Humor And Satire
(by Promod Puri)
Modi: Kamecho, Trump-bhai! Mubarak ho—oh, I mean, congratulations!
Modi: Come on, it’s me, your friend-in-need, friend-indeed, Modi of India!
Trump: Ah, Narendra! I remember now.
Modi: (beams) Yes, yes! Got it right this time. I prayed for you and did some ‘havans’—you know, holy fires—to keep those ballots burning in your favour.
Trump: Thanks, buddy! You know what, my VP’s wife is from India. Her name’s “U-sha”, real nice lady. Do you know her?
Modi: Usha! Yes, yes… we go way back—actually, no, I don’t. (laughs) I lie sometimes, bad habit. So, what’s your ‘genda’ for the next four years?
Trump: Oh, tons on my plate, but first things first: I’ll be rolling out a few handy presidential pardons for myself. Clear the path, you know what I mean? Then, it’s all about “Make America Great Again.” Sort of like your “Achche Din,” right?
Modi: Ah, yes! The “good days” catchphrase—you’re a smart guy like me, haha! It’s nice that in America, a few pardons can cover… well, just about anything.
Trump: (grins) No such tricks in India?
Modi: Well… not quite the same. Here, to wash away our sins, we do a few rounds in the sacred Ganga River. All evil deeds are washed away with a little holy dip. It’s the traditional, splashy way to wash off any, uh… the sin baggage.
Trump: (snaps fingers) (eyes gleam) Now that’s a power wash? Can you send me a few buckets of that G-water?
Modi: Absolutely! I’ll send over a fresh batch of Ganga water. Special delivery, guaranteed “less polluted.” Jai Ram, Trump-bhai!
Trump: (chuckles) I know a guy named Ram. Alright, take care, my friend!
