On the way to Heaven...



                                "Mr.Shiva, We are happy to convey you that..." the pause was followed by the applause & the words "You have made it to the heaven."

                                  Shiva felt very proud that he bowed his head to everyone over there. He was holding a gentle & pride smile in his face. The voice continued to say "One Mr.Raghu will accompany you to heaven. Have a nice time over there."

In few minutes Mr.Raghu was followed by shiva & they were climbing the stairs.

"Whats your age shiva?" Raghu asked casually.

"21 & urs..." Shiva asked.

"25" Raghu told the following words in a milder voice "when I was dead & 10 years since I came here."

Shiva : "Good. Married?"

Raghu : "Ya. Actually both of us came here together. Road accident... " <Silence> "While returning from honeymoon"

Shiva : "Sorry" <Silence> "Even I died of road accident. Brand new pulsar bike..."

Raghu : "Are you a student?"

Shiva : "ya. Final yr Engineering. EEE"

Raghu : "oh. Fine"

Shiva : "What do we do in the weekends here...?"

Raghu : "The same what we do in the weekdays"

Shiva : "oh. So what do we do in the weekdays...?"

Raghu : "Nothing"

Shiva : "What? No shopping malls or theatres here."

Raghu : "No. We have to wear uniform all the time & they give off only on sundays. No time for all those"

Shiva : "KFC, McD"

Raghu : <Weird look>"No dude"

Shiva : "Ok. At least will raja be here"

Raghu : "Ex-Minister. Joking. He will be in hell"

Shiva : "No raghu. I am asking about my roommate raja"

Raghu : "No"

Shiva : "Why? He was with me in the bike when the accident happened"

Raghu : "But he escaped with a mild injury"

Shiva : "Shit." <A long pause> "What's your work here?"

Raghu : "Many people come here daily & If they are mapped into Heaven, I will take them to heaven"

Shiva : "Whats your package?"

Raghu : "18 lpa & will get onsite allowance if I go to hell for some official work"

Shiva : "Great." <With a broad smile> "And that is why - You call this a Heaven......."

Think friends... What is heaven? What is the meaning of life if you have a lot of money & no ways to spend it.
