This is how an ABCD ( American Born Confused Desi) would describe Dipawali.
_________________________________________________
'Diwali' re-told by an American Born Confused Desi
(ABCD)...
If a young second generation Indian in the US, were
to explain the
significance of Diwali to his younger brother, this
is how he might go about it...
So, like this dude had, like, a big cool kingdom and
people liked him. But,
like, his step-mom, or something' was kind of a
bitch, and she forced her
husband to, like, send this cool-dude, he was Ram,
to some national forest
or something... Since he was going, for like,
something like more than 10
years or so.. he decided to get his wife and his bro
along... you know... so
that they could all chill out together.
But hey, the forest was reeeeal scaryshit... really
man... they had monkeys
and devils and shit like that. But this dude, Ram,
kicked ass with darts and
bows and arrows... so it was fine. But then some bad
gangsta boys, some jerk
called Ravan, picks up his babe and takes her away
to his hood. And boy, was
our man, and also his bro, pissed... And you DON'T
piss this son-of-a-gun
cuz, he just kicks ass and like..., all the gods
were with him.. So anyways,
you don't mess with gods.
So, Ram and his bro get an army of monkeys.. man,
don't ask me how they
trained the damn monkeys... just go along with me,
ok... so, Ram, his bro
and their monkeys whip this gangsta's ass in his own
hood. Anyways, by this
time, their time's up in the forest. And anyways ..
it gets kinda boring,
you know... no TV or malls or shit like that.
So, they decided to hitch a ride back home... and
when the people realized
that our dude, his bro and the wife are back home..
they thought, well, you
know, at least they deserve something nice... and
they didn't have any bars
or clubs in those days... so they couldn't take them
out for a drink, so
they, like, decided to smoke and shit... and since
they also had some lamps,
they lit the lamps also ... so it was pretty cooool
... you know with all
those fireworks ....really, they even had some local
band play along with
the fireworks.. and you know, what, man, that was
the very first, no
kidding.., that was the very first
music-synchronized fireworks... you know,
like the 4th of July stuff, but just, more cooler
and stuff, you know.
And, so man, THAT was how, like, this festival
started.
PRETTY NEAT, EH?!!!!
