Pat & Jolie and their biscuit making (satire)

Lord Shiva was sipping a cup of tea - he hated tea and was more comfortable with ganja and, with Durga around, he had to curb his desires. He looked at her - she was sitting on a tiny mound near him and was munching biscuits along with her tea. Sensing his eyes on her, Durga looked at Shiva.
'Yes?' she asked.
'What is that?' Shiva put a counter question.
'It is a packet of biscuits - a courtesy pack,' Durga explained.
'You brought it back when you went to your mother's place?' Shiva asked.
'No silly. This is courtesy packets distributed by Pat & Jolie - they have taken up making biscuits.'

'I thought they were into instant noodles,' Shiva said.
'This is another venture of theirs,' Durga said. 'They are determined to capture one and all. Their USP is eat healthy, remain healthy.'
'You mean they want to drive the doctors out of business?'
'Well - they want a situation when the need of doctors would be minimum. No one would suffer from simple diseases like cough, cold, joint pains etcetera.'
'By means of biscuits?'
'They are using a secret formula - they are treating the dough with juice of medicinal herbs. Nothing is visible from outside and no one can be satisfied with just one. Lab tests will not reveal these hidden secrets. That is why they are distributing courtesy packs.'
'Do they have plans to enter the export markets?'
'But naturally - this is the age of Make in India and capture the global market.'
'Make in India? I always thought anything produced in India should be Made in India!!'
'Actually - Make in India is a relatively new concept where foreigners are invited to come to India to make the goods and export them.'
'I think is is too complicated,' Lord Shiva yawned and reached for his chillum of ganja. He made it a point to send his trusted follower Bhringi to scout around the Pat & Jolie setup to find out what they were actually up to. (to be continued ...)
