When Bill Gates was in India, he had a chance 2 listen Ramayana from Vajpayee. After returning 2 US he wrote
it in his personal Diary which has been recently found (courtesy PTI). These are excerpts from his diary:
Ramayana by Bill Gates…
LAN, LAN ago, in the SYSTEM of I/O-dhya, there
ruled a PROCESSOR named DOS-rat. Once he
EXECUTED a great sacrifice PROGRAM after which
his queens gave an OUTPUT of four SUNs - RAM,
LSIman, BUG-rat and SED-rughana.
RAM the eldest was a MICROCHIP with excellent
MEMORY. His brothers, however, were only
PERIPHERAL ICs. Once when RAM was only 16MB, he
married princess C ta.
12 years passed and DOS-rat decided to INSTALL
RAM as his successor.However, Queen CIE/CAE
(Kayegayee), who was once offered a boon by DOS-
rat for a lifesaving HELP COMMAND, took this
opportunity at the instigation of her BIOSed maid
and insisted that her son Bug-rat be INSTALLED and
that RAM be CUT-N-PASTED to the forest for 14
years. At this cruel and unexpected demand, a SURGE
passed through DOS-rat and he CRASHED like
unstable version of AI MSN does in intel.
LOGIN with him. LSI-man also resolved on LOGGING
IN with his brother. The forest was the dwelling of
SPARCnakha, the TRAN-SISTOR of RAW-van,
PROCESSOR of LAN-ka. Attracted by RAM, she
proposed that he should marry her. RAM, politely
declined, perceiving C ta to be his SOURCE CODE.
She hastened to kill her but LSI-man cut her
inportant PERIPHERALS. Weeping, SPARC-nakha fled
to LAN-ka, where RAW-van, moved by TRAN-SIS
TOR s plight, approached his uncle MAR-icha. MAR-
icha REPROGRAMED himself to form a golden stag
and drew RAM deep into the forest. Finally, RAM
shot the deer, which, with his last breath, cried out
for LSI-man in voice of RAM s SOUND CARD. Fooled
by this VIRTUAL RAM SOUND, C ta urged LSI-man
to his brother s aid. Catching the opportunity, RAW-
van DELINKED C ta from her LIBRARY and changed
her ROOT DIRECTORY to LAN-ka.
