After a long, long, long time ....finally my OWN blog (yipeee!).. With a lot of my dear friends - Dhanu, KK, Ashwin & Surya already into blogging way before me, I was waiting to jump-in...but due to (much cliched) "technical problems" was unable to do so.... So here goes my first post...
This article/writeup was written by me during my journalism days at St.Xavier's...The assignment was to weave a story around the words marked in red.....
Btw, it won the "Best Humorous Story" prize - a Cadbury Perk!!!
(I would recommend u keep a dictionary in hand before you start reading the post...)
(This is a parody of one of the relatively famous incidents (scenes) of Mahabharata – wherein the Pandavas are being trained in archery by Guru Dhronacharya.)
Courtesy their lenient parents, the five affluent and audaciously intrepid Pandavas go to attend a clandestine National-level seminar on “Guerilla Warfare”, organised by the notorious gay demagogue Shiv Khera (SK of ‘You Can Kill’ fame).
SK: Welcome to this enervating and anomalous one hour seminar on how to kill people accurately with AK-47’s and launchers. Firstly, there would be a ‘bulls-eye’ simulation test for examining the ocular accuracy of budding tyros. So, let’s start with the magnanimous, naive Prince Yudhistir……
(A phlegmatic and taciturn launcher-trotting Yudhistir comes and stands besides the prurient SK who sensuously whacks Yudhistir’s butt.)
SK: Oops! Sorry for that inveterate gesture of mine. So Prince Yudhistir, tell me whether you can spot a person at that bunker?
Yudhistir: (giving a baffled and apathetic look) No man, I don’t see anyone there.
SK: Please consult an ophthalmologist. Ok, Prince Arjun you come next.
(A disheveled Arjun comes with an AK and stands beside SK, who repeats himself.)
SK: I apologise, PEACE. Prince Arjun, can you see a person at that bunker?
(Arjun incorrigibly shoots a guy down and leaves, and almost instantly an NDTV reporter and cameraman appear there shouting “News first!”)
SK: Incredible!!! Oh ‘Gourmet Prince’ Bhima, you are next.
(Repulsively, Prince Bhima tries but shoots down a plane and Al-Qaida frisks him away. Next, the loquacious Nakula tries circumspectly but shoots down a dog and a mob of antipathetic and cacophonic PETA supporters squash him close to sending his body for autopsy.)
SK: Unequivocally egregious!!!
(A congenitally neurotic Sahadev supersedes Nakula and tries his luck but his Uzi bullet ricochets off a vacillating metal plate and instantly kills martinet SK. Game Over.)
Hope u guys liked it....and yes...this is NOT my general style of writing...
