Krishnaaa.... ! Raamaaaa.... ! Govindhaaaa.... !

One of the greatest epics that Indian mythology has produced is the Mahabharatha. It portrays every nook and corner of human character that still reflects in each and everyone of us. If we hear Mahabharatha apart from the valour of Arjuna and Bheema, the Dharma of Bheeshma, the friendship and generosity of Karna, the sacrifice by Gandhaari, the wicked Sakhuni and of course our Lord Krishna, the scene that instantly pops in our mind is Duchaadhana the brother of Duryodhana fiercely grabbing and removing the saree of Draupadi after the Pandavas losing their game of dice to the Kauravas. In a school, a teacher has planned to enact this scene for their stage drama. She selected two students Ramarajan and Kamarajan. Ramarajan plays Draupadi  and has been draped with Saree and Kamarajan is the fierce Duchaadhana. Kamarajan is bloody naughty from the time he has arrived in this world. So it makes sense right that the teacher has selected him for the character of Duchaadhana. So the teacher specifically warned Kamarajan that he should just act like he is removing the saree of Ramarajan and pull few meters of his saree. During the enact the Pandavas lost Draupadi in the game of dice and Duryodhana orders his beloved brother to drag Draupadi to the center stage and remove her clothes. The time has come and the scene of our Ramarajan and Kamarajan have arrived with grandeur. Our Draupadi  is in tears and is talking about the injustice happening but at the same time our Duchaadhana became too excited and started pulling Ramarajan's Saree. The thing is ... he didn't stop. Kamarajan became Duchaadhana and he started removing our Ramarajan's saree and did not even have a speck of thought that whether Ramarajan apart from his Saree wore something inside. If not he would been stripped naked or would have been standing with his undergarments in the stage in front of hundreds of people and will be screaming Krishna.... please help me without realising that his body parts are visible to the audience. But luckily our Draupadi was wearing shorts, so after our Duchaadhana with all his might stripped Ramarajan totally, he was standing in his shorts. Then our Draupadi screamed - "Ohhhh Krishnaaaaaaa, Govindaaaaaaaaaaaa pleaseee saaaave meee!!! even if you are not giving a Sareeee please atleastttt give me some Undergarmentsss or Shortsssssss oh Parandhaamaaaaa !!!

The audience roared with laughter and there was applause all around for the presence of mind that Ramarajan showed.

Kudos to Ramarajan our Tenali Raman.

PS : The Story is an hearsay and guess this actually happened. So the plot credit goes to wherever it happened, whoever was involved and whoever passed this on but here the writing credit entirely goes to me :)
