Moody shelves black money, goes for gold (satire)

#blackmoney #siliconvalley When he took over office, he had made promises and he is now realizing that it is not easy to undo black affairs and capture the yellow ones to fulfil his promises.
‘Why are our dreams of unearthing black money stashed in foreign banks not materializing?’ he asked Jet Lee.
Jet Lee cleared his throat.
‘We keep facing stumbling blocks,’ he admitted. ‘That which had appeared to be within easy grasp is gradually slipping away. In spite of your visits, the locks to the vaults are not opening. ’
‘You mean we had got carried away by assurances from people in whom we had implicit faith?’ Moody asked.
‘Well – sort of. We are still trying but, the end result is not what we wanted,’ Jet Lee mumbled.

‘Black money seems to have vanished by virtue of black magic,’ Baba Someday said. He was also present in the meeting.
‘And – who is doing this black magic?’ Moody looked at the Baba.
‘There are interested persons from all walks of life involved in this game,’ Baba Someday replied philosophically. ‘That is why you will have to take hard decisions.’
‘What sort of?’ Moody wanted to know.
‘Let us shelve black and go for yellow,’ Baba grinned.
‘Yellow?’
‘Yes – gold, the yellow metal.’
‘You mean gold medals in Olympics?’ Moody sat up in his chair. ‘Yes – that would be an idea worth pursuing. I will talk to my friends in Silicon Valley and ask them for ideas. They have plenty of them and they’ll jump at the chance of sharing them.’
Baba sighed and looked at Moody.
‘I don’t mean Olympic gold,’ he said. ‘I mean gold that is lying as dead inventory with people,’ Baba said.
‘I have already launched a gold scheme,’ Moody said.
‘I know. But – it has not caught the fancy of people.’
‘That is why we should go in for Olympic Gold,’ Moody said. Then he picked up the telephone and summoned his PA who entered running.
‘I want to make a trip to Silicon Valley,’ Moody told him. ‘The purpose of my visit would be gold in the Olympics. Get it organized. It’ll be a good start for the New Year.’ (to be continued ..)
