The guru sits meditating on the circular mud platform encircling the peepal tree.The forest is calm and beautiful as usual.
Shishya#1 and Shishya#2 come in search of the guru.
Shishya#1 and Shishya#2 stand in front of the guru and bow to the guru.
The guru opens his eyes and gives a mischievous smile.
Guru:-
What brings you here, shishyas ?
Shishya#1:-
Oh holy one! We need some clarifications for our doubts from you
Guru:-
What sort of clarifications ?
Shishya#1:-
The PURPOSE of our lives
Guru:-
This is a difficult one.
The guru gets up and walks aside.
Guru:-
What were you in previous lives ?
Shishya#1 and Shishya#2 :-
We were software engineers working in India.
Guru :-
I am shocked to know that almost 90% of my shishyas were SEs or Senior Software Engineers!Anyway, to answer ur questions, I need to STOOP down to YOUR LEVEL to answer these questions.
Shishya#1:-
Please do, Sir!
Guru:-
Have u seen the movie Matrix-2 in ur past life.
Shishya#2:-
Yes Oh holy one!
Guru:-
I'll quote Agent Smith.
The guru clones himself to 10 Gurus.
Guru:-
"It is purpose that created us.Purpose that connects us.Purpose that pulls us.That guides us.That drives us.It is purpose that defines us.Purpose that binds us."
Now did you guys understand ?
Shishya #1 :-
I didnt.I hated the Matrix 2 and 3.
The Guru tries to explain things in a different way.
Guru:-
You must have prepared several documents.....
Did you observe the heading like PURPOSE and SCOPE in your software specifications document ?
Shishya#1 :-
Yes Oh holy one!
Guru:-
God defines Purpose and Scope for humans.Then the next page is left INTENTIONALLY BLANK . You got to fill those up before you are out of scope. Did u Understand , my dear brain dead sishya?
Shishya #1 :-
Yes, oh learned one.
The shishya is satisfied with the explanations.
Guru :-
Okay, I think I should take bath in the holy Ganga river now.Please have some sweets inside my house. It is prepared by my sexy biwi , Gurupathni. She was a BPO executuive in her previous birth.
Both the Shishyas run happily inside the ashram while the Guru prepares for bath.
Mamesh,
ReplyDeleteAre these snippets of ur creative script writing? If so, I admire them. They might not be as humorous as the script of "Pulp Fiction", but they sure show you can conceptualize a conversation, which is indeed very tuff.
