Romeo & Juliet!


I was talking to my friend Akshay today over the phone when the conversation turned into nonsense (quite a common trend with me.) During the course of our pointless conversation I made up a short story on the Spoken Phonetic Alphabet.

I now share my story with you all. :)

The story takes place in INDIA. It's a romantic tale between two young lovers ROMEO and JULIET. Juliet was from the ZULU cast and Romeo from the LIMA. Romeo and Juliet fell in love and soon Juliet's PAPA found out. He, along with his son VICTOR tried their best to separate the two lovers. They went to the extent of sending her off to the town of SIERRA thinking Romeo wouldn't be able to find her. But the young lover did find his lady love as Juliet had sent an ALPHA numeric coded message by the hand of a servant to give to Romeo. They secretly booked a flight with DELTA airlines and flew to QUEBEC in NOVEMBER. Once there, they rejoiced at their freedom and did the FOXTROT right in the middle of the airport. They were ecstatic at their love succeeding that they yelled from mountain tops till they could hear an ECHO. They stayed in a HOTEL initially then got jobs and eventually married.

Settled in that peaceful province, they were blessed with a baby boy who they named MIKE after Juliet's father. Their family was complete when they bought OSCAR, an adorable golden retriever into their lives. As is the case with all Indian women, Juliet stopped taking care of herself and put on one too many a KILO. But Romeo still loved her the same.

Papa and Victor however hadn't stopped looking for Juliet. It was a matter of their family pride. Papa had become an alcoholic as he took to drinking a lot of WHISKEY. He hurt himself in his drunken state one day and had to get an X-RAY done. The x-ray revealed a broken hip. Papa rested while Victor carried on with the search.

Victor was able to get in touch with a man of UNIFORM named CHARLIE. Although originally a YANKEE Charlie was a well connected man even in Quebec. They tracked down the couple to which Papa said, 'BRAVO my son! Now go get Juliet back.' Victor being an obedient son went with Charlie to Quebec. He realized that Romeo and Juliet do very much indeed love each other. Confused he called Papa and told him. Papa initially didn't agree to a Lima cast being connected to his family but then found out about his grandson Mike. Papa's heart softened. Papa and Victor accepted Romeo into the family and every Sunday the men bonded by playing GOLF. Thus, everyone lived happily ever after. :)
