The tale -
"Is that all you want?... "
"Yes"
"You sure"
With a calm voice Alladin persisted - "Yes... I am sure of it.."
The genie frowned completely puzzled. Nobody in it's history has placed such a weird wish. Gone were the days of simple minded guys who wanted to become rich overnight and court the princess of their land. But then people do change with time.
A second or two passed with the genie lost in thought, at the end of which it shrugged & asked it's master --
"OK.... done- So you want her with fair skin, blue eyes, dark flowing hair, melodious voice, red lips, ample bosom, accommodating and sweet personality,luscious cleavage and of course she should love you to death. Do you have any other calibration changes in your jasmine."
Alladin beamed. "Nothing more"
The genie sighed as it started to create the girl.
The best things in life do come customized.
Author's note-
This fiction is my own satirical dig at how all most everything nowadays is being made available customized. The story itself was inspired by the movie Alladin -- starring the BIG B as the genie -- which was severely disappointing to me- failing miserably to retell the age old Arabian tale with any new twists. But then what else could you expect from a film industry where originality is becoming a rare commodity.

This reminds me of something I had read in the papers almost a year back.
Apparently it is now possible for parents to have "customised" kids. They can decide their skin colour, hair colour, and even their IQ!!!! (to some extent)
I mean wtf!! :|

@ bondgal_rulz ---
Yeah... I too read about that one....
hmhm... I think people nowadays want achievers to boast abt as their childrens... not loved ones to be cherished about.. :)
What say??
@ Anonymous --
thanks 4 the compliments.. :)
Totally agree. Corroborates the fact tht ppl see their children as an axtension of their own personality. So these "made to perfection" kids actually represent their (not so) perfect parents.
@ yeah...
But then perfection is perspective....
& nothing is perfect...
But then I think imperfect things can be loved more than thingts that are perfect...
Like us-- humans.... Dont you think so??
