So set out I in search of fame - more fame, (fortune is with me!) leaving the stars in the sky to the stardom of Hollywood, with the prime and sole objective of becoming a hero, who is worshipped by all, all over the world. With great difficulty, after spending over a month knocking at over a hundred doors of producers and directors, I could find a producer, who was busy discussing with a director about the next scene, in the set. "Hi, I'm God", introduced myself to the producer. "What? You, god, eh?" responded the producer casually turning to me for a split second and continued his dialogue with the director. "Don't you believe in God? I am the real God standing right in front of you!" "Okay, okay. Tell me, what do you want?" "Just a role in any of your films." "Sorry, we need young people; not gods like you." So went on a long debate and finally I succeeded in securing a little role of appearing in the dream of the heroine, who was, according to the story being copied on the celluloid, yearning for a child and beseeching before God for mercy on this account. I was overjoyed; I could make an entry into the world of fame! And I appeared in her dream. Blessed the her, "You'll soon give birth to a babe, my child. I bless you!" "Cut, cut", the annoyed director shouted because I acted in a very old fashion. "See Mr. God, my time is precious. You must do what you are told. Not as you wish. If something goes wrong again, you'll be out." "Oh, no. I will do my best this time", I begged. I could have thrown him out, miles away, with my supernatural power. Or I could have made him a beggar in a split second! But the opportunity was more important to me. The first step towards fame must not go out of hand at any cost. On all media, my picture would be published one day. I would be at the pinnacle of fame soon. I would have more followers than I have at present! And finally the shot was Okayed after the director cut three takes and repeated supplications not to kick me out and render my hope hopeless. |
