The Greatest Game Ever Played

I remember thinking that this 'Ishwar' track is gonna be a gut-wrenching track that could challenge the Brain Tumor track(whose wings were eventually curtailed due to a negative reaction from the masses despite a positive critic response) for no. 1 position.

If I can draw up an analogy with the current state of the 'Ishwar' track, nothing will come as close as the game of "Mario".

Simple, genuine, graphics that fulfill the requirement, challenging enough to stress ur brain & emotional enough to touch ur heart. And one fine day, after hours of hard work & precision u land up on the 8th & the final level of "Mario", the grandest of them all; heart-wrenching, brain storming & the most intriguing level of the game. A feel-good feeling that u r on the last level of the best game ever to have been designed by mankind.

U start the game with the audience around u sensing that this is gonna be epic & in your nervous excitement u jump into the 1st possible fire well. Back to the starting point, this time u r careful about that fire well, so u jump afar only to hit the algae hiding at the blindspot. Starting point. This time u go up fast & jump over both of them & just to be satisfied spits a fire ball from behind. U go ahead & miss the trick to move over the sliding & falling staircases & back are u to the starting pint. But it feels exciting up until ur 7th try. Then the lesser mortals indulge in game within a game if they are unable to reach the final resting place of the dragon. They burst bricks & start to climb over the top, hit a duck in the most ingenious manner, collect max. coins till "Game Over", stepping on the same duck max. no of times. In all this while 3 things are crystal clear

1) U r not going to get past the dragon & win the game unless u are adaptively witty

2) U r going to get past the dragon & win the game easily if u use a cheat code

3) If u r not going to get past the dragon & win the game, u will always be starting from the "Starting Point"

The more u resort to 2nd & 3rd, the more is the strength & willingness of the audience around u to pull the plug.

BTW, don't find hidden meaning where it isn't

P.S. So, Ragini doing a Michael Jackson gig today. It would have been ironic if it was broadcasted on the Children's Day yday

Though I didn't fully get what u'r intention is in drawing such a comparison but I would have to give u full marks for such a crazy analogy and for the way you described the game of Mario👏. I know that man's imagination can cut across all borders, go beyond the sky but never thought it can dwell on such craziness. 😆
