A voyage to hell..

Today I woke up very late. Sun was in full shine. I was late for my work. I jumped out of my bed. But fell down.. what was that.. My lags were tied up with one corner of my bed. That was not my bed. That was an old version of car or might be a chariot. "Hey, what is happening?", I enquired a guy standing beside me..He was dressed with full of jewels.. I felt I was watching some religious TV soap (Ramayana or Mahabharata). I was astonished when I got to know that he was Yamraj ji. My amazed face became pale when he informed me that I was dead and was nothing but a soul left on the earth. I was about to be expatriated to heaven or hell whichever suits me. He showed me my dead body residing near to my bed. All my family members were crying. Few other relatives were trying to console them.

Having attended my own last ceremony I started with Yam. By now we were good friends so I gave him a pet name (yam) too. When we crossed the white cloud sheet in the sky I saw a lady sitting on the reception. Woh, they too have a reception with lovely lady. She asked Yam,"Where will he go (heaven/hell)??". Yam opened a long ledger and started counting my good and bad deeds. He ordered a moustached guy to take me to hell. I had heard that they behaved badly in hell. I protested.. After all my hard work in IT industry I was not supposed to be in hell. But after all my efforts I was sent to my new abode (hell).

I was surprised when I saw a Pepsi vending machine at the entrance of hell. People were moving here and there. Environment looked pretty cool.. I thought if that was hell then what about heaven.. When I moved few yards from the main gate I found a group of middle aged people.. They were all looking gentle men.. I tried to familiarise with the group.. Then I came to know that those people were also gentle souls. And unfortunately they were also software professionals. I used the word "unfortunately" because I had got fed up of this IT field. Once again I was among same kind of people.. Above that they were planning to develop a software for Yamraj ji.. Can you imagine that software in hell !!!!!!!! They had managers and leaders in their team. Only developer was missing there. I filled that post too..

Once again I was in a big mess. Now even after my death I was unable to take a sigh of rest. Again dead lines, work pressure and crib of not completing task on time.. In a status meeting several questions were shot by my manager. Most of them were irrelevant (at least to me)..I felt as if I had theft something and was getting interrogated.. Any how that couldn't budge me as I was used to of all that.. Finally.... appraisal day came. As usual my boss started belittle my efforts. This was too much. I got up and started shouting "I don't want to live in this hell. Let me go.".. I kept on shouting for a minute and everybody was looking at my face. My manager shacked me and asked the reason. Then I realized that I was sitting in a boring meeting and was screaming on my actual boss on the "earth". I wasn't dead.. Woh..

That was a great news.. That day I realised that I was so engrossed in my work that I had absolutely no time for myself. I decided to take out some time daily for myself and spend it with my family and friends. I can tell you from that day onwards I never shouted on my manager and stopped day dreaming.. hehehheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
