Hindu deities reimagined as IT professionals in a comedic retelling of the Ganesh Chaturthi myth. Ganesha becomes a lazy bug-fixer guarding the house like a firewall, Shiva is an IT Terminator, and the climax involves a race across the universe for an Apple iPhone.
Chapters
Lord Ganesha, he is a very very interesting guy. He comes in different shapes, sizes, colors, brands, and even his own vehicle, that is, mouse motorbike. In fact, there are 108 forms of Lord Ganesha. Vadasimhivinayaga, Shaktivinayaga, Nrishtivinayaga, so many forms of Ganesha. Recently, we saw the 109th form of Lord Ganesha, IT Ganesha. Lord Ganesha is exactly like an IT engineer. He's a very knowledgeable guy. He's got a huge head full of intelligence and wisdom. He's also a very lazy kind of guy. He does not move around and exercise huge bit, and he has got a mouse in front of him.
Mushikababu.
And what is his job, you may ask? His job is to remove obstacles, fix defects, and all that kind of stuff. He's basically a supporter today. And despite all the money and wisdom he has got, he's single forever. And we have our IT Ganesha in every house. In every house, he's worshipped first and also expects to be worshipped first. In fact, he, he is the reason that most of us are here today. IT Ganesha's blessings. Ladies and gentlemen, Any guesses who I'm referring to? Anyways, jokes apart, it is Ganesh Chaturthi event, and let us not let it go incomplete without seeing the story of how our IT Ganesha gets his elephant head.
She's singing the whole thing, right? Yeah, yeah.
Once upon a time in a metropolis There lived a woman who managed the babies and the baking, cooking and the cleaning, fighting and struggling, chores and the tides, family and friends, fun and frolic. Such big laundry list of things to do, household and the rest. She was a natural multitasking operating system.
And so she was.
And so one fine day, amidst the juggling between many tasks, in one of her hobby lobby moments, our IT Shakti creates a boy out of a 3D paste. I mean, in our story, it's a 3D print. And since she was Shakti and was full of Shakti, like all our Shaktis in the world are expected to have, she breathed life into the print. And the toy in the print becomes a boy in a boy. And then the relationship begins between the mom and the boy. Parvati Devi was very happy to have someone to guard her. She at once assigns a task to our IT Ganesha, an IT security job basically.
Anyways, Muthra, can you please guard the house while I'm in shower?
Yes, Simba, I will be a firewall that will deny access to any intruder in the premises.
IT Ganesha, being a fresher, more than willingly accepted the job. Parvati Devi, confident on Ganesha, gathered all of her bath and bodywork supplies and headed to shore.
All my bath and bodywork supplies.
While it has been a while, that IT Shiva, Parvati's husband, who had gone on Mission Impossible assignment, he returned home. Mission Impossible? By the way, let me explain what IT Shiva does for a living. IT Shiva is into destruction, destruction of anything evil, including all the viruses and protecting the world network. He is the IT Terminator. When people ask him what he does for a living, he says, I'm into destruction. People say, you mean construction? Shiva will clarify, no, it's destruction. Construction, it's my colleague IT Brahma's job. So wait, wait, I think I hear sounds. Looks like Shiva's back to work.
Who are you, man? Only I see a snake instead of an ID card around your neck.
By the way, how did you breeze into the premises without swiping a card?
Any activity is against the policies.
ID card, ah? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Who are you all? I am Parvati's son.
Parvati's what?
Parvati's son.
S-O-N, son. Son. Son. Son.
Parvati's what?
I've been out for not even a day and all this happens? Parvati does not even tell me all these things these days. What's going on here?
Hey, hey, hey, listen, sir. Do you have any meeting coming up? Let me see if she has you in her calendar. By the way, you still have to wait to meet her as she is taking bath.
Shiva is getting frustrated and furious. Ganesha remains stern and stubborn. Shiva's multiple attempts to gain access gets denied. Finally, Shiva orders his followers to fight Ganesha. The first call is from the Earth to Falcon Asia. Dear team, you guys have been on bench for rather too long. Those are Y2K-like project owning you all.
We need you immediately to handle the project.
The entire Earth comes to Falcon Asia. Ganesha meets Shakti meets the earth. The entire earth gets shattered and guess what?
Parvati is still in shower.
Next, the Saptarishis, full of wisdom, take a diplomatic approach and approach Ganesha to talk him out of this. But in vain. Ganesha, being a blind Amma follower— no, I didn't mean Jayalatha, guys. Anyway, Ganesha being a blind Amma follower refuses to budge.
I don't know what you guys are talking about. I don't even know you guys. I'm not sure I can't let you guys in.
At this point, Lord Indra, who's looking at all this from heaven, he feels like the US government. Oh, there's a big problem there. That's not my business, but still, I think I should go there. I think I should intervene for the sake of world peace. So he comes down.
He is coming.
I mean, Lord Indra is coming. Lord Indra comes along with all his entire army. Nobody called him, but still he comes down with his battle team and all the weapons known to God-kind. He fights this little kid. Ganesha defeats the Indra army too. You guys are right. Parvati is still in shower with her favorite bath and bodywork supplies. Earth is shattered, heaven is shattered, everyone has come, whoever has to come possibly has come except Parvati. At this point we are left with only Shiva and Ganesha. They are facing each other, one-on-one meeting. When Shiva is furious, you know what he does? Well, he himself doesn't know what he does. So he does this angry dance which is called Rudra Spandava. Two hands in the air, two feet in the air, and then ladies and gentlemen, one deep moment of no self-pity.
Control.
Shiva holds whatever he finds handy, nothing but a server blade, across that saki, chops the boy's head off. Only science everywhere, but bhagati no way, guys. Now the paddle in action.
That's it. It's fun. This time.
Shiva managed to fight without the trishul though. Anyways, see, ladies and gentlemen, what all happens when women take so much time in shower. So we have an episode too, and we will be—
My pranams to you, Shiva, and my pranams to you, Amma, and so are my salutes to the little ones.
So, Narayana, what brings you here?
Ma, I have come to offer you a special.
Can I get any guesses from the audience?
Yes, to my IT Shiva, Here I am to offer you a very special Apple iPhone. Whoever gets this will have lots of knowledge and wisdom.
Apple iPhone, show me!
I want it!
I want it! You deserve it!
But I want it!
I want to play Fortnite on it, get wins, bro!
Even me! I want to get 1000 dubs! Oh my God, that'll be so fun!
Oh my God, I want to watch YouTube on it!
Fight me!
I'm gonna watch YouTube video. Ah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna get the phone for sure. Even me.
Yes, guys, guys, guys, stop it.
Okay, my sons, here is a fair deal. In order to get access to the Apple iPhone, you need to work a little harder first. You need to participate in a race. I want each of you to run across the universe. 3 times and return to Kailashan. Whoever wins this race and reaches Kailashan first will get the password to unlock the Apple iPhone.
Hahaha!
I have a peacock as my vehicle and this can fly and hence more mileage than your muskaran. And I'm sure to go around and around and around and return back to Kailashan faster to open the device. Ganesha, my brother, you need to upgrade your mouse to a better option and version. I wonder how that mousepad can help you win that race.
Hahaha.
Not wasting time, I need to go at once because I can't wait to play games on that iPhone.
So the peacock dances to show I also love to play Fortnite on the app on iPhone, but me and my Mishka— Wait a minute, my dear brother, I will show you the power of the mouse. Please come now. Here, just let me connect to the computer. Okay, here.
Narayana, Narayana, Ganesh, what are you doing? Start Google Maps. Open starting point, Kailasham.
Destination, Kailasham.
Mode of transport mouse. Oh, you can do that? Oh my God, it's going to take you hours to take rounds. Your brother will definitely do it faster than you. Oh, I see traffic on the route your brother's traveling. Do something fast, Ganesha. Use your knowledge.
Think about something.
The race has started.
Come on, you can do it. Just wait and watch, Narada uncle. I just connected my mouse to the computer. Once System is now starting.
Okay, Narayana, Narayana.
Hmm, the total time it takes me is definitely more. No way I'll be able to breed my brother, or no way my mask can come from that peacock. So I need to use my wisdom to get a better option. I got an idea.
And what is it, IT Ganesha?
Maa and Pitaji to meet my parents of the world. So going around you all is equivalent to going around the entire world. Also, Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati are the first couple and the universe was created by them. So I justify my action.
Um, sorry, I understand him really. Oh my God, uh, can I also watch while you're playing with the iPhone? I mean, I'm not going to see.
Yeah, so Parvati and Shiva pleased with Ganesha's wisdom, Narada surprised with the use of Google Maps, and Muruga obviously disappointed with the results, wants to have a fair
