Nutshell

Hot and Sour

AND there were the reds having called it quits and all, but with D-day drawing closer Wee-flower was in a tailspin trying hard to cling onto Satty's saree pota. And the git got into such a tizzy that by the time the day dawned he was out for the count with a raging fever. Since then, the blot is also weeping copious tears. Sniff! Sniff! 

The Rage

And Satty sure was in a fighting mood. For she summoned the Pee Em and blasted him for a full 10 minutes for having entertained the red caps at the araliya mandiraya. Ma-hinder could not open his mouth as she yelled at him for serving tea to "those murderers." Dear! Dear! How come she never saw the blood on their hands when she joined forces eh? 

A Woman's Wrath

But Satty was not done with that. And she unleashed her fury at the cupboard meeting too the next day. Telling all her sitting angels that some people can run from temple to temple but that for sure does not make them fit to run a country. And the Pee Em could only bite his tongue and hold his peace - at least for the moment. Hmmm! 

Wrong Line

Sick to the guts with all those around her Satty turned to her old foe Ra-kneel for some succour. Calling him she asked him to come see her. So there was Ra-kneel rushing to keep to time but got stuck in the reds rally and a gigantic traffic jam. He ordered his driver to swerve onto the left and got stopped pronto by a cop who said "Sir, you are on the wrong side." To which Ra-kneel quipped "this whole government is on the wrong side so what eh?" Aye! Aye.. Sir! 

Wrong Advice

But it was not just the reds and the monks who were breathing fire and brimstone over the joint mechanism. Some of Satty's closest advisors too had great misgivings. Harry J, Tara, Mano Bitterwell and Pee Bee en masse told Satty don't do this - it is suicidal. But Satty is no more in any mood to take advice and she told the schmucks - go take a hike. Hee! Hee! 

Class Act

Katanapulle was also in a bad mood. For having been invited to Dompe for a do who should greet him hands clasped but Upali Gee, the organiser for Dompe, who was also the former chair of the Cee W Ee. Katanapulle could only snort when he spotted his old foe. But Upali was undeterred saying at least I showed my breeding and he showed his. My. My... so this ole isle does still sport pedigrees eh? 

Foreign Policy

And Kadi's latest fiasco is to propose to ole Nat-war Singh that Lanka too have a memorial to Rajiv Gandhi. The striped kind are sure to go into a frenzy. And so his deputy ole Wiswa strongly opposed the idea. But Kadi we hear is determined and so battle lines have already been drawn as the two prepare to wage war. Oh well... Let the boys enjoy!
