These pieces are of just humor about Raamaayan, not to be taken seriously...

How the Raamaayan Was Written?
The Raamaayan was written by a tribal Thug who was turned into a sage by intervention of Sage Naarad. Later he became a bird hunter who separated a bird couple and the sorrow he saw in that couple flowed as Raamaayan.

Hilarious Musings of Raam on the Issue of the Setu Bridge...
Raam surveyed the Setu and said - "Hanumaan, how diligently and strenuously you and your Vaanar Senaa had built this bridge several centuries ago. It is remarkable that it has withstood the ravages of the climatic and geographical changes over centuries. It is indeed an amazing feat especially considering the fact that a bridge at Hyderabad built by Gammon using latest technology collapsed the other day even before they could stick the posters on its pillars."

Hanuman replied with all humility - "Jai Shree Raam, It is all because of your grace. We just scribbled your name on the stones and threw them in the sea and they floated and held together. No steel from TISCO or cement from Ambuja or ACC was ever used. But Lord, why rake up the old issue now?"

Ram spoke - "Well, Hanumaan some people down there want to demolish the bridge and construct a canal. The contract involves lot of money and lot of money will be made. They will make money on demolition and make more money on its construction."
Hanuman humbly bowed down and said - "Prabhu, Why not we go down and present our case?"

Raam said - "Times have changed Hanumaan, since we were down there. They will ask us to submit the proof of age and we don't have either a birth certificate or school leaving certificate. We traveled mainly on foot and sometimes in bullock carts and so we don't have a driving license either. As far as the proof of address is concerned, the fact that I was born at Ayodhyaa is itself under litigation for over half a century. If I go in a traditional attire with bow and arrow, the ordinary folks may recognize me, but Sibbal may take me to be some tribal and, at the most, offer a seat at IIT under the reserved category for learning how to construct a bridge. Also, a God cannot walk in, dressed in a three-piece suit and announce his arrival. It would make even the devotees suspicious. So it is a dilemma so to say."

Hanumaan supported Raam - "I can vouch for you by saying that I personally built the bridge."
Raam said - "My dear Anjanee Putra, it will not work. They will ask you to produce the Layout plan, The Project details, Approved Plans, Municipal Building Permit, Excavation Permit, the contractor who built it including financial outlay and how the project cost was met and the completion certificate. And who inaugurated it? Nothing is accepted by these people without documentary evidence in India . You may cough but unless a doctor certifies it, you have no cough. A pensioner may present himself personally but the authorities do not take it as proof. He has to produce a life-certificate to prove that he is alive. It is that complicated, Hanumaan, it is not so easy."

Hanumaan said - "Lord, I can't understand these historians. Over the years you have given Darshan once every hundred years to saints like Soor Daas, Tulasee Daas, Saint Thyaagaraja, Jayadev, Bhadraachal Raamdas and even Sant Tukaaram and still they disbelieve your existence and say Raamaayan is a myth. The only option, I see, is to re-enact Raamaayan on the Earth and set the government records straight once for all."

Raam smiled and said - "It is also not that easy today. Raavan is apprehensive that he may look like a saint in front of today's politicians. I also spoke to his Maamaa Maareech, who appeared as a golden deer to tempt Seetaa when I was in the forest and he said that he won't take a chance of stepping on Earth as long as Salman Khan is around."
