Moody with his 56 inch chest has the world at his feet (satire)


Moody was on cloud nine – he was the miracle man. He had the world at his feet and people eating from his hands. He knew how to woo his audience with his delivery of dialogue and earning applause that kept resounding in the background. It was sweet music to his ears.
These thought came to him as he was reclining in his seat, his eyes glued on the vast expanse of sky all around him. His mission was a huge success. He had poked the Pandora’s Box of Black Money, he had sent feelers for foreign business to set up shop in India, he had denounced terrorism – he had succeeded. Everyone had assured him of cooperation.
Suddenly his phone rang. It was one of his ministers complaining about another minister.
‘You must interfere,’ the lady at the other end was furious. ‘I can’t let these animals be killed.’
‘Who is killing animals? What animals?’
‘The nilgais – can you imagine 250 of them shot dead in six days.’
‘This should not happen,’ Moody said. ‘Are these vicious animals?’
‘I don’t know about that but they are animals and I must see that they are protected.’
‘Don’t worry,’ Moody assured. ‘I’ll see what can be done.’
By the time he rang off, there was another call. This time it was from a film producer.
‘I want you to take a decision,’ the producer was in tears. ‘My film is ready but I am not getting clearance from the censor board.’
‘But why are you telling me?’
‘Because everyone listens to you,’ the producer said. ‘Your word is final.’
‘What is the problem?’
‘The censor board wants innumerable cuts. And – with all those cuts, the charm of the film will be lost.’
‘Is the subject of your film related to indecent dressing?’
‘No. It is a simple story of drugs. The cast includes well-known actors. And – there is no vulgarity.’
‘But then why should there be any controversy?’
‘I have come to know from reliable sources that one of your ministers is the stumbling block. He wants to see it first day first show and, my date of release does not match his requirement. So – he wants to delay the release.’
Moody assured him that he would look into his grievance and, immediately he switched off, it rang again. It was his office.
He sighed. A 56 inch chest has its associated problems. He’ll have to check if it is still 56 inches. (to be continued …)
