Prince of Pretonia

The other day Dev called up late at night to announce, "Arey suno, Rannvijay aa gaya hai...."..I jumped out of my chair. The wait had finally ended after nine months. (Dev and Anjali are glued on to this reality show called "Roadies", whose host is a dude called Rannvijay) Despite repeated requests that whichever way your kid turns out, if however, he doesnt turn out to be a dude, the name will look really dud. And I have this fetish for names you know...it brings about a lot of character to the whole person....it does not define it or anything but yeah it does make a difference. Madam "X" gets really pissed with me when I ask her the names of her acquaintances and I say, "Hmm..punjabi? marwari? madrasi?....I am sure he will be like this or that or whatever"..And she with great aplomb rubbishes my assumptions.......

So, I picked up Atanu to pay the new father a visit at Gangaram hospital in Rajinder Nagar. Its a fair distance away. Actually from where I stay, everything is a fair distance. So, I was reminiscient of the time when Ishan was born. It was lovely feeling to hold him for the first time in my arms when he was just a few minutes old. He looked at me, blinked..and closed his eyes again. Now When I look at him making fun of me, its hard to imagine the time gone by. But I do remember my imaginations..So I told Atanu the story of "Prince of Pretonia"

Pretonia is a planet which is exactly 30,000 light years away from the edge of Milkyway. It is in the galaxy Zaphhirexo. Unlike Earth Pretonia doesnt have an ozone. People there do not need oxygen. Pretonia exists before the start of time i.e. before the primeval atom. Pretonia funtions under Monarchs and ruled by the Psymasts. Since time immemorial they have been living happily under them. Exactly 27 earth years before, power for lust started to loom large on Pretonia. King Mazoos' military leader Shinkoo planned a genocide of the Psymasts. Mazoos got to know about the conspiracy and launched an offensive, but he slowly realised that he was going to lose the war. His family was small consisting of queen Fimilee & son Kasumi.

Shinkoo wants the "Jamascus". "Jamascus" is small crystal ball that has unlimited powers and can begin and end life at will. The holder of "Jamascus" rules the Universe. Psymasts have forever possessed it & used it with discretion. In fact our earth and the milkyway are a few of its creations. (thats why there are still undiscovered life forms beyond earth. Apart from earth, the only other planet to have people like us is on planet Minjus)Over generations, each king has come to possess the "Jamascus" and had rarely used it.

With threat looming large over King Mazoos, he was more bothered about "jamascus" than anything else. He then had to take the tough decision. He wanted to fight Shinkoo, but wanted to ensure that in case he lost, "Jamascus" must not fall in the wrong hands. He entrusted the job to his little baby son, "Kasumi". In a packed container he sent out baby Kasumi to earth.

Baby Kasumi's space container crashed landed in Delhi, India. He was found by a family of a Government servant living in Timarpur. Its been 27 years and he has been living with this family he calls his own. Little knowing about his past and the powers he possesses. He also does not know that somewhere in the Universe, Shinkoo is searching for him. And when Shinkoo and his men find Kasumi, Earth will witness a battle that will shape the future......of everything.......

Atanu in all his innocnece asked me, "Where is Kasumi?"..........Does anyone want to help him out??
