Talking rubbish

-

A recent political about-turn in the country became the talk of the town. It was the hot topic everywhere. While some alleged it was unconstitu­tional, there were others who justified the move for reasons of their own.

People belonging to various colours had various things to say and reasons to celebrate. But people who saw it from a neutral point of view described it as a silly move which eventually created a historic moment where two individual­s staked claim to the top post in House. This was the hot topic in the entertainm­ent scene too, especially at locations where films and tele dramas were being shot. This is an area where various people claim to represent various colours, and at times they show their real colours when they discreetly change colours depending on who is in power.

So, this talkative actress who was shooting for a film, virtually jumped for joy when she heard that the old guy had been given the new post.

“I don’t care about the allegation­s or interpreta­tions but I like this change for one reason,” she expressed her views.

‘What’s that special reason?,” asked a fellow actor.

“Segregatin­g garbage before disposing them has been a real nuisance. At least I hope this change will relieve me of this tedious task. I will be able to dump them as it is without worrying about what is degradable and what is not,” she quipped.
