Pif Paf is a brand new... um... brand, introduced in Chennai by the Bongu-Chennaiites association (mostly) with a focus on original methods of killing cockroaches with a deeply pious yet ironic and socially productive tone. A group of amateur, lets-find-a-new-excuse-to-pass-time yet enthu-putting insect-killers in Chennai are the driving force behind Pif Paf– the first avatar of this product will be unveiled on Dec 30th and whenever the public demands it next at the Chetpet Bus Terminus, where people apparently need it the most.
Pif Paf is an idea, an esprit [not the perfume with the hot model in its ad but the word coined by white people with the best seats], an emotion, an invocation, and a cuss word. It is what defines a cockroach killer's life.
Pif Paf cannot be defined. It is however, definitely a gimmick. Not a movement, in fact quite the lack of it. Not a fad but an honest attempt at one. Not the name of a lost Teletubby, but the nom-de-plume of a confused fat bird, plumes included.
Pif Paf is for individuals who are amused and irritated by the synchronized swimming contests that cockroaches hold in the sink water that we swim in everyday, in order to be polite and grown up towards each other. Pif is W rated (yes, we don't know what that means either).
There will be two sprays per day, @ 8am and 7pm (thats the peak infestation time usually)– The show content for the 30th will not be repeated on the day whenever it is repeated. Come on you can't expect us to remember what we did the previous day! Especially since most of it will be cooked up on the spot. Yes, you heard right! That’s two whole days of brand new spraying.
Units are priced @ Rs. 50 if you have your student i.d. and Rs. 100 without (special concessions for IIT hostellites because well, we feel for you). Units available at your nearest Saravana Stores. Or contact me for bookings.
Come experience the Pif Paf festival, which gives a Pif for bad roaches, says Paf off to those show-offs and Shakespeare impersonators, and is indubitably, a @*#&*(#&
The focus is on collaboration, on the killer, on life, on death, especially ironic truths. Don’t miss out on the Pif Paf parade, on the 30th of December, where loads of enthusiastic cock roaches will perform acrobatic feats before your very eyes.
With a whole lot of things I've never touched before but will talk about anyway because it gives me scene value,
The Pif Paf Parade.

...meh.... Would have been nicer had you come, seen, then commented.
You still have your 'job'. You were 'hired' for your tech skills, not your sarcasm. But on that front, I see no tangible results. Correct me if I am wrong.
