Ek Mulaqat
PM: I know you are upset.
MM: One is ‘naraz’ with one's own.
PM: Getting angry doesn’t solve anything.
MM: That is why I'm here.
PM: Leave these tantrums.
MM: Give me a few CBMs.
PM: I shall write you a nice tweet.
MM: I’m not Omar.
PM: OK, I will say something nasty about the Abdullahs.
MM: I want something concrete.
PM: How about evening flights at the Srinagar airport?
MM: Big deal! These NC wallas track night flights.
PM: I don’t know what else to give you.
MM: You know what I want.
PM: Listen, you shall be exempt from singing Bharat Mata Ki.
(At this point Amit Shah and other heavy-duty gents in the ante-room come running, hollering: Jai, Jai. The PM looks at them sternly, signaling ‘all is well’!)
MM: Can’t you offer me something better?
PM: Would you like Anupam Kher as the brand ambassador of Kashmir?
MM: No way. He is like an Amritsari shawl. Not even proper Kashmiri.
PM: You mean a cheapster?
MM: A fake shawl. If you know what that means.
PM: Get me an original pashmina shawl next time.
MM: I will. I promise. Just give me something — this one time.
PM: We can give you a quota in JNU.
MM (snidely): I hope you won’t call it anti-national quota?
PM: You just gave me a poor joke (PJ) for my new tweet.
MM: Keep my request in mind, please.
PM: Yes, yes. Of course.
MM: See you soon.
PM: Make sure the shawl has my name all over it.
