    Who are the immortals?

    Where do we go now? The King of Kings, the Shadow of Immortality has left us. A king has his reign, then he dies. That's how things go. But after the death of a king, a new one should be sworn in. Who will it be? The decrepit Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, fellow Indian immortal SAS Geelani, obese ogre-looking composer Mikis Theodorakis? sorry for them, they'll have to wait. As the new king is none other than.... VMAR Ri Yong-Mu! Ok, now you can drop that gun, Kim. Come on, did you really believe this guy has the stuff to be the king? Not in a million year. So let's introduce our real king... King Bob I! King Bob survived everything during the last ten years, he practically lives at Walter Reed and is giving stage IV lung cancer a very hard time. Long Live the King!

    Who are the immortals?

    Dilip Kumar (1922-2021) You're dead, Dilip (Sam Wheat to Dilip after his passing) Hail to the King! (Dilip to Saira Banu after being discharged for the 5000th time in a year) This thing won't die! (EVERYONE on Dilip Kumar) Age at death: 98 Known health issues: On his identity card Dilip had "death dodger" reported as occupation. He had been a Nosferatur for at least 10 years before his actual death. In 2017 it was a continuous hospitalization. But he would always always come back. Cause of death: metastatic prostate cancer, kidney and respiratory failure. But he was improving a day before his death. Alignment: The greatest Bollywood actor ever, probably almost all his movies suck. To us he was the Lord of Darkness, Image of the Greatest Power of the World or simply that Immortal indian Geezer. We'll miss you Dilip.

    Hospitalised!

    So in India we now have: 1)Dilip Kumar (1922): the original king of immortals, hospitalised three times in a month, suffering from pleural effusion, in ICU but apparently on the mend again. 2)Man Kaur (1916): suffering from presumably terminal gallbladder cancer. Receiving homeopathic treatment as doctors refuse to treat her. 3)Kalyan Singh (1932): suffering from post-Covid complications and has survived a heart attack Saturday. In critical condition since Sunday, but on the mend according to his doctors. 4)Virbhadra Singh (1934): suffering from Post-Covid complications, on life support after cardiac arrest. 5)Mulayam Singh Yadav (1939): hospitalised with age related issues. COVID survivor and has been in and out of hospital for years. Still, his situation is not as worryin as for the others above.
