Didi wants to give Ilish at Rs 10 per Kg (satire)

Moo Cool looked at Abhi Shake, Patro Chatto and Omit Sen and shook his head. The demands of Didi was becoming more and more demanding with every passing day. All of them could sense that she was becoming desperate and wanted to be seen everywhere with her people – doling out the freebies.
‘What do we project now?’ Moo Cool asked others.
‘We have given way bicycles, school uniforms, school books, shoes and even rice at Rs 2 per Kg – what do we give away now?’ Dee Wreck spoke out his thoughts.
‘Mobile phones could be an idea,’Abhi Shake suggested. ‘That way Didi could have direct contact with one and all.’
Suddenly the lady herself entered – she came in like a gust of wind and looked hard at the assembled gathering and found some faces missing.
‘Where is Show Van? And – Fear Had?’ she asked.

‘Both are indisposed,’ Moo Cool said. ‘They had a heavy dinner – at a marriage party. You know how such parties are – it takes great resolve to miss out on those delicious fish fries and ice creams.’
‘I have repeatedly told all of you to stay away from such parties,’ Didi was not happy. ‘There is no knowing who will snap whose photo and flash it on TV. And - I’ll have to do the explaining. This will go down in my black book.’
A boy entered with a tray of tea cups and a kettle of tea – any meeting minus tea is meaningless.
Didi took a sip and put on her glasses.
‘Well – what have you decided? What should we project now?’
‘We could distribute free Padma Ilish,’ Patro Chatto suggested. ‘There is an improvement in relationship with our neighbor. Moody has laid the foundation and we can build on it.’
‘But – what is ilish without mustard oil?’ Dee Wreck asked.
‘Then we will make a package deal,’ Didi appeared to like the idea. ‘Make the announcement – we will distribute one ilish along with mustard oil on subsidized rates in my next meeting. If we keep them happy, they will not disappoint us.’
‘What will we charge?’
‘We are giving rice for Rs 2 per Kg – we will price Ilish at Rs 10 per Kg. Let our friends enjoy life. Omit-ji, please arrange necessary funds as you have been doing till now.’
‘But – the stock of your drawings is exhausted,’ Omit Misra said. ‘You’ll have to create some more.’ (to be continued …)
