Today we present his satire The Secret Office Printer.  

☆ Witful Warmth# 115 ☆

☆ Satire ☆ The Secret Office Printer… ☆ Dr. Suresh Kumar Mishra ‘Uratript’ ☆

In the sprawling corporate maze of OmniTech Systems, Floor 4 was known as the ‘Zone of Silence’. It housed the top executives who communicated exclusively through high-priority emails, cold nods, and severe glances. But among all the sleek chrome and glass furniture, one item held legendary status: Printer 4B.

While every other printer in the building jammed, leaked ink, or ran out of paper every twenty minutes, Printer 4B worked with flawless, whisper-quiet perfection. The catch? It was located right outside the office of Mr. Rathore, the Vice President, who considered the machine his personal property. Anyone caught using it without authorization faced immediate public humiliation or an unpleasant transfer to the basement inventory department.

Anand, a mid-level team lead, was facing an unprecedented crisis. It was 4:45 PM on a Friday. His crucial contract documents for a international client needed to be physically signed and scanned before 5:00 PM. But every standard printer on the floor was flashing bright red error lights.

Desperate, Anand clutched his flash drive like a sacred relic and tiptoed toward Printer 4B.

The corridor was deserted. Mr. Rathore’s office door was slightly ajar, but the room inside was pitch black—he had left early for his weekend golf trip. Anand’s heart pounded against his ribs like a trapped bird. He plugged in his flash drive, pressed ‘Print’, and waited.

The machine hummed smoothly. Sheet after crisp sheet began sliding out into the tray. Anand exhaled a long breath of pure relief.

Just as the final page clicked into the tray, heavy footsteps echoed down the polished wooden floor. Anand spun around, his blood running cold. Walking straight toward him was Mr. Rathore, accompanied by two senior auditors.

“Anand?” Mr. Rathore’s voice sliced through the silence like an ice pick. “What are you doing at my private terminal?”

Anand’s mind raced through excuses: a software glitch, a fire drill, a burst pipe. But the auditors were looking at him with deep suspicion. If they checked the print queue, they would discover he was using executive hardware without permission.

Thinking fast, Anand grabbed the stack of freshly printed pages, turned to Mr. Rathore, and bowed slightly with dramatic respect.

“Sir,” Anand said, his voice firm and unflinching. “The audit team requested an emergency printout of your quarterly department achievements. I knew the standard printers were unreliable, so I took the liberty of using the only printer in this building worthy of printing your leadership records.”

Mr. Rathore stopped dead in his tracks. He looked at the auditors, then at the stack of paper in Anand’s hands, and his chest swelled with immense pride.

“Outstanding initiative, Anand!” Mr. Rathore beamed, slapping him on the shoulder. “A true leader uses the best tools available for important company records!”

The auditors nodded in thorough approval and began clapping. Anand smiled gracefully, gathered his contract papers, and walked away toward the scanner, realizing that in corporate warfare, absolute audacity disguised as buttering up the boss is the ultimate survival tool.

Today we present his satire The Mysterious VIP Pass.  

☆ Witful Warmth# 114 ☆

☆ Satire ☆ The Mysterious VIP Pass… ☆ Dr. Suresh Kumar Mishra ‘Uratript’ ☆

In the bustling IT park of Sector 62, nothing commanded more respect than the coveted ‘VIP Parking Pass’. Having a VIP pass meant your car was parked right next to the air-conditioned glass lobby, while everyone else had to park half a kilometer away in the dusty outer lot and trek back under the scorching sun.

Varun, a senior developer, had been stuck in the outer lot for three long years. Every morning, he would arrive at work looking like an intrepid explorer surviving a desert expedition, his polished shoes coated in layer upon layer of grey dust.

One rainy Monday morning, Varun was cleaning out his desk drawers when he found an old, faded plastic card with the words ‘SPECIAL EXECUTIVE ENTRY – LEVEL 1’ stamped in shiny gold foil. It had been left behind by a director who was fired five years ago.

Varun’s heart skipped a beat. The card had no photo, no name, and no barcode—just the imposing gold lettering.

Deciding to test his luck, Varun drove his dusty hatchback up to the VIP gate the following morning. The tough security guard, Security Supervisor Bahadur—a man who could spot a fake ID from fifty yards away—stepped out of his cabin, holding his baton tightly.

Varun rolled down his window, maintained an expression of supreme bored authority, and casually held the golden card out.

Bahadur looked at the card, then at Varun’s plain white shirt, and back at the card. The silence stretched for ten excruciating seconds. Varun’s foot trembled slightly on the clutch pedal.

Suddenly, Bahadur snapped a sharp, crisp military salute, pressed the gate button, and raised the barrier. “Welcome, Sir! Have a great day!”

Varun couldn’t believe it. He parked his car in Space #004, just ten steps away from the main entrance. For the next two weeks, Varun lived like corporate royalty. No dust, no walking, no stress.

Then came the day of the Annual Board Audit. The Global Security Head arrived unannounced to review all access passes and security protocols.

As Varun pulled up to the VIP gate, he saw Bahadur standing next to the Global Security Head, who was holding an electronic scanner. Varun froze. There was no way out; turning back meant attracting immediate suspicion.

With a heavy breath, Varun handed over the card. The Security Head swiped it through the scanner. The machine beeped loudly twice and flashed a bright red error light: ‘INVALID/EXPIRED PROTOCOL’.

The Security Head glared at Varun. “Sir, this card was decommissioned in 2021! Why are you using this to park in the VIP zone?”

Varun knew his career was flashing before his eyes. He sat up straight, cleared his throat, and said with quiet dignity, “Sir, I didn’t use this card for comfort. Five years ago, the former director gave me this card to test our security guard’s alertness. I have tested Bahadur every single morning for three years. Today, your new scanner finally passed the test!”

The Security Head looked at Bahadur, then at Varun, and his face relaxed into a proud smile. “Sensational! A true field stress test! Bahadur, give this gentleman a permanent updated VIP pass for helping us maintain high vigilance!”

Bahadur beamed with pride, handed Varun a brand-new VIP card, and saluted again. As Varun parked his car, the entire security team clapped for his ‘dedication to security protocols’.

Today we present his satire The Mysterious Whiteboard.  

☆ Witful Warmth# 113 ☆

☆ Satire ☆ The Mysterious Whiteboard… ☆ Dr. Suresh Kumar Mishra ‘Uratript’ ☆

In the main conference room of Nexus Financials, the giant glass whiteboard was considered sacred territory. Every Monday, the Chief Strategy Officer, Mr. Varma, would draw complex trend lines, confusing pie charts, and random interconnected circles that nobody understood, but everybody nodded at with profound fake wisdom.

One Tuesday evening, after everyone had left, the night shift janitor, Suresh, was wiping down the board. While stretching his arm to reach the top corner, his marker eraser accidentally left a strange, curvy streak across a cluster of financial terms. To balance the shape, Suresh took a blue dry-erase marker and casually drew a giant triangle with three little dots inside, right next to the words ‘Risk Assessment’.

He thought nothing of it and packed his cleaning cart.

The next morning, the board of directors gathered for an urgent emergency meeting regarding a sudden dip in quarterly profits. As Mr. Varma stood near the glass board, his eyes fell on Suresh’s random triangle and three dots.

Mr. Varma stopped mid-sentence. He adjusted his glasses, leaned within three inches of the glass, and stared at the triangle for two solid minutes. The room went dead silent. The CEO leaned forward, whispering, “Varma… what is that dynamic structural model on the right?”

Varma, not wanting to admit he had no idea where it came from, stroked his chin thoughtfully. “Ah! This is the… Triangular Tri-fold Pivot Strategy. I drew this late last night. Notice how the three dots represent Risk, Liquidity, and Customer Retention, all contained within the geometric boundary of fiscal restraint!”

The CEO hit his fist on the table in pure admiration. “Genius! Absolute genius! Why didn’t we implement this three quarters ago?”

Within forty-eight hours, the ‘Triangular Pivot Strategy’ became the company’s core operational mantra. Corporate decks were redesigned, new training sessions were scheduled, and the shares of Nexus Financials shot up by twelve percent simply because the press loved the name of the new strategy.

On Friday afternoon, the CEO called an all-hands town hall meeting to celebrate the miraculous turnaround. He invited Mr. Varma to the stage to explain the inspiration behind the legendary diagram.

Varma took the microphone, beaming with pride. “Inspiration comes to a true strategist in the darkest hours of deep reflection,” Varma proclaimed dramatically.

Just then, Suresh walked into the back of the auditorium with his mop bucket. The CEO pointed toward the glass board displayed on the projection screen and asked, “Varma, tell us, what do those three dots inside the triangle truly symbolize?”

Varma hesitated. Truth was, he hadn’t figured out what the third dot was supposed to mean.

Suresh, standing near the back door, innocently called out in a loud voice, “Sir, those three dots are just tea stains that didn’t come off with the glass cleaner, so I drew a triangle around them so it wouldn’t look dirty!”

The entire auditorium froze for three painful seconds. Then, the CEO burst into a loud roar of genuine laughter, followed by the executive board, and soon all two hundred employees were standing on their feet, clapping and laughing uncontrollably.

Varma smiled awkwardly, realizing that sometimes the most revolutionary corporate strategies are literally born out of a tea stain and a mop.

Today we present his satire The Perfect Resume.  

☆ Witful Warmth# 112  ☆

☆ Satire ☆ The Perfect Resume… ☆ Dr. Suresh Kumar Mishra ‘Uratript’ ☆

In the fierce jungle of corporate recruitment, Rahul’s resume was a masterpiece of creative writing. It didn’t just highlight his skills; it elevated standard everyday tasks into grand geopolitical achievements.

If Rahul forwarded an email, his resume stated: “Strategically facilitated cross-departmental communication channels.” If he ordered office stationery, it read: “Managed high-stakes asset procurement and supply-chain logistics.”

His ultimate test came when he was called for an interview at Titan Dynamics, a firm known for grilling candidates until they broke down into tears.

Rahul sat across from Ms. Sen, the senior Vice President, whose eyes could cut through steel. She flipped through his three-page resume with an expression of intense skepticism.

“Rahul,” Ms. Sen began, her tone sharper than a razor blade. “It says here that during your previous tenure, you ‘spearheaded a crisis-mitigation operation that saved the organization from absolute operational collapse.’ That sounds fascinating. Care to explain the exact technical methodology?”

Rahul felt a drop of cold sweat trickle down his spine. The ‘operational collapse’ he had referenced in his resume was actually the day the office water cooler broke during peak summer, and he had successfully located a spare jug in the basement.

He knew that telling the truth meant immediate rejection. But backing down wasn’t an option.

Rahul cleared his throat, sat up straight, and looked straight into her eyes with theatrical gravity. “Ms. Sen, certain operational crises involve sensitive internal dynamics. Revealing the specific hardware involved would breach the confidential trust of my former employers. All I can say is that when human resources were draining rapidly and temperature levels reached a critical threshold, I personally retrieved the vital fluid containment vessel and restored team equilibrium.”

Ms. Sen stared at him in dead silence for ten long seconds. The clock on the wall ticked ominously. Rahul prepared himself to be escorted out by security.

Suddenly, Ms. Sen leaned back in her chair and broke into a wide smile. “Brilliant! Simply brilliant!”

Rahul blinked. “Pardon, ma’am?”

“Rahul,” she said, leaning forward. “Ninety percent of our corporate job involves explaining simple, mundane problems to our overseas clients using overly complicated terms so they feel they are getting their money’s worth. Your ability to turn a simple task into a top-secret heroic saga is precisely what our client-relations division needs!”

She handed him the offer letter right then and there.

As Rahul walked out of the glass building with his dream offer in hand, the entire waiting room of nervous applicants erupted into applause, completely unaware that the key to corporate success was simply learning how to describe a water jug like a nuclear reactor.

Today we present his satire The Silent Wi-Fi Master.  

☆ Witful Warmth# 111 ☆

☆ Satire ☆ The Silent Wi-Fi Master… ☆ Dr. Suresh Kumar Mishra ‘Uratript’ ☆

In the quiet suburb of Green Meadows, Mr. Kapoor was considered a neighborhood legend, not for his past career as an accountant, but for possessing the most powerful, unhackable Wi-Fi connection in the entire locality. His router signal was so strong that people three houses away could stream movies without a single second of buffering.

The catch? Mr. Kapoor refused to share the password with anyone. He guarded it like a state secret, believing that providing free internet to neighbors would corrupt their moral discipline and make them lazy.

This created a covert operation among the local teenagers, led by young Aryan. For months, Aryan tried every trick in the book: guessing basic combinations like ‘Kapoor123’, dropping fake delivery boxes with phishing notes, and even offering to clean Mr. Kapoor’s garden for free while trying to peek at the back of the router. Nothing worked. The network remained locked behind an impenetrable fortress of military-grade encryption.

Then came the night of the big final match of the World Cup. Just ten minutes before kickoff, a massive storm hit the neighborhood, knocking out the local cable TV network. Chaos erupted. Desperate neighbors gathered near Mr. Kapoor’s front gate, peering through the window. Mr. Kapoor’s house was lit up, and his smart TV was seamlessly streaming the pre-match analysis in glorious high definition.

Aryan decided to execute his final, desperate gambit. He walked up to the front door, knocked politely, and handed Mr. Kapoor a freshly baked hot box of homemade garlic bread made by his mother.

“Mr. Kapoor,” Aryan said with pure, innocent reverence. “We know you won’t give us the password, and we respect your principles. But could you at least do us the honor of letting my elderly grandfather sit on your porch? He has watched every World Cup final since 1975, and his heart will break if he misses this one.”

Mr. Kapoor’s stern face softened. He looked at the frail old man waiting by the gate, sighed deeply, and opened the door wide. “Bring him in. In fact, all of you can stand near the doorway. But no phones! Watch the TV!”

The entire neighborhood crowd squeezed into the living room, cheering quietly as the match unfolded. It was a nail-biting finish. In the final minute, as the winning goal was scored, the entire room erupted into wild cheers. People hugged each other, laughing and celebrating.

During the excitement, Aryan’s grandfather leaned closer to Mr. Kapoor, tapped him on the shoulder, and whispered with a warm smile, “Thank you, Kapoor. By the way, your password ‘GarlicBread1975’ is very creative.”

Mr. Kapoor froze. He looked at Aryan, who was quietly holding his phone under his jacket, displaying a full-bar Wi-Fi icon.

Aryan smiled sheepishly and said, “Sir, you only softened when I mentioned garlic bread and the year 1975. It was a logical deduction.”

Mr. Kapoor looked at the boy, then at the happy crowd still celebrating in his living room. He cracked a rare, genuine smile, raised his tea cup, and said, “Well played, Aryan. But tomorrow, it changes to ‘ColdSamosa2026’.”

The entire room burst into loud cheers and applause, honoring the neighbourhood’s ultimate tech showdown.

Today we present his satire The Coffee Machine Protocol.  

☆ Witful Warmth# 110 ☆

☆ Satire ☆ The Coffee Machine Protocol… ☆ Dr. Suresh Kumar Mishra ‘Uratript’ ☆

At the tech startup InnovateX, the employee hierarchy was not determined by job titles, salary packages, or the size of one’s cubicle. It was strictly determined by who knew how to operate the imported, hyper-complex Italian espresso machine in the cafeteria.

The machine looked like a mini spaceship, complete with steam wands, pressure gauges, and sixteen confusing buttons labeled in Italian. Most employees settled for the basic instantly-brewed powdered coffee, which tasted like melted cardboard. Only the CTO, Mr. Alex, had mastered the secret art of brewing the perfect espresso.

Enter Kabir, a newly joined junior developer whose dedication to caffeine was bordering on a spiritual quest. Kabir made it his life’s mission to crack the coffee machine protocol. For three weeks, he secretly observed Mr. Alex from behind a pillar, taking detailed notes on the exact sequence of button presses, milk frothing angles, and coffee bean compression.

On a rainy Thursday afternoon, the cafeteria was empty except for Kabir. He stepped up to the massive stainless-steel machine. His fingers hovered over the buttons like a pianist preparing for a symphony. He pressed the red lever, turned the steam valve exactly forty-five degrees, and pushed the mysterious button marked ‘Espresso Supremo’.

The machine hissed, roared like a sleepy dragon, and suddenly began pouring a rich, dark liquid with a velvety golden froth. Kabir’s eyes widened in pure triumph. He had done it. He held the golden cup of victory in his hands.

Just as he took his first sip, the cafeteria door burst open. In walked the CEO, accompanied by three high-profile venture capitalists who were considering investing ten million dollars in the startup.

The CEO looked flustered. “Ah, gentlemen! Let me treat you to our famous artisanal coffee before the pitch.” He turned to Kabir with an anxious expression. “Kabir, right? Is Mr. Alex around? None of us know how to use this monster.”

Kabir calmly took another sip, adjusted his glasses, and said, “Mr. Alex is in a meeting, sir. But I can handle this.”

With supreme confidence, Kabir operated the machine like a master barista, preparing four perfect cappuccinos in under five minutes. He served them on a tray with a subtle, professional smile. The investors took a sip, and their faces lit up with absolute delight.

“Remarkable!” the lead investor exclaimed. “If your company pays this much attention to detail in its coffee, your code must be flawless. Where do we sign?”

The deal was finalized that very afternoon. During the celebration party, the CEO raised his glass and announced, “We are promoting Kabir to Lead Systems Architect today!”

When Kabir looked confused, the CEO whispered in his ear, “We don’t care about your coding, Kabir, but we cannot afford to lose the only person who keeps our investors caffeinated.”

The entire office broke into roaring laughter and applause, raising their coffee cups to the new master of the Italian spaceship.

Today we present his satire The Out-of-Office Secret.  

☆ Witful Warmth# 109 ☆

☆ Satire ☆ The Out-of-Office Secret… ☆ Dr. Suresh Kumar Mishra ‘Uratript’ ☆

In the fast-paced ecosystem of TechCorp, setting an ‘Out of Office’ email responder is considered an art form. It is the ultimate display of corporate dominance, a subtle way of telling your colleagues, “I am sipping coconut water on a beach while you are drowning in spreadsheet cells.”

Siddharth, the lead product manager, was facing the biggest crisis of his career. A critical software glitch had surfaced just hours before the global client presentation. The entire board was panicking, and the CEO was pacing in the corridor like a caged lion. The only person who held the master access code to fix the glitch was the senior systems architect, Kabir.

The problem? Kabir had gone on an unannounced leave that very morning.

Siddharth frantically sent five urgent emails to Kabir with red exclamation marks. Within three seconds, an automated reply bounced back into his inbox: “I am currently away from my desk celebrating personal enlightenment. I will have no access to phone, internet, or human conversation until next Monday. For emergencies, please pray.”

The CEO was furious. “Find him!” he barked. “Track his location, call his family, check his social media!”

Siddharth spent the next three hours turning into a private detective. He checked Kabir’s Instagram—no posts. He called his apartment manager—no response. The clock was ticking toward 4:00 PM, the exact time of the client call. Failure meant losing a five-million-dollar contract.

Desperate, Siddharth walked down to the building’s basement cafeteria to grab a final cup of black coffee and accept his inevitable resignation. As he sat in the darkest corner of the canteen, he heard a familiar crunching sound from the supply closet near the kitchen.

Siddharth crept closer and pushed open the door. Sitting on an overturned plastic crate, comfortably eating a hot samosa with tomato ketchup, was Kabir.

Siddharth gasped. “Kabir?! You set an Out-of-Office mail saying you were seeking spiritual enlightenment in the mountains!”

Kabir calmly chewed his samosa, adjusted his glasses, and looked Siddharth in the eye. “Siddharth, being stuck in this supply closet with two samosas is the closest a corporate employee can get to spiritual enlightenment. If I stayed at my desk, you would have made me fix three other non-urgent bugs before touching the main pitch.”

Kabir casually pulled out his laptop from a cardboard box, typed three lines of code in twenty seconds, and pushed the fix to the server. The entire system restored instantly.

When the presentation went flawless at 4:00 PM, the CEO announced a special bonus for Kabir’s brilliant automation skills. The team erupted into spontaneous applause, while Siddharth stood there realizing that true mastery isn’t just solving a problem, but hiding in a supply closet until the exact right moment to look like a savior.

Today we present his satire The Presidential Samosa.  

☆ Witful Warmth# 108 ☆

☆ Satire ☆ The Presidential Samosa… ☆ Dr. Suresh Kumar Mishra ‘Uratript’ ☆

The Shanti Nagar Welfare Association election was no less thrilling than a national election. This time, the contest was between two stalwarts: the long-standing president, Mr. Cooper, and the neighborhood’s newly rich builder, Mr. Bhalla. Mr. Cooper’s stake was pinned on his longstanding reputation and honesty, while Mr. Bhalla’s main weapon was the lavish ‘Royal Samosa and Jalebi Party’ hosted on the eve of the election.

A debate had been organized in the society auditorium. The entire hall was divided into two factions. On one side was an army of senior citizens chanting slogans in support of Mr. Cooper, while on the other side was a group of youngsters enamored with Mr. Bhalla’s promises of free Wi-Fi and a modern gym.

The debate reached its peak. Mr. Bhalla took the microphone and declared in a booming voice, “Brothers and sisters, if I am elected president, I will install Italian marble in the society park, and the swimming pool water will be replaced every single week!”

The crowd applauded enthusiastically. Then came Mr. Cooper’s turn. He adjusted his old spectacles and spoke in a calm, soft voice, “Italian marble and swimming pools are fine, but the lock on our main gate has been broken for the last six months, and the security guard hasn’t been paid his salary for two months. Let us address these basic problems first.”

The atmosphere suddenly turned solemn. Just then, Mr. Bhalla’s supporters began distributing packets of samosas at the back of the auditorium. The aroma of piping hot samosas wafted through the air, and everyone’s attention shifted from the speeches to the food plates. It seemed as though Mr. Bhalla’s samosa was about to overpower Mr. Cooper’s honesty.

The voting process began. Everyone slipped their paper ballot into the box. Mr. Cooper sat quietly in a corner, sipping his tea, bracing himself for an inevitable defeat. At seven in the evening, the counting of votes commenced.

When the final results were announced, even the chief guest on stage gasped in utter disbelief. Mr. Cooper had secured a staggering ninety percent of the votes, while Mr. Bhalla received a paltry ten. A shocked Mr. Bhalla leapt up and shouted, “This is unfair! When everyone ate my samosas, how on earth did you all vote for Mr. Cooper?”

Just then, Mr. Gupta, the oldest resident of the society, walked up to the stage, took the microphone, and said, “Mr. Bhalla, thank you for the delicious samosas and jalebis! But it has been a long-standing tradition in Shanti Nagar that we feast on the food of wealthy candidates, but cast our votes for the honest man who would stand at the gate at two in the morning to fix the broken lock.”

The entire auditorium erupted into roaring laughter and thunderous applause. Accepting his defeat gracefully, Mr. Bhalla embraced Mr. Cooper and said, “Mr. President, next time, the chutney will be free from my side as well!”

Today we present his satire The Mysterious Desk in Cubicle 4B.  

☆ Witful Warmth# 107 ☆

☆ Satire ☆ The Mysterious Desk in Cubicle 4B… ☆ Dr. Suresh Kumar Mishra ‘Uratript’ ☆ 

In the labyrinthine headquarters of Apex Logics, Cubicle 4B was a place of legend. Positioned right beside the executive washroom and under a leaky air conditioner vent, it was officially the worst desk in the building. Yet, for three consecutive years, whoever sat in Cubicle 4B managed to get promoted straight into executive management.

When the news broke that the seat was finally vacant again, an unannounced cold war erupted across the department. Rohan, an ambitious mid-level analyst, decided he would stop at nothing to secure the legendary desk. He bargained with the admin team, brought homemade pastries for the facilities manager, and eventually convinced everyone that his back issue required the exact ergonomic angle provided only by Cubicle 4B.

On his first Monday at the new desk, Rohan sat down with the pride of a king ascending a throne. But within hours, the dark realities of 4B hit him. The air conditioner dripped steady droplets onto his notebook, the door of the washroom creaked incessantly, and a strange, persistent low hum reverberated from the drywall behind him.

Determined to unlock the secret of the desk, Rohan began investigating. He noticed that every ten minutes, top directors, regional managers, and even the Vice President would walk past his desk to use the facilities. Each time they passed, Rohan sat up straight, pulled up complex data dashboards, and offered a perfectly timed, respectful greeting.

By week three, Rohan was exhausted. The dripping water had ruined two keyboards, and the constant foot traffic made concentrating nearly impossible. He began to suspect that the legendary reputation of 4B was an elaborate hoax designed by HR to punish overly ambitious employees.

Then came the quarterly performance review. Managing Director Mr. Kapoor called Rohan into the main boardroom. The room was packed with senior executives. Mr. Kapoor stood up, placed a hand on Rohan’s shoulder, and announced to the entire room that Rohan was being promoted to Operations Director with immediate effect.

Rohan was stunned. “Sir, I am honored, but may I ask what specific strategy of mine impressed the board so much?”

Mr. Kapoor smiled warmly and leaned in closer. “Rohan, every time any of us walked past your desk during the day, you were always staring intensely at high-level financial metrics while everyone else was watching cricket clips. We didn’t realize you sat next to the washroom by choice; we just assumed you were the most dedicated employee in the whole division because you never left your seat!”

The entire executive board stood up and burst into thunderous applause. Rohan smiled, realizing that the secret to corporate success wasn’t hard work or luck, but simply sitting in the path of executive foot traffic.

Today we present his satire The Weight of the Invitation Card.  

☆ Witful Warmth# 106 ☆

☆ Satire ☆ The Weight of the Invitation Card… ☆ Dr. Suresh Kumar Mishra ‘Uratript’ ☆

Dubey Ji believed that the world was divided into two types of people: those who attend weddings simply to eat, and those who measure the size of the paneer cubes after eating to estimate the total wedding budget. Dubey Ji was the undisputed king of the second category. For him, every wedding invitation that arrived in the neighborhood wasn’t just a polite gesture—it was a financial challenge.

This time, a surprisingly heavy red and gold envelope landed in his hands. It was the invitation card for the wedding of the son of Seth Dhaniram, the wealthiest merchant in the locality. The envelope was so heavy that Dubey Ji weighed it in his palm and turned to his wife, “Listen, this card weighs at least half a kilo. There must be a box of cashews or dry fruits hidden inside!”

His wife took a sip of her tea and replied coolly, “Don’t get your hopes too high. Nowadays, people put on a grand show on the outside, but inside, it’s just a single sheet of paper.”

However, Dubey Ji’s heart refused to accept that. He began breaking the golden seal on the envelope with the meticulous precision of an archaeologist opening an ancient treasure chest. As the envelope opened, a gorgeous box wrapped in silk cloth slid out. Dubey Ji’s eyes lit up. He lifted the lid of the box, only to find a large slab of carved stone resting inside, with the wedding date and invitation message engraved upon it in shimmering gold letters.

Dubey Ji’s jaw dropped. “A stone? A stone instead of a paper card?” he almost yelled.

For the next three days, the stone invitation was the talk of the entire neighborhood. Some called it Seth Ji’s royal grandeur, while others dubbed it a absurd waste of money. But Dubey Ji’s ego was deeply bruised. He was caught in a massive moral dilemma: how much money should he put in the shagun envelope in return for a stone? Giving fifty rupees would be an insult to the stone, but giving five hundred would be an absolute massacre of his monthly budget.

On the night of the wedding, Dubey Ji arrived all dressed up. He walked straight to the gift counter where Seth Ji himself was greeting the guests. With great dramatic flair, Dubey Ji pulled out his shagun envelope and handed it to Seth Ji.

Seth Ji took the envelope, but feeling its limp lightness, he smiled knowingly and quipped, “Dubey Ji, our card was heavy, but your envelope feels light enough to float away in the breeze!”

Dubey Ji paused for a moment, twirled his mustache proudly, and replied, “Seth Ji, the stone you sent was not merely a card; it was a profound lesson for neighbors like us. By carving the date on stone, you reminded us that relationships are set in stone. That is why this envelope contains no cash, but rather the No Objection Certificate (NOC) in your name for that ancestral plot of land over which we’ve been fighting a court case for three years. From today, that land is yours!”

Tears welled up in Seth Ji’s eyes. He pulled Dubey Ji into a warm embrace. All the guests and relatives present broke into loud, appreciative applause at this extraordinary wedding gift. Dubey Ji smiled, picked up a plate, and headed straight for the most expensive food counter, thinking to himself that this deal was far cheaper than paying endless court fees!
