Lord Shiva watches the antics of Didi (satire)

Lord Shiva was in a good mood – he held the binocular to his eyes and it was focused on the airport. He was watching big names walking down the lounge to get into their vehicles and make a beeline for the dinner date with Didi, the keeper of all she surveys.
‘At last things seem to be happening,’ Shiva mused.
‘What things?’ Durga asked.
She was standing beside Shiva – she was also in a happy mood. This year, winter was not severe and, that was why there was no need to put on warm clothes.
She realized that fashion changes with the time and that is why a new trend was emerging. She could see men and women with the shawl slung over the shoulder – they did not wrap it around the body as they normally did in the past. She first saw it in some TV serials, and she now knew the reason.
‘So many celebrities at a time in the airport!’ Shiva chuckled. ‘Didi has at last something to brag about. I saw a couple of central Ministers in the crowd.’

‘Yes,’ Durga grinned. ‘She has invited them to come.’
‘What is the occasion?’
‘Could be a late New Year party,’ Durga said. ‘She was so busy touring the countryside and, with all her meetings and distribution of cycles, she must have realized that she forgot about her New Year party.’
‘I heard she has personally rung up the invitees,’ Shiva murmured.
‘Yes, she knows how effective any personal approach is,’ Durga explained. ‘She wants positive results. Her time is running out and she needs to make sure that she does not go into oblivion.’
‘OK – but, tell me, she is always crying that she has no money. Then how does she manage to gift so many bicycles?’ ‘That is her secret,’ Durga smiled. ‘It is an example of woman power. They can do wonders.’
‘Do you have any idea about what her agenda is?’
Durga gave a hearty laugh.
‘It is just a dinner date in Nicco Park,’ she said. ‘All the big chefs will bowl over the guests. They will dance to the tunes of Bollywood heroes and heroines and, on the side, will discuss whether to invest in handicrafts industry or pickles industry.’
‘But – they have been debating for the last four years.’
‘Such debates will go on and on. Industrialists will come and go and Ganga will flow on forever.’ (to be continued …)
