As can be made out from the title, this is a story which has been plagiarised from the famous Grimms Brothers fairytale.
In the original fairytale, Snow White stumbled on to the Seven Dwarfs. But in La la Land, where exceptions were the norm, it was the Dwarfs who stumbled on to Snow White one by one and thus got anointed so.
So once upon a time in La La Land, there was Snow White (Baby Spice, introduced in story RR - 009, titled Mission B). She lived a life of happiness and contentment, making friends across the campus, doing assignments with Aurangzeb and hanging out with B Company. Everything was hunky dory till one day the dwarf’s started making their appearance.
Enter Dwarf 1:
Dwarf 1 was Techtosterone (introduced in story RR - 009, titled Mission B). As mentioned previously, tech was his forte. He could live tech, eat tech and breathe tech and did so quite happily.He came from someplace down south and like all the hordes of South Indians, he simblyy adored Rajni Sir, right down to trimming his moustache exactly like him. His motto in life was “Losers say Rajni-cant, winners say …….. errr …....Rajni-can”. Anyway, Techtosterone was in the same project group as Snow White and it was in his interactions with her through the many case studies and assignments that they did together that one fine day he realized that he was very attracted to her. This was perhaps because they were quite opposite to each other in almost every sense. Where he was serious, she was humourous. Where he was bland, she was saucy. And where he was techy and geeky and generally kept himself to himself, she was quite a social and gregarious personality. But what had to be done, had to be done. So after planning and thinking and rethinking things through for a month, he finally summoned up the courage to make his feelings known to her.
After their group had met for a discussion, he managed to get her away alone for a moment on the pretext of some project group and the conversation went somewhat like this:
Techtosterone: Have you heard of Newton’s Laws of Motion?
Snow White: Yes. Vaguely. He invented them after eating apples right?
Techtosterone: Well, not quite, but anyways, do you know the first law of motion?
Snow White: An apple a day, keeps the doctor away?
Techtosterone: “What???” in a shocked voice.
Snow White: Just kidding buddy. I don’t quite remember it at the moment
Techtosterone: Every object continues to remain in a state of rest or uniform motion until the time it is acted upon by an external force
Snow White: So?
Techtosterone: I am the object and you are the external force
Snow White: Eh?
Techtosterone: Ok forget that. Do you know Newton’s third law of motion?
Snow White: Im sure you won’t rest till you tell me, so fire away
Techtosterone: For ever action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I am the action and you are the reaction.
Snow White (quite smartly): Are you proposing to me Mr. Techtosterone?
Techtosterone: Well…..ummm….actually….the thing is that….you see……..errr……well dash it, yes!!!
Snow White: You chump, can’t you ever think beyond tech stuff?
Techtosterone (eagerly): So should I deduce that to be a yes?
Snow White: Well, not quite, but I have an equation for you. X+Y = 0. You are X and I am Y.
Saying which, she walked away leaving Techtosterone scratching his head and trying to figure out what exactly had gone wrong.
