Didi is always painting pictures (satire)

There were serious looking faces all around. As the day progressed and crowds kept pouring in to join the meeting of the Red Brigade in the city from all corners, the leaders squirmed in their chairs. Tension was high.
‘What is the attendance like?’ Didi asked.
‘It was impressive,’ Moo Cool replied.
‘Did it cross 10-lakhs?’ Didi was fidgety.
‘Can’t say but the TV coverage showed a sea of heads,’ Moo Cool said. He also appeared to be worried. His condition was precarious.
‘It is all a drama,’ Abhi Shake assured Didi. ‘We know they cannot dislodge us from our perch. We will be here for another 5-years.’

‘What are our naughty boys and girls doing?’ Didi looked at Abhi Shake.

‘They are sharpening their weapons,’ Abhi said. ‘They have their work cut out. Thy will ensure that the Reds do not raise their heads.’
Another round of tea came along with hot pakoras. Didi never forgot to have a continuous supply of energy to keep her flock happy and intact. She was aware of poachers and she would hate to lose any of her men. She did have worries abut Moo Cool – and, that fear was still there. She had to be careful.
‘I heard that they brought up that old story of reviving the car factory?’
No one replied. All of then knew that it was their Achilles Heel – they had come to power with promises and, at the end of their term, they did not have anything to show off.
‘I think you must draw a few more pictures,’ Omit Misra opened his mouth. ‘Our financial position is not too good. We need money and, you must draw some more of your wonderful pictures. WE ca sell them off and get a few more hundreds of crores.’
‘I know,’ Didi sighed. ‘I am so tied up with inaugurations that I just do not get the time to sit with my paint brush.’ ‘Why don’t we declare that you are not well, that you need rest?’ Dee Wreck suggested. ‘That way you can get some rest and use that time to paint pictures.’
‘I am always painting pictures. Some sell for crores of rupees, others sell for crores of smiles,’ Didi smiled. ‘Only – the canvas keep changing.’ (to be continued…)
