Pooja closed her eyes after a feeble effort to sit up. The fear of death engulfed her from all the corners and finally she fell victim of it.

"Where am I?" she asked facing funny human-like figure in front of her.

"Madam, this is the office of the majesty Yamadharmaraaya, Could #420, 120,000 light years off Swarglok, Yamalok, PIN LXXVii. I am Chitragupt. Can I help you?" asked CG.

"I have a feeling I know this place!!" Pooja said as she looked around confused.

"Of course ma'am you'd have seen it four times exactly. After all, you are a native of this place." promptly answered CG.

"What do you mean native of the place? What kind of a place is this!!", she exclaimed after she stared at things around her.

"Ma'am this is an auspicious place where people are brought after death if they've committed deadly sins. And you are our privileged customer!! We are glad to have you here for the fifth time in a row" said CG with a broad smile.

"But I find this place, ultra modern!!" asserted Pooja.

"Oh that ma'am is coz of the refugees from other places. We were asked to accommodate foreigners here. There were Romans, recently Americans. The Romans changed our pin code into an unreadable number. And an American, Mr. Heal fates transformed this place into what it is now when he was here after he died of MICRObial infection in his previous incarnation. He promised to make earth a better place to live in. We asked him the proof of concept and so here it is.", said CG proudly.

"Heal fates??? Who's that?? ", asked Pooja innocently.

"Here's your sin# 1,2342435. How could you forget Bill Gates, the proud owner of MICROsoft, the then Heal fates???" said CG badly angered.

Pooja looked around with intent eyes. She was a little scared about the darkness surrounding her. She and the man, whom she was talking to, were the only ones under the light.

CG continued – "We now have a simple way to track people and their sins. We can also analyze various aspects of it. One such analysis is the prediction of your future. It says, you'd keep visiting us till the 7^th time which is after your last incarnation"

Pooja was angered by his words to a great extent. "Can you tell me what sins I've committed that I deserve to come here??"

"Sure. Why not?? Could you please step into our server room?" pointing at a door on his left.

The "server room" looked empty. Very few lights were flickering here and there. .

CG waved his hands horizontally and a screen came up. It looked close to our IE web pages. It read "Welcome dear Pooja. Nice to meet you again. You've made my job easy as always, for, this is the first thing you are always curious about. Here's your list of sins. Your sins are added up from your very first birth. Take a look at the screen now"

The next page read as follows –

When you were a mosquito:

• Poor defending skills. You were eaten by a fly even before you opened your eyes as soon as you were born

When you were a tigress:

• You ate grass!! What a shame on your tribe!!

When you were an elephant:

• You were killed by a colony of ants when they attacked your nostrils.

When you were a monkey:

• You let the cap seller take you as a captive and let him advertise you for selling his caps.

"The above acts of yours cannot be granted forgiveness in any case. No wonder you are here." said CG.

"Well, those are the stupidest reasons I've ever come across. I won't take it. I want to hire a lawyer to argue for me." She shouted.

"Well ma'am I'm afraid that is not possible. Nobody goes against the rules here. Well, as you happen to be our privileged customer, I will give you a choice. If you admit your latest sin, maybe I can help you out convincing the king Yama in setting you free!!"

"And what is it this time? Did I do something that put the humans into shame??"asked Pooja her ears pricked.

"You see it yourself ma'am" said CG.

There she saw on the screen a huge list!! She couldn't believe her eyes.

Of them all, there was one which caught her attention. It read:

• You just left Pankaj uncared for, who was so much in love with you.

She started to cry after reading that.

"I don't agree to any of these sins listed. Leave me alone." She said and pushed CG out of the room and locked herself in.

She sat in the corner of the room thinking about Pankaj. "I really did love Pankaj. I was just so scared that my parents wouldn't agree and I would badly disappoint him. So tried to stay away as much as possible. I am pretty sure I wouldn't find anyone as much loving and caring as Pankaj."

She happened to turn towards the screen and noticed a web page called – "Poogle" Below was an option to enable the keypad. She followed instructions and she could find the system very similar to a lappy."

She typed the following text in the URL field: http://www.afteridie.com/. Nothing happened the 2 seconds. Then what she saw was her personal website which prompted for her password. She entered it. She was happy that her login was successful. She wrote there about everything that she wished to do atleast after death. She wrote about all her fantasies. Without wasting much time, she followed links and finally hit a page called "my love". She started to read. She relived those days as she read through. The last phrase in her post read – "Wish to be yours atleast after my death". Now that she was dead, she looked forward to meet Pankaj. She re read it again and again and suddenly the door opened.

She saw a horrific figure there and fell unconscious.

When she woke up next, it was Pankaj sitting next to her. His eyes were filled with tears of joy. She was stunned to find herself cuddled in his arms. She attempted to take herself off him when Pankaj said – "Why hadn't you told me all these years about your love for me? Why did you make me wait so much? Say that you love me, once."

"I am dead Pankaj. Marry someone else and stay happy.", replied Pooja.

The tears in his eyes evaporated instantly and there were thunderous laughters following.

"You only had fallen unconscious after a drink!! My boys put up a fantastic show. Thanks to them. Had I not visited your website, I'd have lost you forever!! I thought you really hated me!!" said Pankaj.

Slowly she recognized the CG and the horrific figure Yama. J
