This craving for super power
continuously pestered his thoughts on Thursday night while Ajitabh was watching
movie Badshah on his personal laptop. After the movie, as he fell asleep; he
was still wondering of all the wonderful things that he would do, people he
would meet if only he had a superpower. His last thoughts before he fell to
sleep, after remembering his secret crush Anita, was a brief prayer to god to
grant him some super power.
Thus, there was nothing
remarkable about the dull, Friday morning when he woke up with a sharp start.
He was already late for his school bus so he hurriedly got ready and wished a
harried goodbye to his parents before dashing out of his home. It was then that
he realized that something was wrong and people were more naked than usual. Of
course having been brought up in an upscale locality, he was used to overweight
aunties trying to fit in clothes that Deepika Padukone used to wear in her
childhood, guys wearing trousers ten sizes too big for their butt which
incidentally is proudly flaunted with their red Jockey underwear, skimpily clad
gals trying to be next Rakhi Sawant and Sambhavna Seth. So coming back to the
point; he was used to all kind of skin showing in his locality but on this
particular day there was more than usual amount of skin. In fact people didn’t
seem to be wearing anything. “I was surprised that so many people were roaming
around buck naked and I thought to myself that perhaps today was some
particular occasion and these high class people are perhaps celebrating it”
says Ajitabh. Though soon he realized that something was wrong. “It was as if
nobody, even the most conservative of people, was feeling it odd seeing naked
people”. “It was almost as if I was the only one who was surprised by so many
butts and pe****s flowing around” says a still dazed Ajitabh.
But all the thoughts were
pushed out of his mind just when around the corner, he met his crush; Anita.
And he thought no more. At least not from his brain… he didn’t. Perhaps the
sword started the thinking process. And who could blame him at that moment when
he was witness to the nubile body of his wildest fantasies. These thoughts
carried him over to the school where he actually got a chance to meet his peers
for the first time in the new visions. “I was seeing everyone in a new light…
quite literally. Earlier I used to be intimidated by some guys. Now, with this
vision, I could see them for what, or how much, they actually were. I was
secretly glad with a comparatively assessment of the measurements and was sure
that I must be in the top 20 percentile of my age group”. The shock was yet to
come though.
“All was well until the
classes started. My first class was for history taken by a prehistoric being
who, we believed was teaching out of her personal experience as she must have
lived through most of the history, by the name of Mrs. Ghosh. It was quite a
shock for me to see my freckled, knotty, wrinkly skin septuagenarian without
any clothes. But what did it for me was the tattoo of butterfly on her generous
posterior. I mean even Matt Dillon got less of a shock watching Lin shaye
cnnage through his binoculars in ‘There’s something about Mary’” And the day
didn’t get any better after that. It was one incident after another as one
teacher with one peculiarities led to another teacher with some other form of peculiarities.
“Now I realized how Pavitra
Prabhakar must have felt helpless when his powers started to become a bane for
him. Now I am truly at loss at what to do now. I used to be a very outgoing
person, loved playing football and volleyball with my friends. But I am now
very afraid to even look at someone; what with things flying here and there. I
don’t even watch the recorded football matches for now I realize how much pain
was in those nut-kicking actions” reminisces a sad, close eyed Ajitabh. “I was
an ardent fan of the alternate version of the movie culture, and I used to
fervently support the people who because of no money were forced to act without
wearing any clothes, whose poverty forces them to work in compromising
positions. But this art used to be widely appreciated by a lot of clientele
including engineering students and pre-puberty age group who don’t get any
otherwise. But this power has now stripped (no pun intended) me of even these
basic joys of life” rues a dejected Ajitabh.
PS: If you haven't guessed it by now... This is a Spoof! I hope you enjoyed it
