Lord Shiva wants to be the King of good times (satire)

Lord Shiva knew that he was old-fashioned. Watching the antics of people on innumerable TV channels, he had realized that he was out of sync with the world of today. In his cave in Mount Kailash, he had for company his small family and a number of attendants. But, in his heart of hearts, he wanted to be the King of good times and live life King size.
‘I think you are worried,’ Durga broke the silence. ‘Want to share your thoughts?’
‘I was watching the antics of this character who believes that he is the King of good times. He has an impressive personality but, I feel sorry for him.’
‘The world is full of such characters,’ Durga said. ‘Remember that other guy who minted millions from the cricket field.’
‘Yes. He also lived life King-size – he had his own plane. Like this new gentleman. I believe he owns an airline and loves to have calendars with photos of selected beauties.’

‘That is not new’ Durga pouted her lips. ‘Here in our world also we have many apsaras like Rambha and Menoka and there is always a rush to win them over. It is human nature. You should not read much into these alliances.’
‘Alliances?’
‘Yes, it keeps happening in the tinsel world. The heroes keep changing their wives. It seems they just are not satisfied with what they get.’
‘I see,’ Shiva muttered. ‘That is why they have coined that phrase ‘yeh dil maange more’ - applicable from cold drinks to cold wife!’
‘Believe it or not, cricket is a great equalizer – it is a wonderful fixing agent,’ Durga said. ‘It brings people close so that everyone can enjoy the good times.’
‘Then why should the ringleaders try to go into hiding?’
‘That happens when you bite more than you can chew.’
‘And – those who were once with you feel cheated and embarrassed and try to wriggle out of partnerships.'
‘But, they’ll keep coming back in one form or the other, Durga reminded. ‘They are the descendants of the Asuras – they are masters of disguise and keep changing their forms to fool the people. They are always up to some trick or the other and cannot be taken at face value. (to be continued …)
