Raj was lazing around in front of his PC..cubicle..system..faint noises of keyboard typing..quite comfortable ac..no pressing work..its time to blog he thought.. He logged in ..kept a few other windows ready..just incase his boss drops in..and clicked on Manage Blogs..
He stared at the screen which said..Last Post dated Apil 24 2006..titled Enlightenment Through Prosperity..he was shocked..staring the screen in disbelief..for he never use such complex titles nor blog his philosophical insights..He tried hard to remember the last time he blogged..it was about his favourite tea in the neighbourhood cafe..
The first doubt he got was ..is this some prank of his buddies ?He couldnt wait to click and open the post..it was empty..he hoped to guess the culprit by its content ..but in vain..It was when he got a call from his wife when he remembered that he had to go home..
Web is no safe a place..he thought while driving ..just a few days back he was pushing this project to go web on customer feedback records..
Honey u r late again..his wife said in playful annoyance..Traffic dear..he replied lost in his own thoughts.."O really!!Thanks for enlightening me.."his wife remarked..
He exclaimed.."What???"
They went to a play..it was his wifes idea..He was always amused by her ideas..when all his friends go ga ga over some movie..she suggests a play....with the elderly audience and much elder intellectual air..The damn de bono model girl..he smiled to himself..and thought perhaps someday 'll be the collateral damage of her lateral thinking..
She didnt change a bit since i met her ..he thought..when the curtains rose depicting quite a charming lad in princely attire..He was facing an ugly man in rags..Suddenly the background 'Om' stopped .."Hmm quite enchanting " he thought when they heard "test" "1 ...2.....3..........mike testing........."
They couldnt help laughing.."Like u..plays ll be plays .." he whispered to his wife.."Hshh..Listen..."she scolded..
"I'll renounce these wordly belongings...I'll wander with u for the enlightenment" the prince thundered..
The old man started laughing..with torn clothes and ugly hair..he seemed mad in every aspect except for his sharp piercing eyes..
"You mad prince..renunciation is just another form of attachment" he started laughing again but suddenly stopped and said.."A man as weak as you who is afraid of his own prosperity can never get that far...by the way where is my food?"
"Priya..lets go.."Raj whispered
