What if..??

The question which has no answer is one that starts with a "what if ..". Why you ask ..? well simply because there is no end to the subsequent what if's that can be thrown at you once you start answering. Don't believe me ..? well can't blame ya .. the first time I realised this fact, I was certain this model or theory as I like to call it.. could not be sustained... but it has...

Let's try a fictional conversation..

Dad: ... and the prince and princess lived happily ever after..
Son: I didn't like the story.. tell me another...!!
Dad: Why didn't you like it ? I've grown up listening to this story...
Son: It feels wrong somehow, there are a lot many unanswered questions...
Dad: like..?
Son: The part where the prince kills the rakshasha seems wrong.. (observe) what if the rakshasha had special powers that made him invincible.
Dad: well.. for that he had to do tapasya and ask for a boon from the Gods and he had not.
Son: what if he had done tapasya and you didn't know about it..?
Dad: It is possible, but the prince would have known about it from his gupt suchaks and would have done a tapasya himself to ask for a boon for a power to kill rakshashas like him.
Son: what if he had done tapasya and the God's had told him that it would be unfair to the rakshasha who had come before him for the invincibility boon and that being a God he could not be unfair to anyone.
Dad: The prince could say that the God was being unfair to him and maybe went to a higher God to ask for the boon.
Son: what if the higher God was also on the rakshashas side because he had taken a boon from the higher God not to allow the prince to take such a boon.
Dad: He would have gone to the head God Indra and asked for justice
Son: what if the lower God convinced the Head God not to give the boon because then he would have to be unfair to the rakshasha and put the prince in jail
Dad: that is presposterous ...!! why would they do that . Lord Brahma would never allow that.
Son: what if they mixed sleeping potion in Lord Brahma's afternoon tea and while he would be sleeping put the prince in jail.
Dad: I give up.. what do you finally want ..??
Son: I think the story should have a different ending. what if the prince was locked up in the heaven jail. The God's order the princess to either goto jail or become a daasi. The rakshasha , who was secretly in love with the princess, on hearing her plight becomes enraged and attacks heaven. He kills all the evil God's, rescues the prince and the princess and brings them to earth.
Dad: and the prince and princess lives happily ever after ..??
Son: No .. I was thinking .. what if.. the princess owes rakshasha one and finds that in the events that had happened, the rakshasha was her knight in shining armour, the one she was waiting for, and she leaves the prince and goes with the rakshasha..
Dad: so the rakshasha and the princess live happily ever after ..??
Son: No .. what if the prince now says that the princess was originally his and she should marry him and challenges the rakshasha to a fight till death with the winner taking the princess. The princess and the rakshasha agrees .. Their fight goes on for 40 days and 40 nights in storms, winter cold, the summer heat and the torrential rain and finally the prince manages to kill the rakshasha...
Dad: so now finally the prince and princess live happily ever after ..?? ( the frustration beyon dhis control, his hair standing up and his eyes narrowed on the son)
Son: Yes ... but what if ...


( Dad jumps out of the window ...)

p.s. "what if's.." are not good for health (of others) , if you have to consume them due to unavoidable circumstances (like these) please consume in mild doses or if possible take a minimum break of 4 hrs between two doses. Too high a dose can be fatal. Keep away from children, hazardous for adults in the hands of children below 8 years. Class H(I/J.. whatever) drug. Manufactured by: Hell Pharmaceuticals. side effects low doses: baldness (from pulling out hair), wrinkles (on your forehead due to immense tension and frustration), choking ( on your food.. do not consume it while having food) side effects high doses : only end result ...


I started of with an intention to write something else and wrote something else and now that Ive written something else, I am not going to write again or delete this something else for something else. So please forgive me for writing this something else instead of something else that I was trying to write initially.
