Blame Narad - 2

One fine day, Narad Maharishee told his father, ‘Papa.. You work a lot and you need to take some rest’.
Brahmdev (Brahma) who was busy inventing some new species looked up, ‘hmm… Now what? You already screwed up my message for the earthlings. Now what do you want?’ (Flashback)
Narad Munee replied,’ I am sorry Papa. It was a mistake. I won’t repeat it. …..’

A moment of silence passed between dear God and his beloved son.

Narad continued, ‘I was saying, you need to take some rest. You work a lot. You should take a break and go out on a vacation.. Bahmas or some other place...’
Brahma thought about it, ’But…What about my work? Who will take care of it? You know I can’t trust anyone with my work’
‘I will look after your office when you are gone. I promise I won’t screw it this time’
Brahma started thinking about it. He knew something or the other will go wrong if he handovers the office to his son. Then he thought to himself, ’What the heck!! I can revert back whatever he does.. He is right… I need a break.’
‘Okay son… I will take a break. You manage this office in my absence. In case you need any help just ask Uncle Vishnu or Uncle Mahesh. And one thing… Do not touch any of my tools !!’
‘Okay I won’t. I promise’.
After finishing his pending work Brahmdev went on a long vacation. He handed over office keys to his beloved son Narad.

First couple of days went fine. Narad kept his promise. He didn’t touch any of his dads’ tool. But soon Narad started getting bored. He thought he will have a look at his fathers’ upcoming assignments. He opened the file which said ‘New Assignments’.
There were two new assignments:
1. Creat a fruit.
2. Create a bird.
Narad looked at it as an opportunity to impress and help his dad. So he started off with the work. He spent couple of weeks in coming up with the design. It took him almost a month to finish both the assignments.

By the time Narad finished his work, Brahmdev returned from his vacation.He was glad to see that everything was still in order.
He said to Narad, ‘So what did you do in my absence?’
‘Dad.. I couldn’t keep my promise. I went through your upcoming assignments file. I thought those assignments were pretty easy, so I finished it’
Brahmdev got curious, ‘What did you do?’
‘The fruit and the bird assignment… Look …over there.. I created them and placed them all over the earth’
Brahmdev had a close look at his sons’ work.
Narad, with an innocent smile and with the expectation of getting praised by his father asked, ‘Papa… I hope you are impressed with my work!!’
Brahmdev didn’t say a word. He went near the door and opened it… then he looked at Narad, ‘Please…Never ever enter this office again!!’
‘But what did I do Dad!! I tried to help you’
Brahmdev got angry, ‘I told you to not to touch any of the tools. You disobeyed me. And look what you have done now… You created a fruit with its seed growing outside the fruit… and you created a bird which is neither a bird nor a mammal. Enough of it… Please leave this office now!!!’

Dear readers,
It’s a mythical story presented in a modern way.
Even though you know the fruit and the creature, you wouldn’t have known its creator until now.
Thanks to Narad Maharashee, we have a uniquie fruit called Cashew and a unique creature called Bat.
