In the parliament somewhere in Britain in the 1800s….
The queen Sonja by virtue of being the ex king’s wife was speaking to her son prince Raul…..
“Why all this noise mamma?…. What do people not want me as the next king?… Am I not deserving?… This is hard work…I just returned from a tour to the Europe…. Don’t even have time to rest”….
“Lay of the wine atleast when you have to attend the session son. And why is your dress torn??”…
Raul,”trust me mamma it’s something which you don’t want to know!!..”… He said between winks…
Sonja thought to herself, “If he wasn’t my only son I myself would have put him down!!”….
“There’s our accountant Sir Manmon trying to ask your permission to speak….. Is he not the leader of our party till I am an old boy mum?… Then why he needs your permission for everything??… Sometimes I feel he even uses the loo after asking your permission!”… He chuckled at his own joke while the queen just banged her head in despair…..
“Don’t forget he is the one who warms our seat son”…
“How does he do that mom”.
“It’s just three G!…good coal!..green grass and gold chair….he uses this combination to keep the chair warm…he is an expert in that”…..
“So whats the big deal about this election mum?….Am I not supposed to get the seat automatically?”..
“Those were the old days son… Now there’s some new trend called democracy….. You need an election and all and that’s why you must come to these sessions and attend our rallies if you want be the king….you should particularly be aware of this chief called Modiolus Maximus”…..
“Wasn’t he the tea seller who served us tea when we went to that village??” R said…
“Don’t say things like that aloud son; remember democrazy!!”
“Also it’s not like the old times…news travels very fast now through a series of running or mobile messengers!!…they are calling it the internetwork!!”….
“Sounds lame mama….I don’t think it will ever catch up!!”.
“This is Chief Airwind’s file…..he is again complaining that Modiolis is trying to kill him!!….see he has marked his files with degrees!..I think he is obsessed with degrees!!”..R uttered……
That’s Zero you nincompoop!!.. Thought the queen…I don’t know what’s motherhood but I guess that’s the only thing which is preventing me from strangling his neck!!
Six months have passed since and the elections have bought many changes… There was always one party named after the grass of contrasting colours called the congrass which always used to win the elections but this time another party led by the lotus grass won with a clear mandate…
A session in progress and the new prime member Modiolus had some new announcement to make before which the leader of opposition had the bench….
“We have always believed that sun revolves around the earth and the earth revolves around the moon!… That’s my opinion and also the opinion of so many economists/astronomist all over!… Then this new proposal from prime member or PM Modiolus would lead to monumental mismanagement of epic proportions!!”……
The speaker was stunned to hear Sir Manmon speak!…he remembered the time for ten years when he never used to utter a word!…he asked the present prime member the details about his proposal…
” Sir, in consultation with my experts I am proposing that it’s actually the earth which rotates around the sun and the moon revolves around the Earth…also my conclusion is that the old flat note theory that Earth is flat is wrong and the new note theory is that the earth is round”….
The whole assembly was stunned at this announcement….the speaker asked the Prime member what’s the name of your proposal??
Modiolus said,” since we are removing moon from the center point of circulation I call it…..Demoonetisation!!!….
