I was rushing . My mind was not functioning properly. I was tired of my life . I was tired of me! I was fed up. I walked at a fast pace beside the market and in my anger I failed to see that I was in the middle of the busy road . Suddenly I felt a force that shook me all my good parts .Without a blink of an eye ,I was blown by a mighty speedy truck that appeared from no where .
Amidst the crowd I was lying with my eyes open and the pain that sued me shutted the world outside .
"Nurse, hurry up, switch on the oxygen supply", said a voice impatiently, "There is internal bleeding which is not a good sign.Doctor , his systolic pressure is coming down then expected. what to do ? " The feeble sound were entering into my ear giving me an idea that I was in a critical situation. i could hear my heart lounder each time and then suddenly i was given an electeric shock .
"damnit! these doctors are crazy , what is the point of giving such a high current "my mind blasted as i was in no mood to show recovery sign when a doctor said " he has gone in coma . " The operation finally eneded after two hours.
"So I am suffering from Coma???Yeah , i heard about this that it is a deep slumber caused due to severe injury"my heart felt good because I was away from all the mess of the world.
the feeble sound died . I was left all alone in this room where i was being operated.I mind was relaxing when I heard somebody's voice. I was pulled out of my body by an external force . As I stood up or shall i say my soul came out of the body that housed me from past 24 years seemed broken.
" so , how are you, son !!" I was startled as who would be talking to me .A man was standing, but no he was something else as his features didn't resembled the physique of a human being . he didnt has a shadow. I was scared and a thought indulged that why this person was addressing me as Son.
"who are you??"i asked the thing with a scariness.
"the ultimate" came the reply.
"i did't understand "i said
"like always i have to use that word only you use to describe me on Earth"
so here it is! I am God. Really did god exist? i came closer to him and poke him, " yeah ! it was rteally him" ." Namastey Bhagwaan "i said as these were the manners to address someone elder to us in my country and HE who was standing in front of me was God. I still could not make out HE was HE!
i was in my thoughts only when he said "do you want to live or die?"" what ?"
"son, you are deing before time as you were not on the deathlist so i give you an option that whether u want to live or come along with me "
"so God also do have schedule , like us but he was eagerly waiting for my reply and i said" i don't know"
" what you don't know?",he said with a surprise and added it was simply a do or die question . "but right now i am in coma na?"i asked him.
" no , these are your absurd human termed words to depress yourself. we can't afford a bed go waste so here you are asked either to live or die?"
"so God was also aware of deficient hospital facilties but that was rude . just i was occupying one bead in this whole universe , i am posed this question .
"listen , we got other plans also as if you are not shifted to another ward , a lady will die who should not .It is a long story , netherless tell me your decision.
" can you give me some time?" i asked with a doubt ."hmmmmmm. " there was a long paise when he said you can have one hour . but nyot more than that ." Just one hour lord, !!i complained when he irked , "you, humans are dilemmas .How can you expect me to give an year."
w
"anyway , i am going to finish other matters also , meanwhile make a decision.", he said ." ok" was my reply.and he vanished leaving me with my body in the room that bore ICU name plate both inside and outside.
hmmm,i sighed as what to do . lets start from the start. i was born 24 years back in a middle class family. My father is a Businessman by profession and my mom is a house maker . I passed my secondary education . I never loved logical things. I was at sea in all of them but was a big chatterbox. . I wanted to be a stand-up comedian. I love to make people laugh. In my school, I ended up making my principal laugh when she was very vulnerable.. But dad wanted me to go for somethimg else but not this as it was not that good a profession to feed yourself. I was disappointed but I was also very adamant as it was my career. I took arts and went to Mumbai , posted videos on facebook , twitter and youtube. But the response was very lukewarm. I was in complete obscurity for two years . Because of my stubborn attitude I left my home , my city , was completely cut -off from my family except my darling sister.
But the way i was offended in the pub today while i was cracking jokes , it trangressed all boundaries. I don't know whether my jokes did't suite them but it was no good of them to say me as a son of a jerk . First i took it they were kidding but their abuses increased over and over again. In that frustration I have ended here !!
No good reason was there to live ,all were against mine . But what about Riya and Ronak , the friends of mine in my adversity .These two would be affected deeply but the main thing was dad and mom. I should live for him because I can't see him in pain , heart broken at the death of his son. But no I am not going to be something else. I want to be a copmedian only, I feel good when I make people laugh. I was recaptivating my life .but this movie will finish in 35 minutes.yeah after that I m dead. suddenly the door opened and now I have to go to my body. "
I zoomed in when a old man of sixety-five on a wheel chair entered the room . I could make this out from the voice and the age was asked by the doctor and the nearby nurse answered it.
I could here the weeping of a child and there were positive remarks like i will be fine , don't you worry . It is just a matter of two hours . I couldnot see anything but the voice seemed to be very jubiliant in its own manner.
The door closed and by the noises I got it that he was made lied on the bed for operation. The doctor said," So , ready Mr Kotra." I was amused at this point of behaviour as it was not expected by a person like a doctor. my instinct as a comedian was on when an old , harsh voice asked -" Doctor, what is the chance of my survival ? Tell me please . "
This thing was unexpected. i was expecting , " save me !" The doctor said " 15 percent. " I was wondering when God came . Yeah this time in my unconsciousness becauuse human beings were there. I asked the God about time. he was 15 minutes early . he asked me ," have you made your decision!"
I said " yes, i want to die ."
" hmmm", came the reply. But other then a comedian i was curious and asked him," i wanted to ask you about the man who is being operated by the doctors , what has happened to him?"
" hmm , just donated his wife his second kidney and unfortunately his kidney has failed . He was living on dialyses the whole year but expenses, now he is finally having a surgeory ."
" will , he survive ?", i asked curiously .
" I don't think so , but yeah , he is the bread winner for his family . As his son died leaving behind his wife and son on him ."
"his wife died recently only but what i could do ?I was helpless in this case."
" how , but why ??"
" never mind , come along with me ."
" No , lord . Not this time , I canot come ."
" Don't tell me you are vascillating your decision . "
" God , I won't come now , just assume that I know how to deal with adversities . "
There was a flash of smile on his face and probably , I got the solution of my problems."
I woke and felt my body but ther was constant strain on my head . " it is a miracle , the patient has returned from coma." said voice full of zest.
my eyes flickered as light streamed in to my optics. " What happened to you ? Are you crazy ?" i heard the angry voices and they were none other than riya and ronak .
I tried to get up and holding my head in my arms i just said ," I want to make a lot of my life. It took some time to make a decision but it is never too late !"
