    @SCSusila
    It is very true. We tend to take the advices only if they suit us and are in tune with our thinking. But our parents, good friends and our Mentor tend to give us the correct advice always and it may not be in line with our thinking. Even when our alter ego raises its feeble protest, we tell him to shut up! The human tendency is to reject outright if the advices are not in line with our thinking. The problem with most of us is that we hate anything that is meant to correct our course. 'Who is he to come and advise me as if I do not know what is good or bad for me?' is our usual reaction. The problem with advising is that the giver and taker are in the two ends of a spectrum. Has anyone received more well meaning and beneficial advice than Duryodana? Lord Krishna was all the time ready to lead him in the right path but did he not scoff at the Lord? ( I just finished Krishna Jayanthi pooja. Hence this reference to the Purana!)
    We all tend to realise our mistake only after we pay the price for our wrong decision!

    (She takes a piece of paper and draws the picture of her alter ego)

    Alt-Ira: Is that my nose?
    Ira: Yes, your nose.
    Alt-Ira: Now I understand why Cheeniya's nose in the cartoon turned out to be so different. Why don't you stick only to your nonsensical writing and not foray into sketching.
    Ira: I like sketching.
    Alt-Ira: You mean nonsensical sketching.
    Ira: Whatever!
    Alt-Ira: What are those tubes coming of my head? Is that hair by any chance?
    Ira: Yes, yes, long lush hair!
    Alt-Ira: Bejesus! God save Cheeniya. What is that drooping appendage?
    Ira: Hand!
    Alt-Ira: That limp catkins is a hand? Why is my rear protruding so as if I have silicon implants.
    Ira: I am generous with curves.
    Alt-Ira: I see that.
    Ira: What color should I paint you?
    Alt-Ira: Any color that slightly subdues that fantastical facscmile.

    Here I find people discussing about their alter ego and one is trying to sketch her alter ego.

    I am left in the darkness without knowing anything about my alter ego.

    I am urgently in need of an hypnotist to find out what my alter ego says about me.

    Dear PS
    Alter ego is a necessary support system for people who tend to commit a lot of mistakes in life. You are a good woman who meticulously follows what your heart tells you. Be at peace with yourself!

    Dear Mr Cheeniya,
    It is not possible for anyone to be perfect without committing any mistake. At least unknowingly I could have committed some mistakes.

    @Iravati
    Alt-Sri: Hello are you there?
    Alt-Ira: I am there but hiding
    Alt-Sri: Why are you hiding?
    Alt-Ira: She has started drawing my picture
    Alt-Sri: That's something to be proud of. Not hiding!
    Alt-Ira: I look awful in that picture
    Alt-Sri: It's not your portrait. It's your caricature like RK Narayan's Common Man. You ought to be proud of it.
    Alt-Ira: Is nonsensical sketching the other word for cartooning?
    Alt-Sri: It's an art that only few are gifted with. You ought to be proud of your woman!
    Alt-Ira: Have you seen what she has drawn of me?
    Alt-Sri: I would love to
    Alt-Ira: She is working on it. Giving finishing touches to it I believe.
    Alt-Sri: I understand. Making a face look funny is a tough job. Making a funny face look funnier is even more difficult!
    Alt-Ira: Do you think I have a funny face?
    Alt-Sri: If you have it, you must feel proud of it. Even the gorgeous Audrey Hepburn loved to have a funny face. She was happy doing the lead role in Funny Face!
    Alt-Ira: So do you think that I need not feel annoyed at the way she drew my picture?
    Alt-Sri: Consider yourself blessed!

    Alt-Ira: Are you done with my picture?
    Ira: No, still thinking whether I should give you long hair or short bristles.
    Alt-Ira: Jeez! Make it bald. No hair is a compassionate fate than you giving me hair.
    Ira: You will look marvellous once I am done with your neck.
    Alt-Ira: You will give the long-necked ostriches fright with my neck that seems to have been put through the wringer.
    Ira: Aah! Aren't those square eyes a beauty!
    Alt-Ira: How did RK Laxman's common man inspire you to draw Cheeniya's portrait? As far as I know, none in his seven generations of forbears resembled that cartoonish man you drew.
    Ira: I had only a minute to draw so I chose a common face which is the caricature of the common man. But I heard that Cheeniya has taken to it like Dorian Gray to his picture.
    Alt-Ira: I heard a different story. I heard that he was inconsolable for two days after one look at your picture.
    Ira: You should not say such things about my nonsensical drawings. He was so happy that he named this portrait "Funny Face".
    Alt-Ira: You torture him with nonsensical writing and nonsensical portrait. Is there any sense, in any form, that you would like him to believe in occasionally.
    Ira: Ooh! I can bake a cake for him.
    Alt-Ira: Would that be as hard as a rock?
    Ira: Don't worry. Cheeniya will love my cake. One bite and he will experience heaven.
    Alt-Ira: You mean one bite and he will call ambulance?
    Ira: Don't disturb me now. I should send him my lappety cake.
    Alt-Ira: That does look very lappety and goopety. God save Cheeniya!

    Alt-Sri: What is that? It look like an ancient engraving.
    Alt-Ira: No no it's a cake she has baked for Cheeniya
    Alt-Sri: You must be kidding. A cake for him?
    Alt-Ira: Why should I lie to you. She herself told me and showed me the cake.
    Alt-Sri: It looks like a plan to lead man to the next stage of his evolution.
    Alt-Ira: I don't understand a word you say. You seem to be in your nonsensical best today.
    Alt-Sri: With this kind of eatables, she probably plans to take Cheeniya to the next stage of human evolution
    Alt-Ira: What would that be?
    Alt-Sri: See for yourself

    Alt-Ira: Did you finish my portrait? Cheeniya in his best nonsensical form is impatiently waiting for it.
    Ira: Done, done!
    Alt-Ira: What is that? I am singing to a comb?
    Ira: That is your nonsensical best.
    Alt-Ira: But I cannot sing.
    Ira: Correction. I cannot sing. So you can do everything I cannot. After all, you are my alt-self.
    Alt-Ira: Why singing?
    Ira: Cheeniya is a classical singer. One of us should pretend to sing to fraternize with him.
    Alt-Ira: Could you not have given me something but pyjamas?
    Ira: Nah, jumping from sofa and singing is a class act in itself.
    Alt-Ira: After the evolutionary cake, I don't think Cheeniya can handle more of your nonsense. This portrait takes the biscuit.
    Ira: You want me to bake a biscuit for him after the cake. I can do that.
    Alt-Ira: I don't know what can save Cheeniya anymore now.

    Alt-Sri: What is your Ira doing now?
    Alt-Ira: Brace yourself! She is attempting to sketch your Sri again.
    Alt-Sri: Psh!
    Alt-Ira: This time she promised a better picture, a five-minute picture.
    Alt-Sri: Her one-minute was horrendous, would her five-minute be any better?
    Alt-Ira: She mentioned, it is Sri at his Finest!
    Alt-Sri: Oh Dear!
    Alt-Ira: Here she is ready to unveil his portrait.
    Alt-Sri: What is that?
    Alt-Ira: Sri and his Wol.
    Alt-Sri: Are they dancing?
    Alt-Ira: Well, if the non-singing Ira can sing in her portrait then the non-dancing Sri can dance in his glorious portrait.
    Alt-Sri: Don't portraits feature the front rather than the hind?
    Alt-Ira: She reckons Sri's beard was too long to draw.
    Alt-Sri: I better warn Cheeniya about another impending distress.
