A 'Sudi-story'...

I've known Sudi through college. He's been a dear friend ever since. We've always known the artist in him -

Sudi Art 1

Sudi calls this one - EyeSpy

...and today he's revealed another talent - 'Story-Telling'

Update (1st February, 2008): So it's not a 'Sudi-story' :(. And that doesn't make you any less talented :)...

Here's one of his latest tales forwards (edited version)-

A long time ago, before the world was created and humans set foot on it, God had put all human 'qualities' in a separate room.

All qualities were bored and they decided to play 'Hide-n-Seek'. 'Madness' was one of the qualities and he shouted, "I want to seek, I want to seek!". Since nobody wanted to seek 'Madness', the other qualities agreed.

So 'Madness' leaned against a tree and started counting, "One, two, three..."

As 'Madness' counted, the qualities went hiding. 'Treason' hid in a pile of garbage, 'Lie' announced he'd hide under a stone, but hid at the bottom of a lake instead. 'Madness' continued counting, "... seventy nine, eighty, eighty one..."

By this time, almost all qualities were hidden - except 'Love'. For stupid as 'Love' is, he couldn't decide where to hide. (And this shouldn't surprise us, because we all know how difficult it is to hide 'Love')

'Madness', "...ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven...". Just when 'Madness' got to one hundred, 'Love' jumped into a rose bush.

'Madness' turned around and shouted, "I'm coming, I'm coming!". 'Laziness' was the first to be found; he was too lazy to hide. 'Madness' searched madly and found 'Lie' at the bottom of the lake. One by one, 'Madness' found them all - except 'Love'. 'Madness' was getting desperate, unable to find 'Love'.

Envious of Love, 'Envy' whispered to 'Madness', "You only need to find 'Love' and he's hiding in the rose bush". 'Madness' jumped into the rose bush and heard a loud cry. The thorns in the bush had pierced 'Love's' eyes.

Hearing the commotion God came in and saw what had happened. He got very angry and cursed 'Madness'. He said, "Since 'Love' has become blind because of you, you shall always be with him".

And so it came to be from that day on - 'Love is blind and is always accompanied by Madness'.

Where he comes up with gets these, is hard to say. Appreciation, suggestions, comments, brick-n-bats, can all be sent to Sudi directly.
