The Kailasa Couch Conversations
The Kailasa Couch Conversations
Swagat ha to the Kailasa Living Room. We can see Lord Shiva busy sipping herbal tea, while Ganesha is seen browsing his cosmic recipe app. On the other hand, for Kartikeya, we can see him pacing with a Bluetooth headset. It seems the Techno world made its presence felt in Kailasa…
Kartikeya (to headset):
“Yes, the war strategy looks fine — but who added mango shake to the weapons list? Who utter worst or unique idea was it?”
Shiva (laughing):
“Beta, modern problems need the intervention of modern refreshments. Refreshments and that too of great quality can stop half the war scenario in the world and embrace peace.”
Ganesha:
“Honestly, Baba (Shiva) mango shake could be a great distraction method. Who would fight when mangoes are involved? Its sweetness is enough to turn brotherhood more tempting than being enemies.”
Shiva:
“Exactly! Even Ravana, my greatest devotee, would have paused to sip this drink. Who knows, if he had done that, perhaps Ramayana would have never happened.”
Kartikeya (rolls eyes):
“You two are impossible. I’m talking war strategy here, and you both are planning for a divine picnic.”
Ganesha (smiling):
“Well, between my love for food and your love for war, there should be someone to bring balance. Like Baba here — sitting in the middle, meditating on how to balance, two very different sons.”
Shiva:
“Balance is an overrated term, my child. What’s underrated is silence. See I’m not getting it today for my meditation.”
Kartikeya:
“Baba, you gave me a peacock that calls at sunrise and him a mouse that moves in and around the kitchen. Now tell me who’s the one disturbing your peace the most? Is that me, and Ganesha or our Bahanas (Vehicle)?”
Ganesha:
“Well Bhai, your question is very appropriate. Baba tell us who is disturbing the most.”
Shiva (sipping tea):
“My dear boys… let me share a practical truth: whether flying a peacock or managing mouse logistics, life’s essence lies in doing your dharma without drama.”
Kartikeya:
“I fight with the demons to protect Kailasha.”
Ganesha:
“I remove the obstacles in life.”
Shiva:
“I try to meditate.”
Kartikeya:
“…And then Mom asks you to do household chores.”
Ganesha:
“…Which you delegate to Nandi.”
Shiva (shrugs):
“Delegation is divine leadership.”
Kartikeya (murmuring):
“If I delegated during the war, then for sure would become the dinner for the asuras.”
Ganesha (smirking):
“Relax, Bhaiya. If at all that happens, your Chota Bhai is there to remove all obstacles in your life.”
Shiva: (with a smile)
” When my two sons Kartikeye and Ganesha are together… I know the world is protected from all bad and negative vibes and Kailash is also in safe hands.”
In the divine family also there is a need for the perfect blend of humor, practicality, and parental patience. Even gods need to juggle work, family, and unsolicited advice.
