Yam goes to Shiv and starts complaining about the overload
and stress he is subjected to because of increasing number of suicides.

Shiv: (Shiv is in playful mood) Is this an excuse to demand
some latest app for death alerts or upgrading Chitragupta’s software?

Yam: No lord, I easily
negotiate free apps and softwares in lieu of additional few minutes of their
lives. Lord, though with deeds accounting software, Chitragupta no longer has
to manually calculate the deeds of human life and with e transfer of the dead,
my traveling time has reduced, the increase in number of suicide cases is a
matter of immediate concern. As no software is available for these
unpredictable deaths, I have to personally travel and handle these cases. I
tried developing the software with Steve minutes before his death and I promised
to grant him additional life if he could build one. He tried his best and built
one app. While we tested the app, several users logged in. The system crashed
down and so did Steve’s life.

Yam: (interrupting) No doubts that unlike earlier, we do not
have to segregate the waste and we simply dumb the entire stock in hell and rebirths
due to deterioration of human race. But what do we do of these suicide cases?
We cannot dispose them off in hell. There is no possibility of rebirths either
due to untimely arrival.

Shiv is looking perplexed too.
Yam: Earlier our strategies were directed towards increasing
production but now we are focusing on distribution and decongestion as
production is rising day by day.

Indeed digitalization has increased your productivity without giving additional

times immortal, I lack experience in handling this situation.

Yam: (Joins hands and bows down, Yam goes in flashback)
Lord, while attending the call of a 27 year young man, Aman, who committed
suicide due to unemployment, I saw a postman delivering some documents. Upon
seeing the document, Aman’s soul started violently pleading me to let it go
back to the body. Aman had just received a job letter. It could have brought an
end to Aman’s debt crisis and he could have
leaved in peace with his family if he had executed some patience. This is the
case with each and every suicide case I have handled. They plead, fight,
request and beg of me to give them one last chance to go back to their life, no
matter how bad it was. They confess that while taking the step they were under extreme pressure. While they were about to come closer to the end, they
wanted to desperately reverse the death they had invited.

So, in few moments, Lord, I reached the refugee camp with
Aman where the suicide cases are kept. He receives wrath and contempt of the
fellow inmates. Since all the inmates are filled with remorse and hatred for
themselves, they cannot welcome someone who is as foolish as them. Aman looks
around and suddenly lands a tight slap on 14 year old Suraj.

Aman: “Are less marks any reason to commit suicide? Reading
in newspapers daily about toddlers like you committing suicide, I got
encouraged to do it myself. I thought if such little ones can do, why can’t I? (putting
Suraj’s chin up) Can’t you work harder next time and compensate for the loss?”

“Exactly, That’s true for you too. No job is not a reason
for committing suicide for youngsters like you”, came a quick rebut from Asha who committed suicide due to severe mental
and physical torture from her in laws and the alcoholic husband. “You are
young, healthy and capable of hard work. If people like you do not conquer
challenges, who else will?”

“Exactly, That’s true for you too”, comments Bajirao, the
farmer from Marathwada who committed suicide as he had nothing left to repay
the debts after losing his huge farm and life savings. “You could have
complained to Mahila Aayog, police or friends even though your own parents disowned
you. You could have also retaliated back, put up a fight against your in laws.”

Aggrieved Yam is explaining Shiv about situation at the
camp.
camp.
Yam: This is the scene everyday at the camp, Lord. They
commit suicide to bring an end to their problems but instead of getting free
from their problems, these souls remain perpetually attached to them. They want
revenge, they want the tormentors to be punished. In many cases, these so
called tormentors are not even real troublemakers. Many a times, these stressed
humans who commit suicide identify normal situations as grave and amplify their
reactions. They lose hope, discretion and patience and jump to the conclusions literally. They remain attached to their
impulsive decisions till eternity. Humans have started using death as a tool to
equal scores.

Shiv: (Appearing a little grim) “A two point theory working
at multiple layers is your solution.

The crisis needs to target Two major issues:
1. Prevent suicides
2. Take care about

Only Two factors
can avert the suicides:
can avert the suicides:
1. Knowledge
2. Law
What motivates suicide aspirants the most? Two important factors:
1. The belief that Death will end their problems
2. The vindictiveness.
A person who does ill to me should face ill, remains core to a rajas and tamas human nature. Individuals who desperately want to punish
their opponents but consider themselves weaker than their opponents take
recourse to suicides.

The motivation working at the above two levels needs to be
curbed done instantly. The truth behind the contrived belief that Death will
end problems should be brought to light. The
only means to end an individual’s sufferings is through the individual himself.
When the individual kills himself, he brings an end to the solution. Children
should be educated in schools about the philosophy of life and death. The
knowledge of the importance of human species, its power and capabilities need
to be a part of school curriculum.

Death will remain a tool for revenge and vindictiveness till
we continue to treat humans committing suicide as victims and the abetting
factors as accused. If laws discourage the suicide aspirants by not accusing
the tormentors in case the suicide aspirants die, the latter will not take
recourse to death as a tool to punish the perceived tormentors. The information
about suicide cases to the masses has no relevance towards building
constructive society. Hence, media should be regulated from reporting and
sensationalizing the suicide cases as the suicide aspirants derive further
encouragement from the media reports of other like-minded brethren.

Chitragupta comes rushing looking for Yam. He bows down

Chitragupta: (looking frantic) “Yamdev, the souls are

Shiv nods his head and gives his consent for Yam to leave.
Yam reaches the camp.
All souls come forward and request Yam: “We are tired, we are
so desperately looking to break away from this routine. We want to be out of
it. Please help.”

“There is only one way”, Yam softly utters.
A complete silence spreads across the camp. Souls look
