When Ceiling Fan Spilled Our Secrets

Carrying a secret is a real burden which can bloat one s stomach to a degree where Gasgo doesn’t work too. As a child our music teacher narrated us a story of a king who developed Horns and used to kill any barber trimming his hair for the fear of all his subjects knowing his secret….till the time Dhnandoonaath a barber swaeared by his children never to reveal the kings secret. Slowly dhandunaath s stomach swelled so much that no anta acid could work on it. SO to releave himself Dhandoonaath told a tree of the forest of Horns on Kings head….incidentally he felt as light as a feather after disclosing the secret to the tree. After almost a week the bark of the tree was chopped by a wood cutter to make it into a big drum or nagaara used for announcements in the kingdom….as the drums man played the drum ,the Dhol started speaking…..” Dhandoonaath ne kaha Raja ke sir pe seeengh hei ” and a secret became the whole kingdoms gossip! We all have certain grey areas of life which are very precious to us ,which we dont want to share with closest of our friends.
