Thanks for reading the story. Glad you enjoyed it. I did read your story in the morning and I made comments. Best of luck for the contest. The way people here are building tall stories, the twin towers in Kuala Lumpur (reportedly the tallestin the world with n number of stories ) may have to give up their fame to one of the sulekha people !!

Tall tale indeed! The plight of a God at the hands of his woman is no different from that of an ordinary mortal haha. Simply loved your spin. All the best for the contest.
Btw, I have posted a tall tale too - Tall Justice.

Melody

The Treasure in the Backyard

Oh...btw that proverb had me smiling :)) It liek the kannada saying "Hithala gida maddala" (The herb in the backyard isn't considered medicine")

Hey! THat's a nice one...I love the way you convert all these mythological stories in modern day versions. Great way to teach little kids!! Good luck for the entry and thanks for directing me here.

Thank you very much for reading the story. Glad you liked it . Regards

There is an old Prahlada story - The owner of the theatre company  plays the father. One of his employees plays Prahlada. The owner has not paid the salaries to the employees. The climax scene starts. Father asks Prahlad (showing a pillar (sthamba) ) : Is your God here?. Prahlad says yes. Aftr showing severalothr  pillars , Father shows the pillar in which NArasimha is hding and asks Prhalada whether his God is in the pillar. . Prahlada says NO .  .. .After several NOs, the owner gives the employee his salasry and then only NArasimha comes out !  (In kannada it sounds better)

haha!
Mr Vishnu,

That was a tall tale alright...... seriously, who'll believe you?
Maybe, let me think.....
