DDLJ in limericks!!!

Yet another extremely silly post. The prospect of another 3-day weekend, coupled with some lighter workload in office, could be the possible reason behind such continued inanity.

So, sit back, give your brains some much needed rest, and enjoy... DDLJ in limericks!!!

*************************************************************************

We open with a shot of the strict father,

his grim set face indicating some bother,

And even as he feeds yet another dove,

you know he's gonna oppose beti's love,

that's something even a novice can gather!

We cut to Kajol chasing a moving train,

you think all her running will be in vain,

at the last minute, SRK gives her a hand,

a scene so magical, you search for the wand,

but why couldn't he simply pull the damn chain?

Look, there's Kajol in a sexy cocktail dress,

oh my god, my eyes pop, this one's backless!

and as they cruise across breathtaking Europe

in some corner of my mind, flickers a small hope

maybe this movie won't be such a boring mess!

But no, SRK hams on with his irritating "Senorita"

while Kajol acts as if she's the next Ramayan ki Sita!

Well, she does dance after having too much to drink

but even then all that my bored mind could think

was that sin theta by cos theta equals tan theta!

Next we see the hero baring his romantic heart

claiming to have been struck by a Cupid's dart

but the lady claims that she is her father's pet

and hence she'll marry a man she's never met

and on this tearful (snif) note, they both part...

"Bye bye dear, remember, don't you lose hope"

while the problem seems more than we can cope...

"C'mon now, gimme a cute smile, don't look so sad,

I'll come to India and convince your mom 'n dad"

But no, we won't take the easy way and elope...

Thus, we cut to Punjab, the land of fields so green,

Mehendi, songs, dance, the typical wedding scene,

All seems lost, till the hero arrives on the farm,

and wins over everybody, with his famous charm,

even the cobra of the dad is now dancing to his been!

But to win his girl, our hero puts up a fist-fight,

as if to show this lover boy also has some might,

ah, what relief, they show (finally!) "The End"!

I stagger out, "Howz the movie?" asks the friend,

I quip "Kajol in a towel, quite an exquisite sight!"

"When life throws up challenges that you can't cope,

remember one simple thing, there's always hope!

C'mon now, smile a little, don't look so sad,

I'll find a way to convince your mom and dad

else, my darling, why don't we just elope?

Just tweaked what would have turned into an inane senti personal post into this :)
