SUNDAY BRUNCH FOR THE SOFTWARE PROFESSIONAL'S SOUL: A SPECIAL DISCOURSE ON RAMAYANA BY BILL GATES


LAN, LAN ago, in the SYSTEM of I/O-dhya, there ruled a PROCESSOR named DOS-rat. Once he EXECUTES a great sacrifice PROGRAM, after which his queens gave an OUTPUT of four SUNs -- RAM, LSIman, BUG-rat and SED-rughana.

RAM the eldest was a MICROCHIP with excellent MEMORY. His brothers, however, were only PERIPHERAL ICs. When RAM was only 16MB, he marries princess C ta.

Twelve years pass and DOS-rat decides to INSTALL RAM as his successor. However, Queen CIE/CAE (Kayegayee), who was once offered a boon by DOS-rat for a lifesaving HELP COMMAND, takes this opportunity at the instigation of her BIOSed maid and insists that her son Bug-rat be INSTALLED and that RAM be CUT-N-PASTED to the forest for 14 years.

At this cruel and unexpected demand, a SURGE passed through DOS-rat and he CRASHES like unstable version of AI MSN does in intel. RAM agrees to LOG INTO forest and C ta insists to LOGIN with him. LSI-man also resolves on LOGGING IN with his brother. The forest was the dwelling of SPARCnakha, the TRAN-SISTOR of RAW-van, PROCESSOR of LAN-ka. Attracted by RAM, she proposes that he should marry her. RAM, politely declines, perceiving C ta to be his SOURCE CODE.

She hastenes to kill her, but LSI-man cut her inportant PERIPHERALS. Weeping, SPARC-nakha flees to LAN-ka, where RAW-van, moved by TRAN-SIS TOR s plight, approaches his uncle MAR-icha. MAR-icha REPROGRAMES himself to form a golden stag and draws RAM deep into the forest. Finally, RAM shoots the deer, which, with his last breath, cries out for LSI-man in voice of RAM s SOUND CARD.

Fooled by this VIRTUAL RAM SOUND, C ta urges LSI-man to his brother's aid. Catching the opportunity, RAW-van DELINKS C ta from her LIBRARY and changes her ROOT DIRECTORY to LAN-ka.

———————————INTERVAL———————————————

RAM and LSI-man start SEARCHING for the missing C ta all over the forest. They make friendship with the forest SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR Akshat sorry… SU-greev and his powerful co-processor Ha-NEUMAN, who agrees to help RAM. SU-greev orders his PROGRAMMERS to use powerful SEARCH techniques learnt in CS130 to FIND the missing C ta. His PROGRAMMERS SEARCH all around the INTER-NETworked forests.

Many try to EXCITE the birds and animals, not to forget the WEBCRAWLERS (Insects) and also try to INFOSEEK something about C ta. Some of them even shout YAA-HOO, but they all end up with NO FOUND MESSAGES; Google, Lycos nothing was left untouched. The only thing they forgot was to mail iitcse01 and get PTI s help.

Ha-NEUMAN then devises a RISCy TECHNOLOGY and uses it to cross the seas at an astonishing CLOCK SPEED. Soon Ha-NEUMAN DOWNLOADS himself into LAN-ka. Ha-NEUMAN finds C ta under a brown - green (as Brahma will call it) TREE STRUCTURE. Ha-NEUMAN uses the LOGIN ID (ring) to identify himself to C ta. After DECRYPTING THE KEY, C ta asks him to send STATUS_OK MESSAGE to RAM.

Meanwhile, all raakshasa BUGS around C ta captur Ha-NEUMAN to DELETE him using everything including Ctrl-Alt-Del. But Ha-NEUMAN spreads chaos by spreading VIRUS Fire. Ha-NEUMAN presses ESCAPE from LAN-kaand and conveyed all the STATUS MESSAGES to RAM and SU-greev. RAW-wan decides to take RAM head-on. One of the RAW-wan's SUN almost DELETES LSI-man with a Brahma-astra.

But Ha-NEUMAN resorts to some ACTIVE-Xgradients and REFORMATTES LSI-man. RAM used the SOURCE CODE secrets of RAW-wan and wipes out RAW-wan's presence on earth.

Later, RAM gets INSTALLED in I/O-dhya and spreads his USER FRIENDLY PROGRAMS to all USERS, and everyone lives happily ever after, playing and enjoying AOE.
