Bhagwaan's Love Letter (Part 2)

The story so far: Bhagwan, a 5th class student, has an IQ level in 2 digits. In a fit of emotion, he has written a love letter to his English teacher, Mrs Ramani. Mrs. Ramani has complained to the school authorities and a hearing is due with the Prinicipal the next day. Bhagwaan has prayed to both Amitabh Bachhan and Ganesha to help him in the crisis. He has a fitful night and is not able to sleep much..Now read on..


Bhagwan kept mumbling thru the night and could not sleep much at all. He kept having visions of a giant letter which kept swallowing him. In fact, in one dream, he actually saw Amitabh Bachhan standing in front of him, with a slight bow and saying "Ainh. Jiska ka koi nahin hota, uska khuda hai yaaro" (Editor's note: Amitabh actually repeated this in another film a few years later). That's when Bhagwaan decided to switch loyalties to Ganesha.



He woke up the next and walked to school, thinking of possible excuses.

1. I actually did not write the letter - someone copied my handwriting
2. It was supposed to be an April fool joke played in October
3. It was meant for someone else in my class but landed up in Mrs. Ramani's desk



He realized that none of them would work - the last one would actually make it worse given that it was a boy's only school. He trudged his way slowly to the Principal's office. Mr.Chandrahaas and Mrs. Ramani were already there with the Principal Mr.Ganguly. Bhagwaan could almost see Mr.Chandrahaas salivating - however Mrs. Ramani looked a bit worried and anxious.



Mr.Ganguly started off the proceeding and as was his wont without any preamble.

"We have gathered to discuss an accusation that Bhagwaan has sent a love letter to Mrs. Ramani - this is against the school rules. Bhagwaan - what do you have to say for yourself?"

Bhagwaan just kept his head down and thought of excuses but could not think of any - he decided to just pray to Ganesha.

Mr. Ganguly then spoke to Mrs. Ramani "Mrs. Ramani - you mentioned this boy had written you a love letter and in fact wanted to marry you. Do you have proof?"

Mrs. Ramani handed over a slip of letter to the Principal. Mr. Ganguly opened it up and this is what he saw






He was amazed and blurted "But Mrs. Ramani - now where do I see the words love and marry in this letter"
Mrs. Ramani (in an agitated state) said "Sir - it had the words love and marry but it is torn now"
Mr. Ganguly: "But Mrs. Ramani - how did this happen?"
Mrs. Ramani (wringing her hands): "I don't know - I had kept it very carefully in a cupboard but somehow a mouse seems to have come and eaten up the key words"
Mr.Ganguly: "Then there is no proof - we cannot punish the boy"
Mrs. Ramani: "Ask him Sir - its his handwriting. Ask him to deny it!!!!". She was almost shouting now in her agitation.
Mr. Ganguly: "Bhagwaan - tell the truth. Is that your handwriting?"
Bhagwaan (in a burst of inspiration): "Yes Sir - its mine but I actually had written 'Mrs. Ramani I admire you very much and I want to tell you'".

Mrs. Ramani snorted while Mr.Chandarahaas had a look of a boy who had his chocolate taken away from him.
Mr.Ganguly looked at the slip and said "Hmm..the words seem to fit. Mrs. Ramani - I cant punish the boy now - admiration is not a sin".
Mrs. Ramani (spluttering): "But but Sir.."
Mr.Ganguly: "Sorry Mrs. Ramani - you should not have allowed a mouse to eat the letter"
Mrs. Ramani: "I know Sir. I am wondering how a mouse managed to get inside a steel cupboard and tear away only the important words. It looks a divine intervention"

Divine Intervention - That's when it hit Bhagwaan. Of course, Ganesha had come to his rescue and sent his favourite mouse to help him out to eat the letter!!!

They all walked away from the room with different emotions - two disappointed and one very very happy and now a Ganesha fan.


So that's how Bhagwaan was saved and he never wrote a love letter again until he got engaged to Bhagyawaan but he always remained a fan of Ganesha.
