Recently, one of the top brass of the neighbouring state of Chotakhand expressed his desire to visit Kannes hill top. As per protocol, the administration was alerted. The magistrate and the cops were on their toes to welcome the Boss.
“Sir will be reaching the Hill by 12 noon. He is likely to spend his day with his family,” informed the office of the Boss.
The hill top has a park, cluster of small lakes and an observation tower. It serves to be a favourite picnic spot or day out for the tourists.
While the Boss was on way to his destination, preparations were on full swing to give him a warm reception. Thanks to the alert officials posted there. The magistrate was active in his role and so was the cop to give their ‘best impression’ before their 'high command' regarding their commitment and concern for his visit.
The magistrate was guiding some of the staff to refurbish the place and the observation tower in order to make it clean and tidy. The cop was posting his personnel to give grand salute to the top brass.
“I think today is the birthday of the Saheb. He wanted to remain aloof from the din of the city and spend his day at this beautiful location,” murmured somebody. The magistrate and the cop was nearby and could overhear what somebody had murmured.
Within few seconds the cop realized that the magsitrate is nowhere around. However, the cop was doing well to keep his force in order. While there was still time for the arrival of the 'Saheb', the cop thought it better to take rest for a while and sat on a nearby chair.
“Saheb will be reaching in another 15-minute or so,” said the microphone in the hands of the police personnel.
The cop yawned on hearing the news. He stretched his legs and arms to ward off the sluggishness of his body. While he was thinking of the magistrate, who had left the scene sometime back was yet to return, he saw some staff coming with the big packet and bouquet. The magistrate was just behind them. He walked close to the cop and sat on the other chair.
“Boss will be here in a short while,” told the cop to the magistrate.
“I know. Just heard on the wireless,” the cop said.
As expected when the Boss reached, the officials accorded him a grand reception. While welcoming the Saheb, the magistrate was quick enough to take the credit of wishing him “Happy Birthday, Sir”. The cop looked blank and realized little late that he missed the opportunity of wishing him first.
Consolidating himself, the cop said, “Wishing you Many Happy Returns of the Day Sir.” The Boss was apparently overwhelmed with Greetings pouring from people around.
The magistrate in the scene was happy to see the gesture of the Boss and asked somebody to get the packet from inside.
The table was ready and the packet was kept on it. You guessed it right; it was a Birthday Cake for the Saheb. The cop, who was standing nearby, substantiated without losing time, “Sir, we could arrange only this much for you. Had you given us time, we could have done more.” This time the awestruck magistrate was dumbfounded as he heard the Boss saying, “No cop, it’s too good. Your gesture as well as arrangement is noteworthy and I’m really happy with this.”
The Boss cut the chocolate cake amid clapping and Birthday song by all. He took out the first slice of the cake and proceeded towards the cop to give him the bite. The magistrate , who was instrumental in making things happen, had no choice but to watch the scene apparently pondering, “intellect is necessary for sycophancy”.
“You have done a good job,” the Boss reiterated to the cop while he invited others including the magistrate to help themselves to have a piece of cake.
