The MOLEstation

My dear Pyarelall is damn busy with the national security concerns. Whenever he puffs a beedi, always thinks it may be a bombing issue. Once he was dreaming of three thailas of sugar but it all turned out to be RDX and once in boiling tea pot he found the heavy water to be smuggled to atomic reactor of Queta.

This all started with Jaswant singh.

Jaswant just wrote a book and mentioned something- Mole. He asked me, ‘ Patrakaar sahib,Jaswant is very strong person but he is real romantic at heart. He smells Champa ke Fool whenever gives an interview to channelwallahs in his lustrous lawn. But, these na-shukra reporters never showed the courtesy to have a byte in right way….Mole hi naheen jaanate . They don’t value Maharaja Jaswant’s values, style and vision. If America has guts, our JS has too. He knows where to do Mole-Bhaav, Whome to give Mole.’

I tried to clear the air, “Pyarey bhai, it is not that mole which means value or cost, it is the mole that was danger to our national security and hiding in PMO.’
‘Post Master’s Office?’ asked Pyare,”You may file IT returns in selective post offices now. Blame Chidambaram if there is any problem? Why Jaswant, the Kandhaar return?’
‘It is not Post Master’s Office; it is Prime Minister’s Office. When Prime Minister’s Office is not security-proof, how would be the Nation?’
‘Oh! What is the difference between Prime Minister’s Office and Post Master’s Office? Both are depending upon letters and stamps nowadays. One envelope from Janpath, another from Akbar road, one from Jaswant babu….’
‘It is not the actual problem. Moles are always to be known for their dangerous characteristics and sometimes ugliness too.’
‘Are you talking about the mole on your right lip? Then, there is Baba Ramdeo .Consult him; he will give you some swadesi remedies. Although, leftist Brinda Karat may object but don’t worry, channelwallahas are always there to support the mole-cause without right-left conflicts.’

Pyarelall’s mobile rang suddenly.

‘Sorry, may be the poor PMO chowkywallahs, asking regarding two girls crashed in... .’
‘A call to honour…The MOLE again ?’
‘ Oh No … just to visit MOLEstation , …just to see the beauty parlor after-effect , Patrakaar sahib!’

Pyare said goodbye to me and beedi, and started composing an SMS to Jaswant singhji.

Hope he is not typing the mole’s whereabouts he knows since last beedi, as PMO is after all busy with more important task like two girls, one boy and a car.*
