"Nope, can’t do. Your stay here has been more than required. You have to return to your place." What on heaven was this guy talking
about?
I had just gotten back with mom and now the guy wants me to
get off his land or cloud or whatever this was. And just like that, I was back in
my living room. Only, to find that my family no more lived there and a scream
from the new occupants that I could hear until the stairway of the apartment.
Thank god for the hood on my jacket.
I now walked on the streets where I had spent a few years of
my last breathing days on earth. Now where on earth were my family? If only,
the guy had enough sense to fill in my pockets with some cash and a mobile phone
to contact all of them before dropping me from heaven.
A thirty minute walk landed me in front of my granny’s house. Was
she shocked? Yep, that was definitely her dentures that fell crashing on the
floor. Wait, there was more! They screamed, fainted, touched and groped me
literally, even slapped me, just to be sure and in no time, I had an audience
in front of their front door.
Word spread like forest fire and in no time, even before, I could
contact my dad, sister and brother in law, I was answering the weirdest set of
questions in front of a lot of cameras and channel mic’s.
It took a few doctors, experts in the field of the after
death, page 3 celebs and religious missionaries to rip my brain into pieces and
get their bit of fame via the various channels that ran my story nonstop from
morning to night and a few newspapers until the end of the week, before I could
lay eyes on my family.
Lol!
They hugged me and kissed me and before anyone realised,
whisked me off from there to my home sweet home J
They knew better than asking me questions of any sorts. I
guess the channels had covered up all the angles and I had fried my brains
until it was charred. A sumptuous meal, and occasional hugs and most
importantly a few daily chores, was all that was required to make me feel alive
and to be back from the dead!

Really a humorous take. Not wanting to come back.
Nice one Shruthi.
It reminds me of national television debates where the nation demands an answer asks Arnab Goswami about returning back to this world! True Desi style.
Lol!! I actually bought it :P
