Ms. Aussie and Mr. Ravana

di Chinmoy Mukherjee (Autore)

Chinmoy Mukherjee, 2025

In the heart of a kingdom forged from gold and myth, Ravana, the legendary ten-headed king of Lanka, discovers a new realm to conquer: the internet. From a palace that shimmers like a captured sun, he floods the digital world with images of his opulent city, his celestial flying chariot, and the mythical Ashoka Vatika gardens, captioning them with a touch of ancient arrogance. His posts go viral, earning awe and envy across the globe. Meanwhile, in a sterile Sydney office, Priya Sharma, who desperately wants to be known as Ms. Aussie, wages her own war against her past. Mired in a mundane banking job and a hollow marriage, she scrolls through social media, her aspirations of a glamorous Australian life clashing with the veiled mockery of her colleagues. When Ravana's posts cross her screen, she sees not splendor, but primitive baggage—everything she is trying to escape. Annoyed, she fires off a dismissive comment, mocking his ancient world from the safety of her modern one. This single digital slight ignites a feud of epic proportions. The "dinosaur king" is not amused. An exchange of terse replies escalates, culminating in Ravana, the all-powerful Rakshasa, deciding this mortal woman needs a personal lesson in respect. He travels to Sydney, not with armies, but in the guise of a flamboyant tourist, setting in motion a bizarre and terrifying confrontation in the middle of a corporate office. What begins as an online spat spirals into an abduction, a rescue attempt fueled by social media outrage, and a journey that will shatter Priya's world, forcing her to confront the true meaning of power, identity, and survival. And at its heart lies Priya—a protagonist who is neither saint nor sinner, but rather a product of systems that reward adaptability over authenticity. Her transformation, from aspirational Aussie to reluctant queen to cold technocrat, is laced with humor, pathos, and a creeping sense of menace. Ms. Aussie and Mr. Ravana is not just a tale of gods and mortals. It's a story about narrative control—who gets to be the hero, who's reduced to a status update, and what happens when mythology meets modern technology. Welcome to the Kingdom of Lanka. WiFi is excellent. Morals may vary.
