[Curtain Lifts up. People are walking around aimlessly. Some singing Lucy in the Sky with the Diamond, some reciting Maharbharata, one carrying Dante’s Inferno]
Atmaram Tripathi, wearing Dhaka Topi and tattered Nepali Poshak enters.
Atmaram Tripathi: Friends and Foes hear me out. I have an announcement to make. I existed only in...
Bashu: Harvard! Harvard! Me!!
Anepaliketa: Excuse me, what is going on?
NK: I wanted to make something clear….
Bashu: (interrupting NK) Harvard!
ABP: Bashu is the best!
Sunagava: What the hell has that got to with everything that is not happening here?
ABP: I don’t know. I am new here. But he is the Harvard Man.
Anepaliketa: Phew! Something smells in here.
Bashu: (agitated) To whom are you calling stinky pooh? (he thrashes his arms around menacingly towards Anepaliketa.
[in this confusion Sunagava runs for cover. NK throws chairs at Bashu. Bashu throw yogurt (don’t ask me where it came from) at NK. Anepaliketa throws a killer punch at BP and Bashu…]
Sishow enters amidst this chaos. His white beard flowing gracefully.
Sishow: Hare Shiva. Ram Ram what is going on here?
Bashu: (wiping yogurt off his face) Sishow! I never thought you had such a distinguish beard man.
Sishow: (in a ‘gambhir mudra’) Wise people are supposed to have a beard. Look at Christ. OK Buddha did not have one but he had hair man. Piled on top. But anyway wise people….
Atmaram Tripathi: (Losing patience) But, I was saying I don’t exi……
[Before he could finish the curtain comes down]
Act II. Scene 1st.
G. Parasail walks in the center of the stage. Looks at ‘bebe’, rose, nothing, nobody and fulfills their needs accordingly. Changes the diaper, gives pacifier, feeds the bottle and goes into the far corner. Flops down on a rocking chair. Opens his ‘Playboy’ and starts to read in the dim light coming out of table lamp.
Act III. Scene 1
Trumpets. Beautiful sound of Cello emerging. The Supreme God walks in his majestic purple robe. Two angles hovering around sanGod's head.
sanGod: Enough. I say Enough. (walks briskly towards his massive keyboard). You are the first one to go.(he thunders)
NK: (meekly) But, what did I do dear god, SanGod? What was my ‘paap?’
SanGod: you talked too much. (and hits the delete key). Go to oblivioooonn!
NK: aaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhh….
SanGod: Turning to Anepaliketa You are next.
Anepaliketa: Me? (defiantly) What did I do? What was my fault?
SanGod: Witchcraft.
Anepaliketa: but, that was a long time ago. It is not fair.
SanGod: Doesn’t matter. Vamoose. Who says death is fair? (hits the ‘delete’)
SanGod: Hmmmm.. let’s see who is next? Yeah you Bashu!
Bashu: SanGod, my dear SanGod. We are buddies. Have you already forgotten? I am a smallGod.. what happened to Nepotism? I had been the know it all. I was doing so well. Why me? Why?
SanGod: Your fault? Your fault does not lie in pretending to know it all Dear Bashu, but in your …
Bashu: What , what?
SanGod: You talked too much of Harvard. My ear started to hurt. Painful. Go!
( with one stroke, Bashu joins all the others in Oblivion)
SanGod: Next. ABP.
ABP: Ok. Hey wait Bashu! I am coming. (before sanGod hit the ‘delete’ he is already gone)
SanGod: (turning to lone survivor). Sishow. My dear fella, it is your turn now.
Sishow: (bewildered) That is a surprise. Even for me. I had never had any impure thoughts. I always helped the neediest. I am a good student. A good friend….
SanGod: Exactly! That IS your problem. You are too much of a ‘goodie two shoes.’ Now go!
[the stage is quiet. Pin drop silence. The audience hears a whimper. ]
SanGod: Yo! Come out of that whole, Bagrawal. You are not going anywhere.
Bagrawal: I don’t believe you.
SanGod: It is Kaliyug. You will do ‘digbijaya’. You will rule the virtual kingdom and my man Paras will rule the Himalayan kingdom. Go. Conquer! Keep me posted.
Atmaram Tripathi: What about me? Please somebody clear my name. I never existed. It was the outcome of NK’s fertile imagination. Somebody help me.
[a distant voice of NK is heard.] He did not exist. For the last time, everybody he was a fictitious character. But mind you, not the issue…
The End

OK, that was pretty funny. :)
But don't pick on me! I am new here.
And I never said Bashu is the best. Ashu is the best.
Damn you, you cheeky bastard (or batardni), whoever you are!

Can somebody give me the low-down on who this NK person is? I need to get some dirt on him/her (just kidding). You know what, maybe you can make each one of us a character in the Mahabharat. That would really make it funny. Maybe someone knowledgeable (and obviously a stand-up comedian/enne like NK) can do it. As I found out recently, I actually know a few of you guys personally.

Hi all,
I am DELIGHTED, THRILLED and pleased as Mr. Punch to see that NK is NOW taking out her feelings in a humorous way, and NOT in ways that characterized that defense of her, well, muddled thoughts on globalization.
NK's present behaviour is an EXCELLENT example of how, when all else fails,
one can LEARN to use humor to manage one's own raw, reptilian emotions.
Way to go, NK!!
Having thoroughly enjoyed NK's THAT work of fiction on that Ramechap kid, I,
as a mere reader, am pleased to declare that this play is even better!!
Please keep your creative juices flowing, NK, and keep those juices flowing so much that let those juices totally flood this site . . .
I also took the initiative to forward this "play" to at least 20 of my friends from all over, including three book publisher friends in Nepal, India and New York.
I forwarded this thing for three reasons.
First, of course, to market, market and market this GBNC.org relentlessly.
Second, to share laughter and fun with others.
Third, of course, to let the 'globalized market', as it were, put a competitive price on NK's comedic talents. (NK, if you don't get a solicitous email from one of those publishers, then, perhaps you need to write more!)
Damn!!
That Ramechap story was a heart-warming piece of fiction.
This one is even better!!
You know, some people, like NK here, are so creative that you just have to
sit down and be in awe of their literary talents.

Dear All,
Thank you for your kind words. I am going to ignore not-so-kind words, anyway.
To Sunakhari: Well, it shouldt be better than the last one! I cooked that up in two minutes (i was really angry), but I took a whole half an hour to write this! And I was not angry at all. Maybe I should try this (being cool) every now and then, what do you say?
BP: you get 10 in the humor scale of 1 to 10. But, my so called play was based soley observing on the act of cast and characters', here in this board. But, please feel free to dig up dirt if you wish so :)
Mike Bhinaju: I am glad you have started to visit our beloved site. But as somebody pointed out a long time ago: "watch what you say, say what you see."
Ashu: My dear Ashu. What can I say, except my heartfelt gratitutde? But, I must say: maybe it was a bit premature to send this piece to all those janya sunya. I don't wanna be embarrassed you know. They must be thinking, "pathetic" shaking their humongous head, "what kind of garbage is this?" Anyway, again thankyou for taking some to read this nonsense.

In a Ramayan setting,
If Bashu was Ram
ABP would be Ram bhakta Hanuman

You know, guys, I don't really like Ashu that much. Now I am just starting to plain dislike him. Who does he think he is? Yudhisthir or something? Well, if he is, I would like to be Arjun, because he is a manly man. And me Hanuman? Thanks a lot Valmiki, for making me a primate. I would have to say that NK is the Duryodhan as of now in my book.

To tell you the truth, I think I am more like Yaklabya. Yes, that's it! I am Yaklabya from now on.

NK,
I think she would amazed by the usage of french in BP's(looks like there is a multiple of BPs) vocabulary or rather - the lack of.
My highly intellectual point of the day today :) - analysis of anepalikt's commentt.
There seems to be a wonderful mix of HIGHLY EDUCATED and HIGHLY INTELLIGENT women on this site. :).
Lets give ourselves a pat on the back girls/ladies/women (whichever phase you're at).

My highly intelligent point and I still can't write and spell LOL - no angrezi teachers out here I guess so what the heck!
Anyway please read that as: "she WAS amazed" and "comentt as comment!"

So NK is a lady! And she can satire with the best of them. My respects. So you cannot be Duryodhan. I am going to review my Ramayan and Mahabharat. Be right back.

Who is this G. Parasail, why SanGod does not delete him?
NK, why your play doesn't touch his existence?

Hahooguru asked:

This G. Parasail should have been Bagrawal or people like him who frequents this site. I don't know my computer did really weird thing when I was typing this. It just changed to that name from 'Bagrawal.'
As I said ,maybe you did not read it carefully (i am deeply disappointed), people like him make the news, make tons of money, people pay homage to in, yes, in kaliyug. Aren't we supposed to be living in this yug,right now?
And, HahooGuru, whose existence are you talking about? If you are a bit more clearerm, maybe I can be of some help?
