Big Belly Brains vs. Peacock Poses: A Divine Laugh Riot
Big Belly Brains vs. Peacock Poses: A Divine Laugh Riot
One sunny morning on Mount Kailash, Ganesha was sitting comfortably, happily clearing off a mountain of modaks. Just then, Kartikeya dived in on his flashy peacock. The way the peacock feathers were shimmering looked like a Bollywood hero’s entry scene.
Kartikeya
“Again, with the modaks, big belly Gannu Bhai?” Kartikeya teased, tickling with a feather. “Oh! Gannu Bhai, do you know I just finished defeating three asuras before having breakfast? And here you are… all busy in reducing the Modak Mountain heights!”
Ganesha
Ganesha patted his belly proudly. “Bhai Kartikey, these modaks are just like your asuras. And trust me, they’re much tastier than yours.”
Kartikeya
Kartikeya rolled his eyes and bent his muscles. “Look at these arms! Even Ravana would get jealous. Mother says I look like a movie star. And I am planning to visit Hollywood this monsoon and meet some Directors for their upcoming action movies. They are keen to cast me.”
Ganesha
“Movie star? Hollywood Films!!!!!!!!” Ganesha burst out laughing. “Bhai, not a star but more like a gym trainer who forgot leg day! My fans prefer brains and charm, not just biceps. Are you as charming as I?….. Kartikye Bhai? :; “
Kartikeya
“Charm? You mean that elephant head charm?” Kartikeya teased, blinking his eyes.
Ganesha
Ganesha smiled. “At least my head is big enough to hold real wisdom, not just hot air to fly.”
Kartikeya gasped, secretly feeling a tiny pinch of jealousy. He looked at Ganesha’s modaks for some time.
Ganesha
“Don’t stare so hard, on my modaks Bhai. It seems like you’ll drill a hole in them!” Ganesha said, sliding a modak toward him.
Kartikeya
Kartikeya grabbed it quickly. “Fine! Just one. Only to prove I can control my cravings.” He took a bite and instantly his eyes twinkled. “Oh wow… Mother was right. These are really so divine. Absolute Manmohan Modak”
Ganesha
Ganesha smiled. “Ah, the great warrior finally surrenders… to sweetness!”
Kartikeya
Kartikeya stuck out his tongue. “Wait till I tell Mother you’re spoiling me.”
Ganesha
Ganesha threw an arm around him. “Go ahead. Ma will give me extra modaks for being so loving and caring towards you.”
The brothers burst into laughter, hugging each other tightly — one secretly jealous of the sweets, the other secretly admiring the muscles. Above them, Parvati smiled, shaking her head at her perfectly imperfect sons.

The back-and-forth between Ganesha and Kartikeya was hilariously gold! It was not only funny but also super creative. I could totally picture the modaks, the flexing muscles, and those Hollywood aspirations. Honestly, this divine roast was just the kind of thing that brightens the day, making mythology feel so relatable, it’s like bringing ancient tales right into our modern lives!
Such a cute and heartwarming story! It brought a smile with every line.
So cute! Sibling love with modaks. I could do with an authentic Maharashtrian one. They are so yummy. But we need both brain and muscle power, a bit of both brothers on Earth.
This was such a fun and heartwarming read! I couldn’t stop smiling at the sibling banter between Ganesha and Kartikeya. Love how you blend mythology with humor so effortlessly.
Ohhh I was soooo eagerly waiting for this pair to be in your stories… And here they are. They absolutely are amazing.
This sibling banter reminded me of my childhood how we try to outshine and talk about our good will
What a heartening story to read…enjoyed it a lot!
This was a funny conversation between the siblings. The movie star part reminded me of the times when there used to be Hrithik Roshan lookalike Kartik idols.
Glad to know that the sibling banter up there is similar to the kind we have with our siblings. Love the tales your imagination is churning out. Reading them never fails to bring a smile to my face.
I love your creativity. And this banter is so perfectly executed..love it!
This was such a fun read. Felt like two real brothers teasing each other, with lots of love in between. Ganesha’s comebacks had me smiling, and the ending was just too sweet. Loved it.
I knew I wa sin for a treat when I read the post was about Ganesh and Kartikeya, lot of sibling rivalry and fun and banter. You made good use of this premise , I was so amused by the hollywood offers and the missing leg day banter.
This reminded me of every sibling roast session—equal parts chaos, love, and low-key jealousy. Ganesha and Kartikeya are basically all of us fighting over food and flexes. Adorable!
How sweet this was, modak sweet! I agree with Ganesha, modaks are truly divine. Sibling banter is always fun, whether it’s human or divine.
What a divine roast between Ganesha and Kartikeya. This is pure comedy gold! I could vividly picture Gannu Bhai devouring modaks and Kartikeya doing his grand Bollywood-style peacock entrance; it’s myth with a hilarious modern twist.
Real funny. Your stories always leaves me with a smile
Absolutely adored this divine sibling roast, Ganesha’s modak wisdom and Kartikeya’s peacock-poses make mythology feel like a warm, modern chat over coffee. It’s humour with heart!!
Such a fun sibling roast, Samata. I loved how Ganesha’s and Kartikeya’s playful banter about brains vs. brawn feels so relatable and heartwarming—like watching ancient tales turned into a cozy, lighthearted chat. Superb creativity girl. Keep these coming!!
This banter is hilarious! On a side note, you know what, North Indians don’t consider Kartik thakur to be Ganesha’s bhai and I always have an argument with my husband and he never believes it!
This was a fun enjoyable read. As usual love your weave of words in the divine world
Another hilarious post this time on the conversation between two siblings! 😀 Love it.
This was such a fun read! I laughed out loud at the clever comparisons. It reminded me not to take spirituality—or myself—too seriously. Loved the light-hearted wisdom throughout!
