When Gods Need Divine Intervention

I’m sorry to follow up my post PFC 6 with another one. But this is important. It proves my power of clairvoyance. This is going to be short.

About 4 months back I had written a post but abandoned it thinking it wasn’t relevant. It was short story of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva coming down to earth for a state of the world survey. In Mumbai, the run short of cash and find the best way to make some quick money is to act in an Ekta Kapoor Saas-Bahu saga. They get hold of a casting director who finds their costumes in total alignment with their latest series ‘Koi Patthar Se Na Maare Mere Saas Ko’. So he sends them to meet Ekta. The Trinity is ready for the audition but find they are taken into a room which has Sanjay B Jumaani (numerologist) and Sunita Menon (new age spiritualist).

Brahma steps forward.

Sunita: Your name has right positive energy but what’s that with those multiple heads?
Brahma: I keep track of everything around me.
Sunita: You need to give people space. You know! Anyway, I’m fine with you. Sanjay?
Sanjay: You will need to add a 4 after your name. Brahma 4! That would make the serial a success. Thanks, you can go now.

Vishnu steps forward.

Sunita: The name’s not right at all.
Sanjay: I agree. It adds up to 8 which isn’t right.
Sunita: You will need to take on a different name. I think Krishna would be right.
Sanjay: I agree. That adds up to 7
Vishnu (ever the pacifist): I’m fine. Krishna is one of my avatars. I don’t have a problem.
Sunita: Please don’t tell us that you knew all the answers. Deposit a 50k Demand Draft and get onto the sets.

Shiva steps forward.

Sunita: The name’s not right. Very aggressive.
Sanjay: I agree. How about King Kong?
Shiva: I am not changing my name.
Sunita: Dear, you speak as if you have a choice.
Shiva (raising himself to full height): Don’t you know me. I’m Shiva, the God of Death.
Sunita, Sanjay (in unison): Boss, don’t give us dialogs from Michael Clayton. Tony Gilroy is a client of ours. And if you don’t change your name, only God can help you.

Exit all.

This morning I read a news item. Ekta Kapoor’s TV series Mahabharat is going to be named Kahani Hamare Mahabharat Ki. According to Sunita and Sanjay, this is a perfect name since Mahabharat added up to eight which is generally not lucky. This is awesome. We have been living with one of our greatest epics that actually is not lucky for us!

Anyway, this only shows that most of the plots that I have outlined in the other post here will also come true. I am thinking of become a spiritual guru myself.

Our Gods desperately need divine intervention!!!

    At a time when this site is becoming a free for all dhobi ghat for washing the proverbial dirty linen in public, posts such as these are such a relief!
