THe divine comedy

Morning .....
Today my children...we will try to interpret why people are the way they are......confused....bewildered...searching for things which they themselves know are unattainable.......Maybe somebody rigged the system......Maybe just maybe we should take a closer look at our divine parents....
Scene : Kailash
Main characters:
Shiva : God of auspiciousness
Parvati :Spouse of shiva
Scene 1:
Parvati (P) : My lord.......whats up with you??....Its been 3 days since you opened your eyes......is it the hashish you smoked at Indra's party the other night......??
Shiva (S): Paro......how many times have i told you ..dont refer to me as "lord".....I feel like a pompous buffoon.......actually I was deeply contemplating whether I liked hashish or chillum....or are they the same ??....Its difficult to remember things once you are high.....
P : Forgive me Lord.....oops....darling......you know how concerned I am about you.....Its really awkward when the man of the house goes on rave parties and comes back clothed in tiger skin.....by the way where did you get them.....they feel so great....
S : Its a present...from one of my devotees......But have to be careful.....Apparently tiger is an endangered species...and you never know when we might get into trouble........Keep it in the closet will you alongwith the hashish....I think I need to take it slow......
P : Yup even I think so......By the way how is the preparation for the Great divine dance competition coming along.......I think you will go for your trademark "Tandav"....
S: Nope ..I think people dont appreciate classical dancing any more......I hate those Shiamak davars classes.....There is no competition with those guys......the way they gyrate I think I must have put in India rubber instead of a spinal cord......
P : Oh dont say so....peope really like it when you do your gig.......
S: Pshaw!!!.....dont patronize me Paro.....Earlier the devotees used to fawn over me....whatever I did was aped and people hung on my every word.....But now.......they have become smarter......
P : How can you say??
S: You just have to talk to them to know it......There is this new fad of questioning everything that I say.....Sometimes I am sober but most of the time it is the hashish that does the talking...I can't give reasons for that.......
P :Yup they are finally realising that they hold the key to their own destinies.....
S: Hmmmm.......They have defined pretty much everything.....just hope hey dont interpret us.......that would be the day....Imagine if they realise that we are just like them......No temples...No sycophantic worship....worst of all no recognition.....
P : You know what.... you should go to my Bro....Vishnu...He must have something up his yellow coloured sleeve...
S : Ya.....He is the most cunning of all of us.......Maybe he is waiting for one of us to goto him....so that once again his supremacy among us could be established......
P : Dont be jealous....just talk to him......maybe he has a plan....


Scene 2 :Ksheer sagar
Vishnu is in "Yog nidra"......Lakshmi is not at his side......Apparently Sensex dropped by a few points creating a furore in mumbai.....and she had to leave urgently to be at her devotees side......

S : Hey champ......whats new??......
V : Nothing much .....Iam bored man...nothing to do....and this serpent is becoming old......you dont know how annoying it is when somebody hisses in your ear when having a conversation
S :Tell me about it......even mine doesnt allow me a minute of peace.....so hows the time looking for a new incarnation ??
V: Not again.......I have gone down 9 times..and each time these guys made religions out of it......And that too contradictoy to each other.......I never did or said all those things that they claim to be my doing.......
S :Like.......?
V :Take the Gita....do you think any man in a proper frame of mind would sing a 1000 page long book in the middle of the battefield.......
S :Gosh....what was the conersation about then???
V : Oh that...Arjun was having some domestic problems....his wife was complaning about his habit of getting married in every kingdom he visits...As a friend I was just giving him some pointers......
S : Ya .....you would know...:P....you rogue.....How did you do it.....I mean manage 16000 wives....
V : Its easy you tell each one of them that they look divinely beautiful than the other and you actually admire her the most.......nothing much to it....
S : You are smart arent you??...I came here asking you when you were going to incarnate and you havent answered it yet.....so ...whats your answer.....?
V : I dont know man....Do they really need us to guide them.....I dont think we can monopolise peoples attention any longer........chuck it .......I think we should appoint a commitee to give us regular reports .....just to monitor them
S: you sure......No more chanting your name???...I know you like it...:
V: I will survive........But just for the heck of it....lets just go and scare the heaven out of brahma.......Its fun when all his three faces register fear at the same time....quite a sight...
S: Sure.......Iam game......
