Flaps are out! Emergency declared in Pandikkad

-- Mumbai & Tiruondoram Correspondents

Hours after the ceremonious removal of the famous food flap that was afixed on Mr.JCB's bedroom door, from its one year faithful service, a state of emergency was declared in and around Pandikkad by the authorities, blacking out all independent television channels and filling streets with men in uniforms.

Dafna TV, the state driven channel of MCA community went blank, within an hour after the declaration of emergency. Thousands of civilians, who were eagerly waiting for the final episode of the mega serial “Ente Pathu” (written and directed by Koya) marched on the streets firing slogans against the dictatorship of the president Mr. Baduvez along with women and children carrying placards and banners denouncing the emergency and state sponsored terrorism. (In)Famous cultural activist Chakkarappoovan along with pop star Kothukini, lead the demonstrations.

However, Mr. Baduvez has denied the allegations about his dictatorship and autocracy. "This call of emergency is not for reassuring my victory in the upcoming elections, but for the benefit of our society and coming generations. In fact, this is against the FF culture, which has severely affected our traditions since its introduction by the business tycoon Mr. JCB. The major challenge before us now, is to effectively seal the FF hole, which Mr.JCB has left open. I find that hole more dangerous than an open bore well. This emergency will not be lifted until this cultural threat has been dealt properly

It was on yesterday that Mr. JCB removed the controversial flap, yielding to the rigorous embargo imposed by his close relatives and friends. Only a few relatives, close friends and an elite class from the media had the honor of attending the function, which was a “strictly private affair” according to one of the invitees.

"The food flap was removed owing to the fact that the couple is now finding time to come out and dine with the family" - commented one of the relatives.

The idea of food flap was put forward and implemented by Mr. JCB himself. According to him, that way he was able to effectively manage his post marital time, avoiding the short trips for the in take of food and water. Since then, the idea has caught the imagination of the newly weds all over the world. Similar food flaps were affixed by prominent members of our society like Mr. Bindi Ayyo Ayyo, Mr. Payaru, Mr. Laskar and Mr. Kanji. The latest installation was reported for Mr. Tuttu Alias Koppa. It is also rumored that Mr. Koya has already placed an order for the same and is planning to have it installed at least one week before his marriage, so that he can get used to the idea.

Meanwhile, in a press note released today, Mr, JCB has announced his plans to patent the idea of FF and to take royalty charges (exact amount is unknown) on each installation of the FF. This statement has triggered widespread protest from AKKA (Aduthu Kalyanam Kazhinjavarude Association) . AKKA Chairman Mr. Bindi Ayyo Ayyo commented that the whole thing as “Outrageous - How could he think of patenting an idea that is largely benefiting the whole community, for mere monetary advantages?"

(Mr. JCB recently resigned from AKKA, after being voted out for Mr. Kanji for the position of Chief Secretary of the community). Meanwhile, the whole AKKA community is hoping that Mr. JCB will not go ahead with his decision for the patent.
