Ramayana.
DISK-FORMATTED-RAMAYANA.
When Bill Gates was in India, he had a chance 2 listen Ramayana from A B Vajpayee.
After, returning 2 US he wrote it in his personal Diary. A Tabloid in US got a copy of his writings. These are excerpts from his diary "Ramayana by Bill Gates".
LAN, LAN ago, in the SYSTEM of I/O-dhya, there ruled a PROCESSOR named DOS-rat. Once he EXECUTED a great sacrifice PROGRAM after which his queens gave an OUTPUT of four SUNs--RAM, LSIman, BUG-rat and SED-rughana. RAM the eldest was a MICROCHIP with excellent MEMORY. His brothers, however, were only PERIPHERAL ICs.
Once when RAM was only 16MB, he married princess "C"ta. 12years pa.s.sed by and DOS-rat decided to INSTALL RAM as his successor. However, Queen CIE/CAE (Kaikayi), who was once offered a boon by DOS-rat for a lifesaving HELP COMMAND, took this opportunity at the instigation of her BIOSed maid (a real plotter), and insisted that her son Bug-rat be INSTALLED and that RAM be CUT-N-PASTED to the forest for 14 years.
At this unexpected demand, a SURGE pa.s.sed through DOS-rat and he collapsed, power-less. RAM agreed to LOG INTO forest and "C"ta insisted to LOGIN with him. LSI-man also resolved on LOGGING IN with them. The forest was the dwelling of SPARCnakha, the TRAN-SISTOR of RAW-van, PROCESSOR of LAN-ka. Attracted by RAM"s stature, she proposed that he marry her. RAM, politely declined. Perceiving "C"ta to be the SOURCE CODE of her distress, she hastened to hack her. Weeping, SPARC-nakha fled to LAN-ka, where RAW-van, moved by TRAN-SISTOR"s plight, approached his uncle MAR-icha. MAR-icha REPROGRAMED himself into a golden stag and dragged RAM deep into the forest.
Finally, tired of chase, RAM shot the deer, which, with his last breath, cried out desperately for LSI-man in RAM"s voice. Fooled by this VIRTUAL RAM SOUND, "C"ta urged LSI-man to his brother"s aid. Catching the opportunity, RAW-van DELINKED C"ta from her LIBRARY and changed her ROOT DIRECTORY to LAN-ka.
RAM and LSI-man started SEARCHING for the missing "C"ta all over the forest. They made friendship with the forest SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR SU-greev and his powerful co-processor Ha-NEUMAN. SU-greev agreed to help RAM. SU-greev ordered his PROGRAMMERS to use powerful "SEARCH" techniques to FIND the missing "C"ta. His PROGRAMMERS SEARCHED all around the INTER-NETworked forests. Many tried to "EXCITE" the birds and animals not to forget the "WEBCRAWLERS" (Insects) and tried to "INFO SEEK" something about "C"ta.
Some of them even shouted "YAA-HOO" but they all ended up with "NOT FOUND MESSAGES".
Several other SEARCH techniques proved useless. Ha-NEUMAN devised a RISKy TECHNOLOGY and used it to cross the seas at an astonishing CLOCK SPEED. Soon Ha-NEUMAN pressed ENTER and DOWNLOADED himself into LAN-ka. After doing some local SEARCH, Ha-NEUMAN found "C"ta weeping under a TREE STRUCTURE. Ha-NEUMAN used a LOGIN ID (ring) to identify himself to "C"ta. After DECRYPTING THE KEY, "C"ta believed in him and asked him to send a "STATUS_OK" MESSAGE to RAM. Meanwhile all the raakshasa-BUGS around "C"ta captured Ha-NEUMAN and tried to DELETE him using pyro-techniques. But Ha-NEUMAN managed to spread chaos by spreading the fire-VIRUS.
Ha-NEUMAN happily pressed ESCAPE from LAN-ka and conveyed all the STATUS MESSAGES to RAM and SU-greev. RAW-wan decided to take the all-powerful RAM head-on and prepared for the battle. One of the RAW-wan"s SUN (son) almost DELETED RAM & LSI-man with a powerful brahma-astra. But Ha-NEUMAN resorted to some ACTIVE-X gradients and REFORMATTED RAM and LSI-man. RAM used the SOURCE CODE secrets of RAW-wan and once and for all wiped out RAW-wan"s presence on earth. After the battle, RAM got INSTALLED in I/O-dhya and spreaded his MICROSOFT WORKS and other USER FRIENDLY PROGRAMS to all USERS and every one lived happily ever after.
