Hilarious Musings of Lord Rama in Vaigundam on the issue of the Setu Bridge* * ***A bridge Too Far----Brilliantly put it in words* * *The Lord surveyed the Ram Setu and said " Hanuman, how diligently and strenuously you and your vanara sena built this bridge several centuries back. It is remarkable that it has withstood the ravages of the climatic and geographical changes over centuries. It is indeed an amazing feat especially considering the fact that a bridge at Hyderabad built by Gammon using latest technology collapsed the other day even before they could stick the posters on its pillars. " * **** *Hanuman with all humility replied " Jai Sri Ram, it is all because of your grace. We just scribbled your name on the bricks and threw them in the sea and they held. No steel from TISCO or cement from India Cements or Ambuja or ACC was ever used. But Lord, why rake up the old issue now? " ** * **** *Ram spoke " Well, Hanuman some people (in Tamilnadu) down there want to demolish the bridge and construct a canal. The contract involves lots of money and lot of money will be made. They will make money on demolition and make more money on construction. " ** * **** *Hanuman humbly bowed down and said " Why not we go down and present our case? " .** * **** *Ram said " Times have changed since we were down there. They will ask us to submit proof of age and we don't have either a birth certificate or school leaving certificate. We traveled mainly on foot and sometimes in bullock carts and so we don't have a driving license either. As far as the proof of address is concerned, the fact that I was born at Ayodhya is itself under litigation for over half a century. If I go in a traditional attire with bow and arrow, the ordinary folks may recognize me but Arjun Singh or Kapil Sibal or Diggy Singh may take me to be some tribal and, at the most, offer a seat at IIT under the reserved category for learning how to construct a bridge. Also, a God cannot walk in, dressed in a three-piece suit and announce his arrival. It would make even the devotees suspicious. So it is a dilemma so to say. " ** * **** * " I can vouch for you by saying that I personally built the bridge. " ** * **** * " My dear, Anjani putra, it will not work. They will ask you to produce the Layout plan, The Project details, Approved Plans, Municipal Building Permit,Excavation Permit, Environmental clearance, the contractor who built it including financial outlay and how the project cost was met and the completion certificate. And what if Karuna asks for our Engg Degree ? And who inaugurated it(if it was by , it's ok)? Nothing is accepted by these UPA people without documentary evidence in India . You may cough but unless a doctor certifies it, you have no cough. A pensioner may present himself personally but the authorities do not take it as proof. He has to produce a life-certificate from a corrupt Govt servant to prove that he is alive. It is that complicated. " ** * **** * " Lord, I can't understand these historians. Over the years you have given darshan once every hundred years to saints like Surdas, Tulsidas, Saint Thyagaraja, Jayadeva, Bhadrachala Ramdas and even Sant Tukaram and still they disbelieve your existence and say Ramayana is a myth. The only option,I see, is to re-enact Ramayana on earth and set the government records straight once for all. " ** * **** *The Lord smiled. " It isn't that easy today. Ravan is apprehensive that he may look like a saint in front of today's UPA politicians. I also spoke to his mama Mareecha, who appeared as a golden deer to tempt Sita maiyya when I was in the forest and he said that he won't take a chance of stepping on earth as long as Salman Khan is around.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Manish, This was such a cool forward. Everybody should take it in the humorous vein. And I think every point was brilliant and hilarious at the same time.
