There's no cure for..

Once upon a time there was a contest, the Mr.Disease contest, which judged the best and the most powerful disease amonst all. Everybody had come, heartthrobs like AIDS, TB etc. Then there were different cancers; blood, lungs, skin. They all really looked nice. Not to forget Mr. Heart-Problems. There were small and mediocre ones like cold, cough, headache who had also come, although I don't think they had much chance of winning. But one thing to say, they were surely optimistic. And in the end came Mr.Old Age(budhaapa), quietly, unnoticed. In the audience were bacteria, fungi, virus and many more. They all had a great party and then the competition began.

I'm sure you might have guessed who won the competition by my style of mentioning it. Anyways, the competition consisted of a round where every contestant had to come up on the stage and say a few words in their praise. Whoa! I say modesty. So all the big ones came first and exalted their actions and narrated different stories exhibiting their mights. In the end came Mr.Old age. He was a huge, dark, ugly person. This is the story he narrated:

--
Once in a city lived a very intelligent doctor. He was respected and honored for his practice in the medical field and had his own style of tackling ailments. One day an old man, white hair, wrinkled skin, bent back came to him and said
"Doctor. I am facing a problem. Please help me out"
"What is your problem ?"
"Doctor, I cannot see very well. Everything is blurred. Please help me", said the old man.
"To diagnose a problem, we first find the root cause and then try to cure it.."
The doctor pondered for a minute and said
"As far as I think, this is due to old age and I'm sorry but we have no cure for old age."

The old man was disappointed.
"Okay doctor. My knees pain a lot, I can't even walk properly. What is the cure for this ?" said the old man.
"To diagnose a problem, we first find the root cause and then try to cure it.."
The doctor thought and said,
"As far as I think, this is due to old age and I'm sorry but we have no cure for old age."

He was even more disappointed this time..
"My digestive system has become very weak. Earlier I used to eat everything. Now I can't digest food. Can you give me some medicine?" said the old man.
"To diagnose a problem, we first find the root cause and then try to cure it.."
The old man was getting irritated by this dialogue but the doctor wasn't....
Again he said,
"As far as I think, this is due to old age and I'm sorry but we have no cure for old age."

Now the old man was really vexed.
"Okay doctor my head feels heavy all the time. How can this be dealt with ?"
He feared the doctor would say his favourite lines again and it came true
"To diagnose a problem, we first find the root cause and then try to cure it.."
The old man was getting red....
"As far as I think, this is due to old age and I'm sorry but we have no cure for old age."

"Shut up! You stupid ass!" said the old man..
"Who calls you a doctor ? You know nothing and have no cure for anything. You are a useless person and everybody says he is a good doctor. They are all fools. Get lost, I don't need your medicines..."
Suddenly the doctor interrupted,
"Ohhh! You have become so irritable and cranky. This certainly is due to old age and I'm sorry but we have no cure for old age."
--

There was a huge applaud in the whole auditorium. So now everybody knows who won. If sensory interactions happen to be all the source of pleasure, then wait until Mr.Old age gets hold of you and slowly, gradually devours your senses. And remember there's no cure for it.

  • Story mein drama tha...thoda sa suspense bhi tha.. but .. different si thi..
    I'd rather say it was thoughtful. Matlab ki old ppl ko kuch bhi ho.. to all they get to hear is.."age ke saath aisa hota hai!"
