The Power of Dance


The Plot

These are turbulent times. There are calamities all across the word. Flood, droughts, typhoons have become a daily thing.

It is said that India is a very old civilization and all answers can be found in the Vedas (The Google of the ancient world). After reading the Vedas, American scientists have come to the conclusion that "Whenever lord Shiva dances - Tandav, ‘Mahapralay’ occurs."

Top notch scientist, negotiators and CIA agents have been commissioned by the White House to ask to Shiva to stop dancing as its causing destruction.


The Story

This special troupe arrived in India in Shiva’s lookout. They visited many famous temples, spoke to many Rishis and found that Shiva can be found only in the remotest peak of the Himalayas. Now, they then must take the difficult trek, pass the risky terrain to meet the Presidents orders.

The Epic

The group, being specially trained for this task, started their trek to the Himalayas from Nepal. It took 108 days and the team finally reached Shiva’s abode.
There they were greeted by a very hot Parvati who was playing fetch with her pet tiger.
"Hello Kids. I got an update on WhatsApp that you are on a mission to talk to Shiva. I must say you guys are brave to have taken this difficult path. Help yourself to some ‘somras’. Make yourself comfortable in those caves. Don’t worry they are well furnished.”

The team which was freezing till now suddenly felt relived after having the warm liquid. Weirdly it tasted as Vodka. They had seen the Indian hospitality across the country and were amazed that even the Gods believed in it.
The group rested for the night in the cave and was entertained with good food and wine served by hostesses called ‘Apsaras’.

The next day, they met Parvati and asked for Shiva. Smiling, Parvati commanded Siri on her iPhone to call Shiv.
A dashing dude with shoulder length braided locks and multiple tattoos appeared in front of them. The head scientist whispered to the other “See I told you, the Floo powder and from Harry Potter stories is true. That explains how he appeared out of thin air.”

A very irritated Shiva looked weary and exhausted. Still being polite, he took a sip of his Gatorade and said “Look dude, I know what you are here for and I can’t do it. I can’t give up dance”

The Negotiator, doing his job said “But your dancing is causing catastrophes across the world. Can’t you do this much for world peace?”

“Nope, I can’t give up my practice. I need to improve. I want to be the best.” said an adamant Shiva.

“But why My lord? The world already knows you are the best dancer.” Pitched in Parvati.

“No. I can’t give it up. ” sulked Shiva.

“Why?” asked everyone unanimously.

Shyly Shiva replied “Coz I want to take part in Dance India Dance and want Grand Master Mithun to give grand salute and say Kya baat, Kya baat, Kya baat!!!”
