A bridge Too Far - Brilliantly put it into words

The Lord surveyed the Ram Setu and said "Hanuman, how diligently and strenuously you and your vanara sena built this bridge several centuries back. It is remarkable that it has withstood the ravages of the climatic and geogra hical changes over centuries. It is indeed an ama!ing feat es ecially considering the fact that a bridge at Hyderabad built by "ammon using latest technology colla sed the other day even before they could stick the osters on its illars." Hanuman with all humility re lied "#ai Sri Ram, it is all because of your grace. $e %ust scribbled your name on the bricks and threw them in the sea and they held. &o steel from TIS'( or cement from )mbu%a or )'' was ever used. *ut Lord, why rake u the old issue now+" Ram s oke "$ell, Hanuman some eo le down there want to demolish the bridge and construct a canal. The contract involves lot of money and lot of money will be made. They will make money on demolition and make more money on construction. " Hanuman humbly bowed down and said "$hy not we go down and resent our case+". Ram said "Times have changed since we were down there. They will ask us to submit roof of age and we don,t have either a birth certificate or school leaving certificate. $e travelled mainly on foot and sometimes in bullock carts and so we don,t have a driving license either. )s far as the roof of address is concerned, the fact that I was born at )yodhya is itself under litigation for over half a century. If I go in a traditional attire with bow and arrow, the ordinary folks may recogni!e me but )r%un Singh may take me to be some tribal and, at the most, offer a seat at IIT under the reserved category for learning how to construct a bridge. )lso, a "od cannot walk in, dressed in a three- iece suit and announce his arrival. It would make even the devotees sus icious. So it is a dilemma so to say." "I can vouch for you by saying that I ersonally built the bridge." ".y dear, )n%ani utra, it will not work. They will ask you to roduce the Layout lan, The /ro%ect details, ) roved /lans, .unici al *uilding /ermit,01cavation /ermit, the contractor who built it including financial outlay and how the ro%ect cost was met and the com letion certificate. )nd who inaugurated it+ &othing is acce ted by these eo le without documentary evidence in India . 2ou may cough but unless a doctor certifies it, you have no cough. ) ensioner may resent himself ersonally but the authorities do not take it as roof. He has to roduce a life-certificate to rove that he is alive. It is that com licated."33 3 "Lord, I can,t understand these historians. (ver the years you have given darshan once every hundred years to saints like Surdas, Tulsidas, Saint Thyagara%a, #ayadeva, *hadrachala Ramdas and even Sant Tukaram and still they disbelieve your e1istence and say Ramayana is a myth. The only o tion,I see, is to re-enact Ramayana on earth and set the government records straight once for all." The Lord smiled. "It isn,t that easy today. Ravan is a rehensive that he may look like a saint in front of today,s oliticians. I also s oke to his mama .areecha, who a eared as a golden

deer to tem t Sita maiyya when I was in the forest and he said that he won,t take a chance of ste ing on earth as long as Salman 4han is around."
