Ramayan

Ramayana as told by an ABCD...(American Born Confused Desi)

---

So, like this huge dude had, like, a big cool kingdom and the people really liked him. But, like, his step-mom, or something, was kind-of-a pain 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 DUDE, the forest was reeeeaaaall scary shit... 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 (sita) and lures her away to his hood. ANd boy, was our man, and also his bro, Lakshman, got 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... dude, don't ask me how they trained the damn monkeys... just go along with me, ok... so, Ram, Laksh, 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 kind of boring, you know... no TV or mall or shit like that. So, they decided to hitch a ride back home... and when the people realize that, like, 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 him 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 priitttty cool... you know with all those fireworks... really, they even had some local musicians play along with the fireworks... and you know, what, dude, that was the very first, I kid you not, that was the very first music-synkronized fireworks... you know, like the 4th of July stuff, but just, more cooler and stuff, you know... And, so dude, THAT was how, like, this festival started. Diwali rocks, maaannn.
