REPUBLISHED for the BENEFIT of THOSE who are just awake.

LIFE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN IRONY.

A PUZZLE OR A RIDDLE.

IT STARTS WITH MOST OF US

SEARCHING FOR THE BEST

AND 

SETTLING WITH THE WORST.

I CONCEDE I COULD HAVE SAID 
RECONCILING WITH THE WORST.

I NEED NOT SAY:

APPLY THIS THEORY TO ANY SPHERE 
YOU ENTERED 

PICTURE COURTESY: GOOGLE.

AND YOU WILL FIND IT TRUE.

HOWEVER, WITH A WARNING THAT

WHAT FOLLOWS DOES NOT FOLLOW WHAT IS SAID Above

READ ALONG....
be cool. don't get angry.

QUITE RECENTLY, OUR CENTRAL OFFICE HAS BEEN KIND ENOUGH TO ISSUE INSTRUCTIONS TO ALL THE OFFICES, TO ENSURE THAT ALL RETIRED PEOPLE , PENSIONERS INCLUDED, ARE PROVIDED WITH FRESH IDENTITY CARDS.

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE CO CIRCULAR.

WHEN THE CRANKY EDITOR CALLED ON ONE OF HIS FRIENDS TO INFORM THIS, HE WONDERED WHETHER HE HAD ONE AT ALL.   HE SAID IN ANY CASE PEOPLE MUST BE REMEMBERING HIM.
"YOU KNOW I RETIRED AS DY.ZONAL MANAGER." he added.

I did not interrupt him to say:

IN THE YEAR 1994  OF COURSE.

HE WAS HOWEVER HAPPY THAT HE IS BEING ISSUED AN ID. 

TO MY QUERY AS TO WHY , HE profusely laughed and DID NOT HESITATE TO bounce back shouting  THAT EVEN CREMATION GROUNDS HAVE STARTED ASKING FOR AADHAR CARD AND PROOF OF DEATH.

 HE WAS SURE THAT QUITE LIKELY OUR OFFICE OS DEPT ENSURES THAT APART FROM EMPLOYEE ROLL NO WHICH WE CALL SR NO, AADHAR CARD NO IS ALSO ENCRYPTED. A SIMPLE REFERENCE TO OUR MEDICLAIM POLICY NUMBER WOULD ALSO HELP BUT SINCE THE NUMBER CHANGES FROM YEAR TO YEAR, LET US LEAVE IT TO THEIR FINAL DECISION. (which must be as perfect as their recent decision of the applicability of Jains case)

I WONDERED IF pensioner being over 80, the AADHAR CARD may not be there , THEN ?

HE SAID , no problem. Cremation grounds may allow  PAN CARD , OR PASSPORT OR DRIVING LICENSE WOULD BE ENOUGH !

SURELY, I SAID, WHEN WE START DRIVING TO OUR NATURAL HOME WHICH IS HEAVENS (OR HELL, IF YOU WISH TO SUBSTITUTE) THIS ID WOULD NATURALLY HELP US.

"NOW THAT YOU THINK OF DRIVING TO HEAVENS..." MY FRIEND CONTINUED, "YOU MUST BE KNOWING SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT DEATH. "

SEE HERE HE SAID.
