There was once a big guy with a lot of heads. On a
particular day when the combined grey matter of all his heads were in resting
stage, he unceremoniously kidnapped a married woman and whisked her off to his
exotic land. He regretted his decision pretty soon. For he paid for it with all
his heads rolled off his proud and arrogant neck.
The once mighty Raavana is paying for it every year since. As
thousands of years later, people still find it entertaining to see his head
blasted off with crackers. Amidst festivities and distribution of sweets.
In the very same place as the festivities, thousands of
women are being whisked off unceremoniously every day. Putting even the mighty Raavava to shame! But the modern Raavana walks tall with his proud
and arrogant head still intact on his head. The wails of the outraged women
notwithstanding.
Wonder when these Raavanas will pay for their sins? Wonder
why this lopsided justice? Wonder…?
