Hi friends... <br> <br> Hope you\'ll enjoy this RAM-ayan. <br> <br> 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 <br> queens gave an OUTPUT of four SUNs: RAM, LSIman, BUG-rat and SED-rughana. <br> 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. 12 years passed and DOS-rat decided to INSTALL RAM as his successor. However, Queen CIE/ CAE (Kayegayee), 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 cruel and unexpected demand, a SURGE passed 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 his brother. 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. <br> Perceiving \'C\'ta to be the SOURCE CODE of her distress, she hastened to kill her. Weeping, SPARC-nakha fled to LAN-ka, where RAW-van, moved by <br> TRAN-SISTOR\'s plight, approached his uncle MAR-icha. MAR-icha REPROGRAMED himself into the form of a golden stag and drew RAM deep into the forest. <br> Finally, tired of chase, RAM shot the deer, who, 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 <br> 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\' <br> 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 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 VIRUS \'Fire\'. 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 for all wiped out RAW-wan\'s presence on earth. After the battle, <br> 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 everafter <br> <br> Raj, IIIT
