When Bill Gates was in India, he had a chance to listen to Ramayana from Atal Behari Vajpayee. After returning to the US, he wrote it in his personal diary. A tabloid in the US got a copy of his writings. These are excerpts from his diary.
Ramayana by Bill Gates.
Long, long 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, LSI-man, 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. Twelve 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 life-saving help command, took this opportunity at the instigation of her BIOSed maid (a real plotter) and insisted that her son Bug-rat be installed and that RAM be booted to the forest for 14 years. At this cruel and unexpected demand, a surge passed through DOS-rat, and he collapsed, powerless. RAM agreed to log into the forest, and 'C'ta insisted on logging in with him. LSI-man was also resolved to log in with his brother. The forest was the dwelling of SPARCnakha, the transistor of RAW-van, processor of LAN-ka. Attracted by RAM's stature, she proposed that he marry her. RAM politely declined. Perceiving 'C'ta to be the source code of her distress, she hastened to kill her. Weeping, SPARC-nakha fled to LAN-ka, where RAW-van, moved by transistor's plight, approached his uncle MAR-icha. MAR-icha reprogrammed himself into the form of a golden stag and drew RAM deep into the forest. Finally, tired of the chase, RAM shot the deer, who, with his last breath, cried out desperately for LSI-man in RAM's voice. 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 librar and changed her root directory to LAN-ka.

RAM and LSI-man started searching for the missing 'C'ta all over the forest. They made friendship with the forest system administrator SU-greev and his powerful co-processor Ha-NEUMAN. SU-greev agreed to help RAM. SU-greev ordered his programmers to use powerful 'search' techniques to find the missing 'C'ta. His programmers searched all around internet-worked forests. Many tried to 'excite' the birds and animals, not to forget the 'web crawlers' (insects), and tried to seek something about 'C'ta. Some of them even shouted 'Yahoo' but they all ended up with 'No Found' messages. Several other search techniques proved useless. Ha-NEUMAN devised a risky technology and used it to cross the seas at an astonishing clock speed. Soon Ha-NEUMAN downloaded himself into LAN-ka. After doing some local search, Ha-NEUMAN found 'C'ta weeping under a tree structure. Ha-NEUMAN used a login ID (ring) to identify himself to 'C'ta. After decrypting the key, 'C'ta believed in him and asked him to send a status_ok message to RAM. Meanwhile, all the raakshasa bugs around 'C'ta captured Ha-NEUMAN and tried to delete him using pyro-techniques. But Ha-NEUMAN managed to spread chaos by spreading the virus 'Fire'. Ha-NEUMAN happily pressed escape from LAN-ka and conveyed all the status messages to RAM and SU-greev. RAW-van decided to take the all-powerful RAM head-on and prepared for the battle. One of RAW-van's sons almost deleted RAM and LSI-man with a powerful brahma-astra. But Ha-NEUMAN resorted to some Active-X gradients and rebooted RAM and LSI-man. RAM used the source code secrets of RAW-van and once and for all wiped out RAW-van's presence on earth. After the battle, RAM got installed in I/O-dhya and spread his Microsoft Works and other user-friendly programs to all users, and everyone lived happily ever after.

Dear Swapna,
Namaskar.
To my morning exercise friends, I give two instructions:
1. Do not inflict pain on your body and mind because they will rebel. Fondle them, and they will comply.
2. Do not nourish obsessions (baham). Your mind will be jammed up.
When Yudhisthir was the emperor of Bharat, the following characters of Ramayan were alive:
1. Janaka, father-in-law of Ram,
2. Maya Danav, father-in-law of Ravan,
3. Jambavan,
4. Vibhishan, and
5. Hanuman.
There is no mention of Lav and Kush. At the time of Ashwamedh Jajna of Yudhisthir, for the protection of the jajna horse, Bhim went to the northern side; Arjun went to the eastern side; Sahadev went to the southern side, and Nakul went to the western side. The kings they met are described in Mahabharat. But there is no mention of Lav Kush. This implies that a lot of fabrication might have been added to make the myth interesting. So accordingly, I think it is necessary to make a choice.
Regards,
Jogeshwar.
