Lord Shiva loves and enjoys dancing (satire)

It was time for the telly and Lord Shiva, like any other addict of the idiot box, was watching a dance program of children. He loves dancing – not only his tandaba dance but other dances as well. Durga sat beside him. ‘It is nice to see kids learn dancing so early in life,’ Shiva said. ‘Some of these kids are hardly five or six year old.’
‘Yes,’ Durga sighed. ‘They are getting trained on how to make others dance to their tunes. When they come of age, they’ll turn into stars of the big screen.’

‘Catch them young seems to be the message,’ Shiva said.
‘Yes,’ Durga agreed. ‘The world is tough and early grooming ensures for them a better future. Their parents go to any length to see their kids appear on these shows.’
‘What about their studies?’
‘Who worries about studies if they can mint money by virtue of their skills in dancing?’
‘You must not forget singing also,’ Shiva reminded. ‘If you ask me, the kids should go in for singing or mimicry rather than dancing.’
‘Why?’
‘Well – a dancer minus beauty would not get any place,’ Shiva said.
‘But –they are so sweet and beautiful.’
‘Will that last for another twenty years?’
Durga laughed.
‘My dear Lord,’ she said. ‘Keeping them beautiful is the work of experts. And – there is no shortage of beauticians and stylists. Once these kids make the grade on this platform, they need not look back.’
‘But they may put on weight and become ugly. They will then lose their market value.’
Durga laughed again.
‘That will never happen,’ she said. ‘They will have sponsors running after them with teams of beauticians and stylists and, loads of offers.’
‘Fine,’ Shiva was not convinced. ‘How many dancers can climb on the bandwagon?’
‘Plenty. The number of movies being made runs into thousands if you consider the number of languages. And – dance is a common factor. The really good dancers become stars, the others become the crowds.’
‘Do you think RUM could teach them a thing or two?’
‘Ram?’ Durga was surprised. ‘He was no dancer.’
‘I know. I am talking about RUM – the combination of Rambha, Urvashi and Menoka.’
‘Oh,’ Durga grinned. ‘Why don’t you ask them yourself?’
‘I will – when they come next time.’ (to be continued …)
