Ode to all pointless….

In the distant past and space a supernova exploded for apparently no reason, sending two photons off the wombs of couple of intimate atoms – The radiant twins were born so. They joined waves of new born corpuscles rushing out to enlighten the universe.
But, as fate would have it, a small ripple in space-time pushed them in different directions – not quite as emotional as twins lost in the cosmic mela, but would have to work for this story.
First photon, you can call him Ram if you want, travelled to the heartlands of India, reflected off a malt of wheat and smashed into the retina of a monkey sucking a mango. Disregarding the destiny of our dear photon who travelled vast space-times, the callous specimen of monkeys, continued sucking the mango… A millennia of photonic life time wasted.
Meanwhile, the entangled twin, you can call him Shyam, if you are a Bollywood freak, raced at a flowering monkey and deflected on to the EM sensor of a lazy corn, idling under the shadow of an Indian elephant, sucking a fruiting bat. Corn didn’t give a damn to the tired traveler and continued its avocation

He just watched it all and rolled another dice of the quantum game.
