It has been quite long since I updated my blog. I’ve three drafts. But not even one of them finished. So I’m making an excuse “ Didn’t find time” a usual one which I make to fool others but I know that I cant fool myself.
This blog is about a unique experience of mine. I work in a software firm. One fine Friday evening when I reached home after her work, I found that nobody was recognizing me. I was perplexed. “What is happening” I yelled. But no one was bothered. I went to my room and to my utter shock found a garlanded photograph of mine. Am I dead??
Ohhh….. I fainted. People who are dead also lose consciousness. That was a new piece of information.
Somebody sprinkled water on my face and I gained myself back. “ Life after death”, I sighed.
I was greeted by familiar faces. I was relieved that I’m not alone. I found an old lady who used to live in my neighborhood, she was plucking flowers. She said that I’m in a place which is not in heaven or hell, rather a threshold to both. I decided to call it a “No man’s land”, even though I’m no longer a human being. “ Kuch aadaten aisi hoti hai ki usse badalna mushhkil hothi hai”.
It’s a place where you would be sent if you had done some minor sins and after a “training” period , I would be made permanent in heaven. This period would depend on the intensity of sins I’d committed. And another thing was that I’m supposed to continue what I’d been doing in my mortal life.
So I have to work in my company. A development center at “No man’s land” ???? I suddenly felt a kind of pride which I had not at all felt when I was alive.
The very next “day” at “No man’s land” I went to office. And my seat… Oh that’s similar to the one which I’d when I was alive… Ahh.. I was more than happy and started working. The code in which I was supposed to fix the bug received me when I unlocked my PC. As usual I concentrated on my work. Yeaaah, I fixed the bug…. I shouted. The silence was broken .
I uttered, "Life after...." Heard a lour roar... " WHAT???"
I found all my colleagues staring at me as woke up from my dream. I was sitting in my seat , staring at the monitor with my mind wandering all over ……
To those who read this blog, can you can relate yourself to me ?????
