"Battle of Finances aka hold of IPL"

To the readers - This is an email reply that I gave to one of my single friends when he was trying to convince us to go for an IPL match between RCB n KKR...the names are changed but the mood would be evident to you all..Hope you like the funny twist to young couples trying their hands at saving money...


Dear Major General Patton Majumdar aka 'Beer Tanker's tunnel',

I'm confused, why haven't you been preview to this change in the ongoing "Battle of Finances aka hold of IPL". All parties fell back on the charge due to significant casualties on their finance front. The news about the retreat was relayed through the corporate band over the WWW network. The message was encrypted and sent with utmost secrecy.

The 4 platoon commanders came up to this decision due to following reasons -

1. Commander Phull - When the order came, at first Commander Phull aka 'Khajanchi calculator' was brave enough and decided to lead the charge without his longtime trusted Lieutenant, Pinki Phull aka 'Joshilee Punjaaban'. However, after being briefed by her on the immobility caused to the movement of the currency soldiers due to the bombardment by HaDaFaaCee(deadly arm of the infamous Kamakaze squadron) on the newly acquired bomb shelter, he decided to give Lieutenant Pinki Phull a hand in gathering the currency soldiers for the renovation and decoration of the bomb shelter.

2. Commander Baruah - As you're aware he has a fully stacked garrison which has a great supply of existing INR soldiers and now backed by the US currency soldier aid given during his trip for the US treaty negotiation. Moreover, with the current coalition with the  partisans resistance currency soldiers, Commander Baruah aka 'Silent drinker' was the first to send his troops for attacking the fox hole dug by the ticket counters. He was determined to blow the IPL ticketing counters out of their fox holes to kingdom come along with the fierce Lieutenant payal Baruah aka 'Dynamically Darpok Lalita ji' . Unfortunately, he was given the sad news of the other 3 Commanders not being able to the "Battle of Finances aka hold of IPL" due to the overall casualties in the ongoing "WAR of Expenses", he remembered that every currency soldier is worth saving when the time comes. Hence he decided to back out for now.

3. Commander Pant - Commander Pant was determined to give out a fully fledged, all out attack at "Battle of Finances aka hold of IPL" and so agreed when he heard that all his trusted fellow Commanders have agreed to go to the battle. Bizarrely, somewhere in his excitement of gathering the precious FUEL and reliving the daily war games with friends, he forgot the war field diagrams and intricate mission planning that his stern, calculative, right hand WO-man, lieutenant Babali Pant had done for the future. After reading the official deployment orders accepted by Commander Pant, she confronted him. She briefed him about the heavy push that the ferocious Banker's Brigade will put on them when they will be mounting attack to win the Home post. Sadly, he had to hold his adrenaline rush and ask his currency soldiers to form position in the ammunition factory called the 'ladies purse'.

4. Commander Mukherjee - He was also among the first few to blow the whistle to his calm and calculative subordinate Lieutenant Romita Mukherjee aka 'Shaant Toofaan''s plans of fortifying their current position with newly liberated currency soldiers that have joined after she rescued(and continues to..) them from The Publishing House POW camp. Realizing Commander Mukherjee aka 'Timepass Pujaari' 's Gung-Ho attitude and his weekend mission to sabotage the IPL ticketing counter's propaganda meeting of their secret service groups RCB and KKR, Lieutenant Mukherjee lured him to a more important espionage adventure. She told him about the ultimate plan of cutting supplies to the most dreaded henchmen in the 'War of Expenses', General Tax collector's headquarter IT department. So TP has set out on the espionage mission to invest his currency soldiers on capturing the Concorde(their house project) fighter plane.

As you can see the vigor was to do give you total support on the "Battle of Finances aka hold of IPL" but due to the enlightening revelation of bigger 'WAR OF THE EXPENSES' decided to hold off the advance until everyone regroups with filled BANKS(pronounced TANKS) to support you in the future battles.

Looking at your kind cooperation to support us by your currency soldiers kept on reserve. If you can provide them to us the 4 Commanders and their Lieutenants would do their best to lead your troops at the "Battle of Finances aka hold of IPL" and provide you required support to make it a memorable WIN.

On Behalf of the force 4 from Bangalore.

Thanks,

Comm. Pant

  3. I’ve always been a fan of analogy and personification in literature. Here's one with a twist...the battle scene used as a perfect setting.

    My thought - I don't know whether this was intentional but I feel the imagery of war and soldiers resonates with me the battles urban couples fight each day to attain their desired places in society. Of course, the humor lightens it all up for the better...! It’s an interesting angle bordering on satire too - which is by far my favorite form of writing. Hope to see more such "little masterpieces"!
