This ** FICTIONAL** article appeared in one of the most upcoming youth magazine Scribido and it can be read HERE
By Delusional Reporter
We have created a …oopss!! Did I say ‘created?!! No… I mean,
we have covered a sensational and inspirational story from Aamir Khan’s
unobtrusive show Satyamev Jayate. The team of Delusional Tribune has done a
ground ZERO research (I stand corrected, because last time I had a slip
of pen and wrote, mistakenly GROUND ZERO means sit-on-ground-and-use-Google
to search & write articles on).
And coming back to our news story, we have found out that
since the commencement of a perfectionist’s perfectly tried and priced show
Satyamev Jayate, the sales of TISSUE PAPERS have soared up dramatically. Only
four episodes have been completed and the stocks of tissue papers, across
India’s kirana stores have diminished in no time. The kiranawallas are
surprised with this unexpected turn of the people, especially uncles, to buy
tissue papers.
We managed to speak to a veteran kiranawalla, Babulal in
Mumbai who has taken a big leap from kirana store to exclusively tissue paper
show room, which has a wide and variety of tissue papers; versatile color
ranges, all of them having a prefix of ‘perfectionist’ before their traditional names: ‘perfectionist’s
black’, ‘ perfectionist’s pink’, ‘KiranRao’s color’, etc. etc.
Spitting the red color chewed tobacco in front of me; yes it
seemed as if I disappointed him by not buying a tissue box, he said, (putting
his ring finger in his nose and speaking in a nasal voice), “ woo kyaan hainn
na, kiii (now scratching his head with same ring finger), Aamir ji bahut
salonse hame prerit karte aye hai, hamne hamesha unki beard ke isstyle ko
follou kiya hun. ee dekhiye, susra Gajni ke bakhat, e-hair cut karwaya aur
kambakhat baal hi nahi aya wapis. Par I, (spelling out the word) l-o-o-s-e not
my patient anad (and) getting inspectered from him” . I quickly tried to
correct him as soon as he finished his speech by telling him it’s ‘inspired’
and not ‘inspectered’ , for which he made a very rough, coarse sound from his
throat and again, spat in front of me, this time very close to me than the last
time.
I pulled myself and asked about what triggered this new
business and replying in his typical style,” yii look, what happeness ij that,
ehwen Ekta kapoor ujed to have her sherials, (feeling uncomfortable and
switching to Hindi) sirf auntiyan aake tissue paper leti thi, par ab Aamir bhai
ka sow (show) jab se aya hai, saala sare uncle lok bhi aake khareed lete hai.
Mai bahut khush hun ke hum jaise gareebon ka acha khasa dhanda Aamirji kara
rahe hai. Wo bhalehi 3 crore paise lete hai ek sow ke liye, par wo jitna sabku,
dardnaak kahanion se rulaenge, utna hi we will have business in profit”.
Having said this he suddenly ran to greet Aamir Khan’s first
wife, who arrived to buy 10 tissue boxes as Business Pundits predicted shortage
of tissue papers in market, if the show continued to hit auntie’s and uncle’s
heart and emotions.
Gujarat Chief Minister was quick enough to sign a MoU with France’s
leading TISSUE manufacturing industry and promised to set up world’s first Tissue
Park, which will be inaugurated by Aamir Khan himself.
Diggy tweeted after hearing this news: “SAD that Rahulji and
I couldn’t find enough Tissue papers after d UP Assembly Election results. I
hav proof tht BJP/RSS have conspired this”
The finance minister, when became aware of our path-breaking news,
called up a press conference and announced special tax exemptions for TISSUE
manufacturers. He said that such shows will not only create awareness but also
create HUGE employment opportunities and it would push GDP of Indian economy to
great heights.
Even PM came out to issue some statements about the show, but
as usual ended up speaking NOTHING, and, eventually waved his hands, and followed
Madamji.
At NewsHour Tonight, Arnab Goswami blasted on top of his
lungs to demand answers to the questions:
“Has Aamir Khan’s show done enough to pull up the sales of
TISSUE PAPER than the Central Government Tissue Manufacturing policy?
I want an answer, the whole of India is watching and they are
desperate to know that why a tax payer’s money wasn’t used to do some good for
Tissue Industry?
Where has that money gone?
Why is the democracy being misused?
When will the culprits be prosecuted?
Why isn’t the aam aadmi raising voice against this injustice?
How will this affect the 2014 elections?
Let’s ask to the distinguished panel we have here tonight…”
and he turned around to the panel, only to find out that he panel were from all
erstwhile cricketers. The script writer made some gestures to make him realize
that he read the wrong script!!! And that script was if Sachin should retire or
continue playing.
At last, fed up of all
these statements, Aamir himself came out in public and gave perfect answer,” I,
am delighted to hear that Tissue Paper sales are soaring high, but we should
understand that this is really a sensitive matter. My director is also upset
that such important issues are not generating enough revenue, ahh?!!! Sorry,
cut it!! Cut it!! We will have a retake…”
“I, am delighted ……blah blah……………….. not generating enough awareness.
So please understand the gravity of this situation and thus, in the end,
you will understand that and won’t be astound tomorrow, if I may fire the
current director and I may direct it by myself!! Since I am THE
MR.PERFECTIONIST”
