Didi and the unique case of morphed photo (satire)

Didi never bothers about what anyone says, she has a certain fixed idea in her mind and she believes in pursuing an agenda totally of her own. And, to assist her in activities, she has at her disposal a group of sincere and dedicated supporters who never blink an eye – even when the chips are down.
She was on her innumerable tours to the remote corners to bring home the message to the masses that she is their only savior and, it was during one of these sojourns that she heard about the bombshell. It was about some of her men (and women) who had gone beyond the call of duty and had got involved in some dealings that were not quite what she had expected.
‘Find a way out,’ she told Moo Cool – he was a person who had a ready solution to any problem, no matter how complicated.
‘You mean we must use a thorn to weed out the thorn?’ Moo Cool asked.

‘I don’t need to spell it out to you,’ Didi said. ‘’You have been with me long enough to know what I mean.’
‘Very well,’ Moo Cool replied. ‘I’ll teach them not to interfere in our methods. They have shown some people accepting money. Therefore, I’ll send across a couple of my men who will also offer money to one of their leaders.’
‘And, get the media involved. They’ll jump at the chance of laying hands on some spicy matter.’
‘OK – it’ll all be done. You can go ahead with your task of winning friends and influencing people.’
Didi was satisfied but Moo Col’s plan did not work out as planned. The target went ahead and lodged a police complaint and even reported the matter to his bosses in Delhi. The result – more confusion and, brickbats from all quarters.
When Didi got the message, she was furious. She never wanted to annoy or antagonize the people in Delhi. Therefore, she now rang up Dee Wreck, the wizard of social media.
‘I want some action,’ she said. ‘One plan has misfired. Think up another one – and, it must not blow up in our face.’ ‘I think we can go in for morphing,’ Dee Wreck suggested.
‘Morphing? What is that? I have heard of morphine – it’s a medicine,’ Didi was surprised. ‘Are you suggesting that we use some tantric medicine on them?’
‘No. I mean use latest technology to create illusions,’ Dee Wreck explained.
‘Please explain,’ Didi said.
‘Morphing is the art of altering appearance through computer programs. One can modify any image and replace the face of one person with the head of another.’
‘You mean the photo of Moo Cool eating rasogollas will be altered to show that you, and not Moo Cool, are eating rasogollas?’
‘Yes, that’s the idea.’
Unfortunately, this plan also fell flat on its face because the artist had chosen the wrong one. (to be continued …)
