Say No To Feast!?

Say No To Feast!?

That day, we were in total involvement; still, how come the idea of asking for feast from Chowktananda Tripathi occurred!?, beyond words. On the birth of daughter, we all colleagues forced the miser Chowktananda ji to throw party.

"No need!", struck my mind


The feeling of "No Need" was needed to be followed!? However, the feast day arrived. The venue was the weirdest place, ever known to the weird ones may be! Chowktananda ji had arranged the feast in temple, situated on an elevated area. The elevated area seemed to be a cut off portion of a higher mountain. Extremely steep in structure. Had ladder but, steps were like drawers of a closet; invisible to eyes.

Chowktananda ji, miser since his birth, was waiting for us on the top.

"How will we reach there?", I asked myself.


We went near the foot of the mountain. About to trek the mountain piece...the steps came out automatically to support our climb to top!

"Strange!!!", murmured among ourselves.

Whatever, initially we accepted it as an adventurous picnic but, eventually realized the invitation was a trick cum lifetime lesson.


Stay tuned!

Anyhow reached the top! We were asked to wait for the gong strike. There was a huge gong, hanging down from one of the old banyan tree's branches

"What???", actually I ever start feeling hungry, hearing the word "feast"!


My face got pale, pale color was short lived; must say, because the storm, with the arrival of a giant Hanumana; blew my mind! The giant creature with an iron hammer in right hand, decorated with iron nails; stepped forward to strike the gong. Its hand, holding the weird hammer, was moving like the fastest fan with the sharpest blades.

Seeing such scene, stupid me thought of escaping. I rolled down to the edge of the mountain. Head started reeling, when looked down. This time the steps of the ladder lost the sensor. Kept getting opened and shut like somersault by an octopus.


I thought of doing bungee jumping & list my name in Guiness Book Of World Records but, had to wake up on morning alarm with a lifetime lesson of not attending any parties, thrown by a miser.

Was a trick of not asking for feasts further, till Chowktananda ji's last breath

Ba-Bye all of you!
