Didi & Co wants 294 out of 294 (satire)

It was a really hectic day for Didi & Co because the all-important bugle had been sounded and she was ready to release her list. It was a well thought out list and, since her people loved cricket, she was determined to fulfill their wishes and include the glamorous boys and girls of cricket into her scheme of things.
‘How is the list?’ she asked Moo Cool who was with her. He was really indispensable to her and never let her down. The way he performed the drama had earned her respect. No one ever guessed that it was all a part of a well-rehearsed script penned by her backend boys.
‘It is a perfect foil,’ Moo Cool said and looked at the others seated around Didi. ‘Don’t you think that the list of a masterpiece?’
‘Of course,’ Dee Wreck agreed as did Omit Misra, Show Van, Patro Chatto, Abhi Shake and the gasng of Arra Bull and Money Rule.
They were all there because they had to emerge winners once again.

‘As you must have seen, there are a few new faces,’ Didi said. ‘I have faith in their abilities and know that they will draw the crowds not only in the meetings but also at the hustings.’
‘But – they are new to the game,’ Omit Misra obviously had reservations.
Didi smiled.
‘Everyone has to make a start at some time,’ she said. ‘And – they have the star value. We have so many of them with us – they have their usefulness.’
‘Yes, you are right,’ Moo Cool spoke. ‘They have a fan following and hence can sway public opinion which is our objective.’
‘What about Mudden Misra?’ Omit Misra asked. ‘He is still not well and in jail. How can he attend meetings and hold rallies?’
‘Don’t worry,’ Didi assured, ‘the best doctors are attending to him and I am certain that he will be fully fit soon.’
‘By the way,’ Didi now turned to Dee Wreck, ‘how is the seat sharing business progressing in the other camp?’
‘They are keeping everything secret,’ Dee Wreck replied. ‘I am watching developments but the new character that has suddenly entered the scene could be a problem.’
‘Use your social networking skills and nip it in the bud,’ Didi said.
‘That is what many others are trying to do,’ Dee Wreck said.
‘I want you to beat them to the punch,’ Didi was serious. ‘You know our target?’
‘Yes – 294,’ Dee Wreck and the others spoke in unison.
‘Remember - it must be a clean sweep,’ Didi said. ‘How you do it is your problem but that is my plan and I don’t like failures.’ (to be continued …)
