The far reaching effects of Merrill Lynch being lynched: I have to write the story differently now! This making my job difficult. Damn... the US financial crisis has changed my story line!! But that would be the next post....
So for now, here is Modern Ramayan Part - 2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sita felt that the e-mails were taking her nowhere. She immediately mailed Ram her phone number and asked him to take some responsibility and call her up. On the other side of the globe, when Ram read her e-mail early in the morning and dialed her number immediately. He too was anxious to know Sita better. When they spoke, Sita realised that Ram was even more crazy that she thought he was. He told her that he wanted to teach his kids Ramayan and at that she burst out laughing and said "I would like to see that day". "Oh you will" he said.
But Sita was in a soup again! As per the norms of an arranged marriage, Sita should not have given Ram her number on her own. He should have requested his mother to ask Sita's mother to forward her phone number. Yeah, even in 2008 people follow these dumb rules! It was time again for Sita to think "If mom knows this...."! So madam seeks Ram's protection. She tells him "Hey, I cannot tell mom that I spoke to you. So can you please ask your mom to ask my mom my phone number." And dutifully, after speaking to Sita, Ram mails Kaushalya just as Sita had asked him to.
Sita always thought that Ram was too busy to call her. So she found a way out - missed calls! She gave missed calls every other day. And like a darling he called her back. And when she worked all night in the lab, they would mail each other throughout the night. Thus two months passed as though they were in Chitrakoot. And finally they decided that it was time to meet. He got the dates for his visa stamping. They would meet in ten days. They were elated and happiness had no boundaries. Kaushalya (Ram's mother) called Sita, so she could talk to her. Sita was so happy. Ram was happy too. She mailed Sita telling her that he had never been so eager to travel 18 hours before. He had taken enough troubles to get a date for his visa. appointment The visa office specifically asks for a cheque from HDFC bank. Which obviously was a problem for him. So he asked his cousin brother to do it for him. And when he spoke to his cousins, uncles and aunts, all he spoke of was Sita!
What they didn't realize was that Chitrakoot was not for a life time.
Soon Ravan was to enter their lives.
