RAMAYANA

Now let’s see how it is when Ramayana repeats in a call centre.
SceneI
Ramalingam is a brave, intelligent Brahmin south Indian from Tiruvanandapuram. Lately with lot of difficulty he learned to speak English. Though his mother tongue happily wavered in between his English, he managed to speak and was very happy when he 'gaut ye jaab in ye koll centar'.
Like for everyone pre-process training was the honeymoon period, it was the same for him too, from singing the la-la-la intonation practice to watching “Friends” on TV to get used to yu-ess english. The rolling of 'R's and stressing of 'S' was even more fun.
Scene II
It was His fifth day in pre - process training and he saw a stunning beauty just like his dream “pennu”. Tall, lean, fair, big eyes and so so beautiful. But she didnot appear to notice him or his few friends, and they all always felt she always watched each one.

Her name was Seeta oops no, her name was Linda. Linda was most s**iest among all the trainees and all male trainees (married, committed,single and ditched) were trying their luck. Ramalingam concluded she was his dream girl and his destiny.

She was single (: D) and this was feastful for all male peers. Yes she was. Or may be she had lied like every beautiful girl does so that there are few more men to propose her and the next time she meets her friends she can brag about the number of guys behind her!!. So Ramalingam (hence forth referred to as Ram) tried all his best to be her friend. He accompanied her to cafeteria and helped her with lime tea and biscuits everyday. He sponsored dinner and everything she took from the bakery. He even bought her goodies on Saturdays and took her to movies( and only he spent)

Linda also was comfortable with him people didn’t suspect her to go around with an ordinary looking guy. But our Ram assumed that even she liked him as he does. He gifted her gold ring worth 7k with the 9k salary he got after his first salary. As a result he had to borrow money from home to survive that month. Linda was very happy(Obviously...)They lived happily until they hit the floor.

Scene III
Ryan was a hunk and was a very good looking guy watching Linda from the time she was in training. Ryan helped Linda a lot on calls and they gradually became friends. Then they started partying and going out and eventually Linda forgot her blissful past with Ram.

Ram was in great depression and could not concentrate on work. He loved to be in solitude, now he spent more time at home listening to music in his old walkman (!!!!!) or went to the nearest bar, drunk over and found on the roadsides often. Or the worser…. he was at work.

Meanwhile he didn’t observe his hair had grown longer than Linda’s hair and had grown a rough beard which he never had.

SceneIV
Suddenly he saw a new place called "affinity" in forum and had his hair straightened and colored. A bright brown hair color to his fair skin was an added advantage and his light beard was simply superb.

And in the nearby sale bought few Jerseys and T shirt and jackets and rags. He matched them all to look better. Spent huge money to do tattoos on all visible parts of the body and pierced his ears, eyebrows and tongue for better results. Now when he saw himself in Mirror, he could not believe it was him. (Though his “Amma” came from Tiruvanandapuram and gave a 300 pages lecture for what he has done with his looks!!)
He came to office everyday now, because he observed a lot more girls looking at him. He was the guy with all modesty and was “The Hottest" among all men.

Ryan is no longer with Linda now because the company hired more good looking girls! More over he envies Ram for having so many girls behind. But Ram still would love to be with Linda though she left the company and the city having been betrayed by RAWAN (oops Ryan)...
