GAJINI

Arjun - 3rd year engineering student
Parasuram - Arjun's grandfather
Time - 9:45 pm

Arjun was getting ready to go out.

Parsuram: Arjun,are you planning to go out?
Arjun: Yes grandpa.
Parasuram: What?Time is already 10 pm da.Where are you going at this time?
Arjun: I am going to Venki's house grand pa for group study. All my friends will assemble there at 10 pm.
Parasuram: Why are you going to Venki's house now? His parents are out of station,i guess.
Arjun: Yes.Only then we can study very well.
Parasuram: Arjun,your last semester results came today only.So you are going to start for next semester so soon?
Arjun: No grandpa.I got arrear in Maths-III for the third time,so going to work hard.
Parasuram: Very good da.I am really happy.Inform your dad and go.
Arjun: No No.Let him sleep.I will clear this paper this time.
Parasuram: Are you sure?
Arjun: Yes,i will try like Gajini Mohammad and succeed at last.I will not stop until i succeed like him

Oops,here our hero uttered some thing related to history not knowing that sentence stopped him
from going for "Group
studies “ .The very word of Gajini made his grand father,a retired history professor,to sit up and correct his grandson.

Parasuram: No Arjun.Dont degrade yourself by comparing with Gajini.
Arjun: Why grandpa?He is an inspiration to most of us for trying repeatedly even after facing continous defeats. I think he lost
some 17 battles but went on to fight with self confidence and won the 18th one.
Parasuram: No Arjun. Most of us think Gajini Mohammad as an hero and icon for self confidence. That was a framed story.
But history was different.Let me tell you who is Gajini and his blood shed murders on Indian people.

Since the converation was interesting,Arjun started to listen to his grand father.

Parasuram continues to his grand son(and of course to us)...

Gajini was a small country located some hundreds of kilometres south of Afghan.Mohamed was the son of the ruler of Gajini. Bedtime stories for most of the kids in other countries during that time was about India - India's wealth,culture.people and gold. So no wonder most of the foreighn rulers dream to rule India. But Mohammad's (Gajini Mohammad)dream was totally different.He want to loot as much of wealth as he can from India.

When he became the king of Gajini,he decided to invade India. The millenium 1000 AD started very badly for India.

Gajini invaded Punjab,defeated king Jayapal and looted tonnes and tonnes of gold from Punjab temples.

Arjun : Stop Grandpa. what did you said? Gajini defeated Punjab king? did he not succeeded in his very first attempt?

Parasuram continues..

Yes.Gajini succeeded in the very first attempt.Infact he was never defeated in all his 17 invasions. He could have very well ruled India but since his intention was only Indian wealth,he was satisfied with golds and other valuable things.Since then,it became habit for Gajini to invade every year and return to his country with enormous wealth.In his first attempt alone,he transported some 5 tonnes of gold.Imagine the amount he took away in his 17 invasions.

His 17th invasion was the most blood shed one in history.That time his target was Somnath temple of South

Gujarat. Somnath temple was one of the richest Indian temple during that time. A Siva lingam floating in air due to magnetic effect was the highlight of Somnath temple's construction.

When Gajini tried to enter the temple,to his surprise,around 30000 people resisted him. What happened after that was the most brutal mass murders in Indian history.Gajini's army fought with people and killed all of them. Yes,30000 Indians were killed in no time. The sea shore became red due to blood.

After packing as much of gold from the temple.Gajini's army returned to their country. Gajini was a psychopath mass murderer. Like stamp collection,his hobby was to collect fingers collection.He used to cut all the fingers from his enemy kings and save it like stamps.

Arjun was shocked to hear all these blood shed history.

Parasuram : But Gajini was very lucky to escape from Rajendra Chozhan who was very near to Somnath temple during that time.Rajendra .......

Arjun : Grandpa..Please.Already one round of studies would have been over.Please grand pa.Allow me to go and join atleast for the next "round".

Parasuram : Okay Grandson.Continue and I dont want to disturb your studies.Take care.

Arjun : Bye Grandpa.

Cool arun,

I have heard across ghajini as an Icon of self confidence. But it is a shock to know him as an crucial and cold blood murderer......

I could imagine your grandpa as Vishvanathan, the great director of "swarnakamalam" from telugu....

Expecting more from you from your grandpa's about rajendra cholan. Because sandilyan had missed out something about him..

But I request you to come out with an full fledge comedy script and you are much much more capable in doing that than anybody else....

ungalukkulara irukkara comediana kaari thuppunga....namakku herovellam vendanga... ;0)
