A story of 3 Idiots
Rancho and Farhan could have barely gulp it down their throat when Raju's mother came taunting "Gobi 12 ki ho gayi aur Bhindi 10 ki !" and the whole theatre explodes in laughter.Be it her making fuss of a meagre Rs 10 our be it her timing or be it her penury,she makes the audience laugh and that's it.
Ek Paralysed Baap
Mr. Ek Paralysed Baap was born a poor NtRI(Not to be respected Indian) in the heart of India,a village,somewhere in 60's.His father an another idiot and NtRI wasted his life for freedom struggle, leaving a dime and an independent India in his will when the other lot TRI(To be respected Indians) created fortunes in collaboration with entrepreneurs from Britain ,for their heirs along with an independent India.Nonetheless,Mr. Paralysed Baap or Engineer Raju ke Pittah(as he would be referred respectfully here onwards) joined village primary school where going by Chacha Nehru prophecy,his nephews were supposed to build a stronger India,a more powerful India.Couple of Years passed ,survival became a priority , school took a back seat and Enginner Raju ke Pittah became a Postman.Couple of months passed,he got married had his first child,a baby boy,and unknowingly made India stronger.Life went on for some more months and almighty cursed him with his next child,a baby girl.

Ek Khansti Hui Maa
By the time Mrs. Ek Khansti Hui Maa was born Chacha Nerhu was no more there to make India ,a stronger India,a more powerful India but nevertheless ,by that time, he had successfully implemented socialism among his NtRI nephews(all remained equally poor irrespective of their caste,creed,colour or religion) and Capitalism among his TRI nephews. Mrs. Engineer Raju ki Maa(as she would be referred respectfully here onwards) was like many other cursed souls, a burden at home and untouchable at school but she had that I-want-to-be-literate bug which not only fetched her a matric certificate but also a techers job in Chacha Nehru's primary school to make India,a stronger India,a powerful India.Later in life she got married to Mr. Sunte Ho as she would call him.Couple of months passed,they got blessed with a baby boy finally to be cursed with a baby girl.Still worse they decided continue to have a baby girl when whole of India was coming up with innovative ideas to get rid of them.Anyhow they started saving for their son's education and their daughter's marriage gift(Dowry is illegal in India) but as fate would have it,India shined much more than their savings.Gobi started selling at Rs 10 while Bhindi at Rs 10.Today she sits beside Raju ke Pittah,rubbibg his chest hair with 'belan' while dreaming of her daughter in Bridal Dress,a Rs 2000 saree gifted by Rancho and Farhan.
Ek Bin Byahi Behan
Kammo was born on some inauspicious day that nobody in family loves remembering.Like mother
like daughter,she too wanted to join Chacha Nehru's primary school to build a stronger
India,a powerful India but then India had started shining.Gobi started selling at Rs 12 a kg and Bhindi at Rs 10 a kg.She could either became literate our get married, with little or no deliberation her parents chose the latter.Stupid Kammo accepted her parents will and her fate.Visting nearby temples,fasting seven days a week and brooding over the fortunes of Revlon girls became her favourite pass-times.Meanwhile India started singing "Jai Ho!" and grooms started selling at a minimum of a Maruti800 that to if the bride was a Fair and Lovely Girl.India disapproves racism in any form;shame to bloody racist Australians.Now a days Kammo spends her time sitting on the front window,waiting for Farhan.
