Moody, Jet Lee and missing pulses (Satire)

Moody was in a dilemma. He had plenty on hand and would have liked his 24-hour-day to last much longer but, in spite of regular yoga sessions, he just could not manage to squeeze in time to cater to some really personal needs – like that of catering to a mother and a wife. They were there and he knew that they would always be there and would never bother about getting in his way. He was a free bird and could devote more attention to his hopping missions across the globe to win friends and influence people.
Suddenly there was a timid knock on his door and, without waiting for his permission, there entered Jet Lee, one of his lieutenants. He had deep furrows on his forehead and appeared to be worried.
‘Yes’, Moody looked up from his papers.
‘It’s about the pulse,’ Jet Lee mumbled.

‘Pulse?’ Moody was surprised. ‘Who is sick? Is he anyone from our camp?’
‘This is not that pulse,’ Jet Lee explained. ‘It involves all those poor people who must take care of their pulses.’
‘But naturally, Moody smiled. ‘The pulse indicates the condition of the heart. You must know the doctor always checks the pulse of the patient to determine the condition of his health.
‘I know all that. The problem now is that pulse is not available and the condition is deteriorating day by day.’
‘Then put the patient in the ‘I see you’ chamber. Let us get the best doctors. We must ensure that the patient does not die.’
‘Actually, it is not the pulse that I mean,’ Jet Lee wrung his hands and looked apologetic.
‘What do you mean?’ Moody was not happy.
‘I think we are on the wrong frequency.’
‘Be more specific.’
‘I am talking about pulse which is known as ‘dal’ – you know chana dal, tur dal, masur dal, arhar dal - these have vanished from the shelves.’
‘Well – get them back. That is what you are here for. Don’t bring such silly points to me. And, now, if you will excuse me – I have to prepare for my monthly exercise to spread awareness.’ (to be continued …)
