SWAYAMVARA-de ‘Inverse’ one...

(not produced by Ekta kapoor!!!)

It’s raining n raining n raining. The room temperature is too soothing that I find it hard to rise. Well Soorya is already smiling from the east. Long have I been planning to delay his morning rush...hmmm...twice I tried unscrewing the wheels of that chariot...bribed his driver...nothing ever worked. Hmmm...and that meant...Mom’s gonna let me sleep only till the sunrays hit my butts...ooo...sorry...a prince has to have better control over his tongue...oh you boneless thing...hold yourself.

Well with due respect to the Readers’ Protection Act (RPA), here i reveal who i am.

Well I am Prince Vaimukya...the younger son of The lord of Vishathapura. Dad...passed the RPA weeks back, “Every reader has his/her rights to understand what he/she is reading”. Well he is a genius...no no not ‘coz he’s my dad.

Well today is the d-day...it’s my ‘inverse swayamvara’. Puzzled...? Don’t worry...the whole world is...at this moment. Never before has the term ‘inverse swayamvara’ echoed in any kingdom on earth. Told you right?...dad’s a genius...!!!

The prettiest damsels from every nook of the globe will be here...today...n I...Prince Vaimukya will choose...my bride.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....

NAAARADAAAAAAAA...what r ye doing here...how many times should I repeat...?? There’s a door over there that u can knock...

Narada: Ooo...sorry prince...too much is the care that I have for ye...how can poor narada prevent himself from rushing to the aid of the handsome prince.
Prince: Oh well...good...what’s the hot news...??? And hey if it’s evil...im not gonna leave you this time...get ready for a septorhinoplasty...I hear that Sushrutha’s grand grand son has already graduated.

Narada: No no prince...i’m here with a piece of golden advice...

Prince: Yeah the last advice you bestowed me with cost me the girl i loved.

Narada: Ooo...Pricess Shudhika from the neighbourhood??? C’MON i saved u my prince. Did you hear? She married...last week...she flooded the rostrum with her tears...when her parents said bye...and the new groom was all smiling.

I hear now that the situation reversed...the husband is now weeping n the princess “tee-hee”

Prince: oo...k...What’s it now...?

Narada: This time i’m wise...prince...You are about to select your soul mate...I sneaked through the applications. All look good...but don’t you fall in for the beauty...some are fair....but don’t trust that too...roses do have thorns but that doesn’t mean amanitas aren’t toxic...

Prince: So u r telling both...i shouldn’t be lured by beauty...neither should i fall in for modesty and simplicity. Tell me oh sage...what should i go for?

Narada: LUCK...!!! Yes prince...never can you trust your vision...not even the senses are reliable...Just imagine, it's the first night and the pretty English rose says she ain't a virgin??

Prince: Hmm...i'm a liberal...you see...

Narada: Ha ha...really sure...?? I was telling about "YOUR" first night...n 'your' wife...
Prince: Hmmm...it's hard to imagine...but...
Narada: That's it...anyone can bluff till stuffs happen in their own lives...!!! This is why i said...it’s just LUCK...

Prince: Well...i won't divorce her anyway...what if her heart is pure? But...true I’ll have to bear the pain...still...

Narada: Marriage is a lucky draw...o prince...sometimes the ticket you pick is the lucky one...you hit the lucky draw...else it remains in your pocket as a worthless piece of paper...

Prince: o...ooo...now you've lit the lamp of perplexity in my brain...come with me then o farsighted sage...help me choose the best...

Vigneswara...hope everything goes well...DAAD...I'm ready...

Queen: Oh! Handsome prince...wishing you the very best...

Dad: (ha ha...so my son's gonna land up in the same dungeon i fell into years back...god save him) Good luck son...

Narada: (invisible) Prince, check her out...that's princess Lakshana...

Prince: Aaha...i've seen her before...at the Chandrotsava last month...hmmm...long hair...nice saree...chubby cheeks...cute smile...

Narada: She dances...she sings...hmmm...she's a woman of letters too...

Prince: ooo Narada...this is my girl...the one i've been waiting for...ages have i spent waiting...miles have i tread searching...

Narada: That dialogue was used when u met Shudhika...

Prince: How dare you remind me of her again...you good for nothing sage...ready to face my vengeance??

Narada: oh no prince...i'm sorry...hmmm i think this 'is' the girl...!!!

What followed was a biiiiig faaaat wedding....the biggest one ever held...

Did the prince get lucky??

NAARAYANA NAARAYANA...
