Death makes no difference

..though i really don't want to mention it that's the truth ..Death of a person makes no difference ....

If a place called hell is there , it is no where but on this planet Earth , right , right under our feet . Today we went to dad's house in My lapore and even though i wanted to avoid the adventure i could not just push Hd and be at home . So there we were in the auto with a cylinder , all the related papers and a small cylinder to fill at any private outlet . Just look at the process of changing the address and name of the gas holder's name . You need to get the address proof of the person who is not there int his world.Just imagine this , the person has disappeared and you need a address proof of him .So i and Hd went to nanna's bank and got the expired rental agreement .

Nanna promised the watch man of the bank to give his bike for a very nominal sum . So looking at both of us his face glowed and he smiled most sheepishly and sweetly . It was kind of funny actually . We gave him the papers and asked him to collect the bike by 2 o clock .

So after taking the papers we went back to the agency and they terminated dad's connection and gave us a new one under third party connection . It was soo sad to see dad's signature on the papers and leave them to fill ours . Its the small things like these that make us realize that one day when we are not there on this planet , its not going to make any difference at all .
Dear dad , i need to tell one thing , you were perfect in providing us all the things we needed in this life , and it would have been really great if you were there here , sharing all the things of happiness with us , but looks like god had different plans for you . And the saddest thing is the way things get replaced when we are not there , they are just done by some one else .

After some confusion again , the present connection is cancelled and transferred to Hd's name since he is the only one having address proof. And the giggling watchman comes gives me 1000 bucks instead of the agreed 2000 and smiles again cleverly saying he needs some bucks for the repair of the bike . Man , the way people react when money is in between .Well i was in no mood for any argument took the new 5Rs bundle from him and again boarded the same auto and came back to noalumbur .

The last connections with Mylapore are closed , but the memories will always be there . Some times bringing a smile and soem times making me sad . I wonder how many more such experiences are there in store in different forms , different situations . Ugggggh!! this life.
