How Well Do U Know Ur Alphabets…

This seems like a funny lil’ question eh– how well do u know ur alphabets?
M sure u nit-wits wud say Pretty Well…but what lies beneath the qstn is – how WELL do u know ‘em!!!

Well…when I first learnt the alphabets, there seemed this natural bond that I formed with them. They appeared like a huge soap opera setting.
My brains thot of this whole soap opera thngy in an era when “The Bold & The Beautiful” maybe was just conceived.
And people in India recognized “soap” as nothing more than a cleanser.

All the 26 alphabets have a unique character, a role that is inscribed in my head so well that nowadays I link up TV/Movie stars with certain alphabets.

Wanna know how…

A is like this old sophisticated man who leads the pack (The GodFather). The rest of the jing bang is scared of him but he makes sure whoeva needs help, gets it!

B is in a way the “wife” of A. She takes care of the house and their child (C) and makes sure all their needs are met (*cough* typical housewife).

C is the lovechild of A & B. A total brat. Like me. (No u morons, m not a love child…err…I mean I was born out of love(making) and ofcourse marriage).
Everyone seems protective about C, but she doesn’t really seem to care. She always follows her heart/head/dreams.

C is pretty fond of D and tries to hang out with the old man a lot. (Yup, D is somewhat grandpa’s age). He teaches her music and art and theatre. (Wow! Some grandpa!)

E is an orphan whoz brought up by D. He’s the “good” son that every parent desires. No bad habits. No bad company. Intelligent, smart and very reserved.

F is the real brother of E, but totally opposite in nature. He’s into bad company, gambling, smuggling and the works. Right from childhood, F was a rebellion who unlike his brother discovered a different “kick” in following the ways of G.

G is the bad element of society here. (Yeah, in spite of people loving the G-string!)
He runs his own “company” – the G-company, brooding anti-social elements. But he has a soft corner for F, so limits F’s activities to just gambling and smuggling. F lives like a king, splurging money on monetary pleasures.

Next comes in a different set of family.
H is the elder brother of I. Both orphans. They live together. H is a hard working, intelligent and righteous fellow who’s made a stand in society.
I is a “special” kid. He’s a slow learner. He is 15 (physically) but has the brain of a 5 year old. H wants a wife who’d be a mother to I. His life revolves around I.

J is the (somewhat shrewd) father of K who wants L to marry his daughter K.
J tries to play his cards right to get what he desires.
K is the soft-spoken, clean hearted good daughter of a bad father.
L is the rich dude. Owning lotsa businesses. Smart, Intelligent, Sophisticated.

Now here’s a little twist again.
M & N are best friends (girls).
L falls in love with N, the first time he sees her. M plays cupid and tries to hook them up.
But N also has a responsibility.
Her younger brother O needs a lotta attention and care.

L promises to take care of them both.
(Phew! Talk about a soap opera at the age of 2!)

Another new turn.

P & Q are the 2 wise old men, who sit on the park’s bench every evening holding intelligent discussions. They talk about current affairs, news, politics, sports. And they never meddle with anyone. Neither do others bother them.
They know the skin & deeds of the rest of the alphabets. But they never go around advising anyone. They prefer being silent spectators. Wise!

Now, R is a total ass-kisser. He tries to make money off S.
S is a sweet old lady who’s oblivious to the ways of the world. All she cares about is her son T.
T is a young lad who studied in the US, earned lotta merit and is now back to do smthg worthwhile in his country. He loves his mom and dad U.
U & S are a divorced couple. The only link they have is T.
V is T’s friend. Or shud I say “best friend”.

W is just another character in the soap. (An extra)
X reminds me of Xylophone. Hence a musician who makes his living by playing in renowned clubs of the city.
Z is an animal lover (maybe coz I can only think of a Zebra).

Hmmm…so that’s that.

Boy! Talk about imagination!!!
Every time I think of my alphabets, this is the entire link up that flashes in my mind.
Feels like I know them as people, and not just Alphabets!
