I
wake up suddenly and find myself immersed in white. I look around. Nobody. I
think hard and remember my accident. I get panicky. I search for bruises. None.
How could it be?
Suddenly,
I hear giggles. Two girls dressed weirdly walk towards me.
‘Excuse
me?’
‘Yes
Avinash’ – answers the one with deep blue eyes. I couldn’t help but notice how breathtakingly
beautiful she was.
‘Err..
I know it sounds a cliché but main kahan hoon’
‘Heaven’
‘Heav..heaven?
Is this some joke? Oh-my-God. Did I die?’
‘Yes.
But good deeds have brought you to Heaven.’
Oh,
so this is what it comes to. My life. Death. I have questions. But nobody to
ask. I don’t know how many days pass by. I don’t even know if they have days
in heaven. Slowly death sinks in. Heavenly routine of basking in pleasures
sets in.
I
notice the blue-eyed girl everyday. My manly instincts tell me she is
interested too. But whenever I approach her, she vanishes. Determined,
I stop her one day. She seems frightened or amused, I don’t know.
‘Err..
I really like you. And something tells me you do too. I know I am being direct
but I am already dead so you or nobody can kill me for saying this.’
I
try humour.
‘I
hate that smelly stubble of yours. I know I am being direct but even I am
already dead so you can’t kill me either.’
There.
A faint smile.
So,
this stubble kept me away from my probable girlfriend. Err.. do they have
girlfriends in heaven? Never mind.
Next
day, I see her again. And I could see from sparks over her head that my clean
shaven look had bowled her over.
Heaven
or Earth. Some things just click with women ;)
