Sanjaya Uvaacha. Part - 1

Guys , I think you will be able to understand yourself better if you try to understand your ancestors. No, No,..... i'm not asking for another research on monkeys. Lets get to the time of BhagavatGeeta. Kurukshetra is all set for the "Great Indian Cousins Challenge". On oneside ( the left side) stood The Kouravas facing the pandavas (standing on the north side ). Both ready to fight and kill each other.

And in his Luxurious Palace sat, Dhritarashtra, blind, both visually and willingly mentally too. Yes, ofcourse he was worried about all his 100 sons fighting the pandavas. But how could he get those updates on the war that is happening arround 53.4 KM from his palace. Star News..!!! No. ! Sanjaya. Yes, it was through sanjaya that he was going to get the latest updates on GICC. Though my knowledge of BhagavatGeeta is very limited, I have always wondered about two characters in it. First one obviously The Great Karnan. But the second one rather surprisingly was Sanjaya. The phrase "Sanjaya Uvaacha" always used to echo in my brain.. (chummaathane... enthu thonnyavasavum ezhuthamennanu.. echoed inside his brain.. hmmm)

One very interesting thing about Geeta is that it is entirely written as being told by Sanjaya to Dhritarashtra. Now being an employee of the Dhritarashtra, whether the words Sanjaya would be telling was actually what Dhritarashtra would have liked to hear is a very subjective question. But then there were hardly any incidents that happened during those 18 days that Mr D would have liked to hear. oh...by the way "Dhritarashtra" is a very lengthy word and it is very difficult to remember the spelling so Dhritarashtra a.k.a Mr D. Think about a man who had to tell a father that all his 100 sons died in a battle and he could in no way glorify their deaths. Sanjaya is a character to be studied.

Now coming back to Sanjaya Uvaacha, Mr D blindly trusted Sanjaya. That is Mr D was blind and he trusted Sanjaya. You know what ,... for a man, quoting another testimonial, "Full of Crap Fundas which are very irritating all the times" this would be the best possible thing. So I'm assuming a virtual Mr D who blindly trusts (Sanjaya). A Mr D who can ask anything under the sun be it a very silly question ya a very philosophical one but always will be satisfied with the answer Sanjaya is giving and will never be telling stop these crap fundas coz it is he who wants those answers.

Lets get to our correspondent, live from Dhritarashtra's Palace.

Dhritaraashtra Uvaacha: (Translated from Sanskrit).

"Sanjaya... In this confused world of sorrow and glory, of achievement and happiness, of suppression and expression,
of the elite and the ordinary, of nouns and verbs, of image making and faking, of reputation and relations, of silent violence and violent silence, Why does Superman wear his Chaddi over his pants..?"

Sanjaya Uvaacha : ( Sanjaya knows english)

" Oh My Lord, ...
May be as a child he was very poor, could never wear a chaddi, his friends made fun of him, and now that he is superman he wants to show everyone that he doeas wear a chaddi.
OR
May be , If Superman thinks like me, his chaddi would be of VIP, might be mehengier than his pants and so...
OR
May be zip was not invented at that time, My Lord... Poor Superman."

Dhritarashtra Uvaacha :
" wa wa .. Sanjaya.. wa wa..., btw, talking about zips, Why don't we fit a zip at the back of the pants too?"

Sanjaya Uvaacha :
"Prabho..... Necessity is the mother of all Inventions"
