Didi rolls out the red carpet (satire)

Didi has come up from the ranks and knows just how to win friends and influence people. Believe it or not, she could have been a strong challenger to Dale Carnegie because she has her methods that she has perfected over a period of time.
Her main weapon is surprise – no one can foretell what is going in her mind.
That is why Moo Cool was always wary of her.
‘What are you doing with those forces that have landed up?’ she asked him.
‘They are new here,’ Moo Cool said. ‘They are looking around.’
‘For what?’
‘Needles in the haystacks,’ Moo Col replied with a straight face.
‘Have you seen to their comfort?’
‘Yes,’ Arra Bull said. ‘We have provided them with mosquito repellant creams.’
‘What about their accommodation?’
‘We have requisitioned some schools,’ Patro Chatto said.
‘And food?’

‘Well – their diets are different to ours,’ Money Rule said. ‘Many of them do not eat fish or rosogollas. But – our cooks are ensuring that they get what they want.’
‘Keep them well fed. I don’t want them to complain about these minor irritants like food, accommodation etcetera.’
‘Don’t worry, my boys are taking full care of them,’ Moo Cool said.
‘What about their patrolling duties?’
‘They have made a routine to go around in the mornings and evenings. No trouble so far.’
‘Good – maintain a good rapport with them. But – what about the officers from various parts of the country who have been sent here?’
‘They are also fully comfortable,’ it was now the turn of Dee Wreck.
‘Remember - they need to be kept in good humor.’
‘We had arranged special passes to watch the T20 match,’ Moo Cool explained. ‘And – there were special screenings of the latest movies released.’
‘Have you not suggested that they go marketing?’
‘Yes. My boys have arranged for that,’ Dee Wreck said. ‘After all, we have plenty to offer in the form of handicrafts plus wide range of sarees. They have heard about these and, now, they have seen them and are impressed.’
‘It is up to you to keep them happy. They should not interfere too much in our workings. They have a duty to perform, let them do it. They want to transfer my police officers – fine. They have to show their work to their higher ups. But – let them know the boundaries and not overstep.’
‘Don’t worry,’ Moo Cool assured. ‘They will not create trouble. When D-day comes, they may not be in the station. They could go to visit relatives or fall sick. Anything can happen – so keep your fingers crossed.’ (to be continued …)
