Once upon a time, in a faraway land a little girl was born...From the moment she arrived,
she started conquering the hearts of those who beheld her..Ruthlessly, she ruled over
her humble subjects..Her astonished and delighted parents recovered enough to
close their gaping mouths and congatulate themselves on this miracle they had created..
Her fame reached far and wide. She was called many names by fond relatives (how many
names did Arjuna have anyway) However a few names stuck more than others...Like for
some reason, one fine sunny day her Aunt Thodil took it into her head to call her beloved
(only) niece Kupleri..In spite of the frantic attempts on the part of the baby's mother, the name
stuck. To add insult to injury, the name was shortened to a mere 'Kup'. Thus began
The Era Of Kup.
Not to be left behind on the path of innate creativity, Kup's mother came up with some plans
of her own. It occurred to her that the daily activities of her daughter's busy life warranted
a chronicle..And since this being the digital era, what better way than to start her very own blog?!
One that would record the tidings of Princess Kup and her kingdom. It would offer a peephole
view into a world of quirky,yet loving group of people both before and after Kup 's birth. After all,
no self-respecting Indian movie, serial, book (or blog for that matter) would be without at least
one of the main characters having some sort of flash-back; usually shown in black-and-white.
Kup herself, after being asked many times kindly deigned to feature as guest writer from time
to time..The post of court scribe was assigned to her mother, who apart from being on-hand
most of the time and being a non-working professional would be having plenty of time for the
actual recording (yeah ,right!)...
Oh! and not to neglect a most important character, the 1st citizen in the World of Kup,
her producer, ie the proud papa himself..(technically speaking; not having reached 18 years
Kup is not a proper citizen yet.) Once upon a time he used to be a simple, peace-loving
inhabitant of the biosphere; happily doing whatever it is he is doing in that laboratory
of his, when one day someone up there got jealous..Poor man found himself married to Kup's mom
aka the Dr. who put a definite stop to his peaceful existance. Over were the days of
working non-stop 24/7; sleeping away the weekends, eating out of pots..ok ok
this post is not about him..Suddenly he was required to come home regularly, give coherent
replies to basic questions, not to mention put up with well-meant queries and worries of his
in-laws; thereby effectively putting an end to blissful solitude...However he bravely puts up with the
ups an downs of fatherhood..and there should be a word like 'husbandhood'.
So these are the main players; the supporting characters will appear and disapear as per their roles;
stage is set; ladies and gentlemen :
Welcome to The World Of Kup!!

The title rolled, and made me glue to my seat. Waiting for the first scene ( then decide should I hang on or leave ;) )
