BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

This is a story of a Long ago there lived a well-known

businessman Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani living in Indian. When he was rich, he adopted six
child girls in a scheme of ‘save girl child - ’ named as Jayalalitha, Mayavati, Soniya,
Umabharati, Vasundhara, and Raabdi Devi. In an economic slow-down he lost all his wealth
and reached below poverty line . Out of all adopted girl child, five of whom were very
selfish. The youngest was called Raabdi as she was sweet and lovely.

The five sisters were very lazy and complained most of the time
and were blaming each other in every election. It was Beauty who did all the housework and
she used to take care of her father by thieving ‘chara’ from buffalos. 

There came a pleasant message for the merchant one day from
Mr. Narendra Modi. The message said that one of his MoU is approved by GOG in Vibrant
Gujarat Summit and also all kinds of riches had come to Kandala port. 

Telephone Conversation between Mr. Modi and Mr. Ambani….

Modi : ‘Hello…Main Gujarat no naath ‘Modi’ Bolu chhu…’

Dhirubhai : ‘Ha bolo Narendrabhai…’

Modi : ‘Kya hua…Sarkaar ne aapko Slowly Slow down me dobo diya ??’

Dhirubhai : ‘Yes, motabhai….pls. show me a way to come out of this poverty line now’

Modi : ‘I hv approved your MoU to set up a refinery in Jamnagar and lots of treasury is
waiting for you at Kandla port’ 

The five sisters asked their father Mr. Ambani to leave immediately and meet Mr. Modi to
sign MoU in the Vibrant Gujarat Summit and also get them entire treasury (jewels) from
kandla port. The little Raabdi wanted her father to get just a rose. Kissing his daughters,
the father left with high hopes.

After traveling for one and a half hour by his Jet Plane, Mr.
Ambani came to know that the pilot has not filled the petrol enough as all Reliance
petroleum has gone into heavy losses and petrol pumps were shut off at morning…. 

And he had to lend his Jet in emergency. Then again he received call from Mr. Modi saying
that pirates have sunk his ship and looted all treasuries. 

Dejected, he started searching as where he has landed actually !!!!!!!!!! 

Guess…he has landed in ‘Lalu Nagri’ – Bihar… But he was little worried as he has to go
back home with nothing to gift his daughters. As he was traveling, a terrible people with
guns came and looted him and he lost his way in the forest. Hot and hungry, he saw a huge
castle, which looked like a home of very wealthy. Very tired, he went towards the castle.

Finding no one in the castle, Dhirubhai went inside it. He was

happy to see a comfortable chair and as he was very tired he set to chill. He also had meal
of Undhiyu, Jalebi, Dhokla and a chilled ‘Chhaas’ (Buttermilk). He also saw a fire blazing in
the fireplace. After a hearty meal, Dhirubhai felt sleepy. He got into the bedroom and fell
asleep on a large and comfortable bed.
Dhirubhai awoke the next morning and walked into the castle garden. Amongst lovely
flowers he spotted a beautiful rose bush. He was reminded of his daughter Rabdi’s wish. As
he broke off a lovely rose to gift her daughter, he heard a terrifying noise. He looked up and
found an ugly man with the face of a beast (like buffalo).

The beast ‘Lalu’ shouted, ‘Are you repaying for the food and shelter by taking a prize rose?
You are very fraud businessman; I know you are ‘ek-lo-ek muft’ wala businessman.

He further said to Dhirubhai, “Hamar saath dhokha mat karna, hum tumra ‘bhajiya’ nahi
khaye hai…hum to chaara…khaye hai…tab ja ke ye bangla-gaadi mila hai…samje kaa…

Sasura hum ko buddhu banata hai…chal bhaag yahan se…”

Dhirubhai pleaded and replied, “Please forgive me. I shall repay in the best way I can. I am
ready for the settlement as I used to do with my cell phone customers  pls. let me know
how would u like to do the settlement”

Lallu said, “Take the treasuries from me and go to your home. But send one of your
daughters to keep the house for me. If you fail to send, you shall die” , warned the Lallu.

Dhirubhai took the gifts, thanked the Beast (Lallu) and left for his home by train. Ofcourse
the ticket was arranged by Lallu. But during journey, Dhirubhai was thinking that ‘how will I
tell my daughters about my business failure?’And about my meeting with the Beast (Lallu)?’
he was worried on his way home.

He loved his daughters very much and was not willing to send anyone to live in Lallu’s
castle. He thought he would definitely die. He reached home and told the story to his
daughters. Rabdi loved her father very much and offered to go to live with Lallu in his
castle.

Though initially Beauty (Rabdi) was frightened of the Beast, she found him
to be very kind. He arranged for Rabdi a lovely room in a train that she could overlooked the
forest and ‘Bhed-Bakriya’ also. He offered her lovely clothes and stayed out of her way so
that Rabdi would feel free.

One day, in the garden, Lallu expressed his love for her and his intentions of getting married
to her.

Lallu said, ‘Rabdi sunti ho ka..’

Rabdi : ‘Hanji…boliye’

Lallu : ‘Hamar manva men ek baat kitne dino se ghumri khayat rahat…sochta hu..aaj
manva khol du’

Rabdi : ‘Kaa hua…ye dulari (Buffalo name) dudh kam deve hai yahi chinta hain na aapko !’

Lallu : ‘Sasuri dulari ki baat naahi hai, ye to tumri baat hai…hu tumse Byah rachaana chahat
hai…tum hamre man ko bahu bhaa gayi ho’

In a gently tone, Rabdi told him that he was very kind. Since her father needed her, she will
not be able to marry her.

In her magic lamp, she saw her father was ill & crying and so
she was desperate to get back home. A special train pass arranged in going home and
coming back safely was given to her, by the Beast (Lallu).

Lallu said her, ‘Jaldi vapas aana, nahito sasura mera mara huva muh dekhegi tu…’

Do come back within a week. Or I shall die, the Beast (Lallu) said to Beauty (Rabdi).

Happy on seeing Rabdi, her father recovered fast. The sisters wanted her to stay back to do
the housework. Two weeks passed. One night Rabdi had a dream that Lallu died. In tears,
she hurriedly packed her things, kissed her father good-bye and was back at the castle with
the help of the special train pass.

Not finding the Lallu in the house, Beauty went to the garden (Hoping that probably he
would be eating chaara ). Yes, She found him eating his last food and lying on the grass,
nearly dead. On seeing Rabdi, he got up and told her he had starved himself, as he could
not live without her.

Rabdi said, You may be ugly, but you are kind and gentle. That is very important to me. You
should not die. I love you and will marry you.
And in background suddenly Shaharukh’s voice is heard, ‘Jis cheez ko pure dilse chaho, uss
cheez ko milane mein puri kaaynaath lag jaati hai ’

A miracle followed. The Lallu changed into a handsome youngman. Rabdi could not believe
her eyes. He kissed her and narrated how a wicked witch cast a spell over him, changing
him into a Beast, until a beautiful young girl promised to marry him.

The new Shahrukh look beast married beauty-Rabdi and there was great joy in whole Bihar.
