Greetings from Kailash!- Shiva Missing Durga
Greetings from Kailash!- Shiva Missing Durga
Devi Durga finally touched down on Prithvi in her lotus chariot and the devotees are all set to receive her, they are already dancing in trending welcoming styles…. When Devi Durga’s phone rang….
📞 Call 1: Day 1 – Arrival at Prithvi Lok
Shiva:
“Hey, Parvati… reached safely? Tell me honestly, do you already have bhog offers, or are the devotees still warming up?”
Durga (laughing):
“Safe and sound, Mahadev. Bhog offers? Please! The moment I stepped off the lion into the mandap, one aunty rolled forward offering five laddoos saying, ‘Lose some weight this time, Ma.’”
Shiva:
“Tell her, she should try carrying a Trishul in one hand and staying in same position for 9 days, she will understand why I insisted you to put some extra weight before heading to Prithvi lok.”
📞 Call 2: Day 3 – Saptami Prep
Shiva:
“So… kids are behaving? Kartikeya still being the Mr. Perfect? Is he flirting with the unmarried who visit the mandap? Keep a strict eye on the boy, Parvati”
Durga:
“Perfect, until he used my crown as a mirror for his hair. Ganesha is already on his mission modaks and is asking devotees if he can start the upcoming Ganesh Utsav Puja early.”
Shiva:
“And what about Lakshmi and Saraswati?”
Durga:
“Lakshmi is focused on determining who contributed the largest amount of Dakshina, and Saraswati is busy correcting mistakes of the students in their textbooks. Do you know all the board exam students are giving the maximum attention to your Saraswati to seek her blessings?”
Shiva:
“My girls always make me proud.”
📞 Call 3: Maha Ashtami Eve, Day 5
Shiva
“Parvati, I miss you. Kailash feels very silent. Nandi appears unenthusiastic as well.
Durga
“Oh? Is this not the same my lord who once spent three yugas in meditation?
Shiva
“That was before I had a wife who lights up the universe and Wi-Fi.”
Durga (with a smile)
“Oh no. How charming. I’ll bring you extra labra and khichuri. And maybe a dhaaki selfie?
Shiva
“Agree only if I also get a solo photo; don’t photobomb me with a lion this time.”
📞 Call 4: Navami Night on Day 9
Durga
“I’m tired, Mahadev. On a ten-day red carpet, I feel like a star. Ever since the sunrise, I have been grinning.
Shiva:
“You are, that’s why! The warrior queen, the rockstar mother, the ultimate goddess!
Durga:
“Mr. Neelkanth, this buttering won’t get you extra bhog.”
Shiva:
“Just trying to win ‘Husband of the Year’… you know, the divine edition,” said Shiva.
📞 Call 5: Dashami: It’s Time to Go Back
Durga:
“We’re heading back.” The children are depressed. At the immersion, everyone sobbed.
Shiva:
“Normative. Kailash celebrates while the rest of the world laments. Ganesha’s swing is fixed, your room is prepared, and I prepared your favorite saag.
Durga:
“You prepared food?”
Shiva:
“Well, Nandi was helpful. I mostly used the spatula to dance.
Durga:
“Don’t panic. I’m coming to take care of your heart and the mess. 💗

This was such a heartfelt and creative read! I loved the idea of Lord Shiva expressing his quiet longing for Durga—it made him feel so human and relatable. The emotional undercurrent in the story really pulled me in, and I could imagine him sitting on Kailash, lost in thought. The tone was tender, almost poetic, and it brought a fresh perspective to divine relationships. You gave mythology such a modern emotional twist without losing its depth. I smiled, I paused, I felt it. Thank you for this divine dose of storytelling!
This is such a perfect read to lighten and brighten up my boring evening “divinely”. As usual, awesome Samata.
I was in splits imagining Lord Shiva and Nandi creating a roaring mess while cooking Saag for Maa.
More than their convo, it was the mention of Modaks,Khichuri and Laddoos that caught my attention.After all we are foodies at heart!
This was a hilarious read! Glad to see Shivji is so caring that he made Maa put on weight that would carry her for the next 9 days! Enjoyed chuckling through this read! Innovative thought!

I am grinning from ear to ear, Samata. Shivji cooking saag for the ferocious Durga? Your write-ups are unique and the humour is amazing.You made the divine conscious of their weight and being on the red carpet!
Divine communication in the 21st century. I loved that telephone picture…what creative outburst!
This sounds different and enjoyable to read. Your way of writing makes everything lighthearted and awesome.
