its all been written down...

Duru was super pissed off. He had just learnt from the learned men the cause of such bad things happening in his life.
A couple of people, one of them his own grandfather, was writing everything down, literally controlling the proceedings.
Shaking with rage he stormed into the forest where the two of them were at their work.

"Wtf are you people doing?" asked Duru, "how can you script and control my life?
How can you write your own story? what kind of causality is this?"

Vyasa, suppressing a giggle looked at Ganesha who had been his able scribe for many a day.

Said Ganesha "We are just having a little fun ok? Being immortal is omg boring ok? This one time we could control stuff instead of Brahma and we took the best use of it ok?"

"At what cost?", Bellowed Duru. "Seriously man, I never wanted to be a baddie, agreed I was kind of greedy etc but most of the time it was like stuff happening by themselves. If everything is written down, whats the role of me? Am I supposed to make any decisions? The more I think about it, the more f-ed up i feel"

"Just chill", said Vyasa, "lifes not that bad ok? Imagine if we made you share your wife with 99 other people? you get to enjoy your prime in the palace and as king. And predictably you get screwed in the end by which time Pandavas are anyway old. Shouldn't you be happy?"

"But why all this war? Why should I try to disrobe another woman? why should I kill my own cousins?"

"see in order to teach values, there has to be a bad person ok? it cant be helped, why dont you go back and plot something wicked ok?"

"But if everything is pre-determined whats the point of everything? Is there any concept of charting your own course? This religion sucks"

"I think hes speaking too much, lets show him some pain", observed the wise Vyasa.

"Oh yeah? you want me to show you pain?" asked Duru, as he raised his mace to strike a blow on Ganesha

"U never understand do you?" said Vyasa, "Your part and parcel of Mahabharata, couldnt you figure out that this was also written?"

"And since Duru got provoked and misbehaved we have reason to screw him now ok?,
you were supposed to become a nice guy in the end and everyone lives happily ever after."
"Hey Vyas I got a really sexy climax ok?"
"Duru becomes a W.Indies cricket player?" quipped Vyasa."Or Himesh?"
"lol no no something more wicked. Duru is reborn as Sarkosy ok?"

"Dude please man, I quit I ll just go away now, and do what you want and go on and screw me", said Duru.

"aww, cry baby, k we ll remove this episode from the big story, you shall never know you are being "written"".

As Duru disappeared into thin air and teleported back to his mama's house,
Ganesha refilled the Ink in his tusk and opened a packet of little hearts biscuit.
"This is helluva fun ok?"
