Part-2 Yama presents his project

Too many technical bullets pinging inside his heads, proved to be little too much and Brahma decided to avail a break. He looked at Yama and said, “I am taking a break at this point. If you have any urgent issues, deal with them and come back. Then you can present on your IRRAG project.”

Yama did not have any pressing issues except this.  Chitragupta was told to take as long as needed and disappear if you have to whereas in my case he could give me only a brief break. The only mention of appreciation, which included Chitragupta also, received was that ways would be found, to master the complex problems.

 Miffed and with time on hand, he utilised this it, to model his presentation, more or less on the lines drawn by Chitragupta. Not knowing how Brahma would react, he felt apprehensive. On the positive side, Brahma’s might offer similar helps to him also. His probing questions to improve the clarity and direction would benefit him and the project. Yet he could not avoid butterflies doing sorties in his stomach.

 Brahma had received loud and clear the disgruntled brainwaves from Yama. In a conciliatory tone, he addressed, “You might have felt letdown, when I pre-empted and declared that you had found what you wanted to. Taking it in the right spirit, you did not show resentment. Sensing a show down, you diplomatically intervened and pacified us to cool down to carry on further discussions, under conducive atmosphere. Rest assured, it is impossible to find you wanting under any circumstance.”

 As if nothing has happened, Brahma indicated his readiness. Bringing the butterflies , on sortie runs, in to the hangar, Yama he began:

“Even cursed souls would feel at home, if provided with modern facilities. The cave-dweller mentality has vanished a long ago and now, some of these souls have become sophisticated, inventing cutting-edge technologies, expanding realms of science, medicine and the universe, authoring revolutionary theories backed by mathematical equations, that run into pages. Quirk of fate or cosmic glitch, these cursed souls have residence in the hall of raging fire. In the modernisation drive, the scarry torture chambers will be redesignated as soul reformation cellular centers.

The IRRAG project is the corner stone and two pronged. In the first step, modernise the hall of raging fire by constructing individual cellular units with computerised climatic control. Feed the biodata of the assigned soul, and the rest is automatic, like hands free driving. The population of ordinary souls and de-entangled souls will be happy and no hassles.” 

“How this project will control the crowd of 'entangled souls at the gates’, which nowadays, seems to be growing and unruly?”

 The second step of this project addresses this. Instead of a conducted tour through the hall of raging fire, the entangled souls will be made to walk through a hot canopy-enclosure, of considerable length and get disentangled. Then onwards, further processing proceeds smoothly.  Each soul needs a specific treatment. This bio-data based operation is entirely left to the computers, for execution. 

A backup awareness programme /campaign, will be regularly conducted at earth, to emphasise that the quantum mechanics applies only to living beings and not to souls, that have to pass through YamLok.  At this stage the souls seeking entangled pairs have two options - hold on and wander in the empty space or relinquish, enter YamLok to complete the life cycle. Ultimately, the wandering souls also have to come to YamLok to reside.

Brahma was literally levitating from his seat. He was astonished, as Yama has been skillfully hiding behind the facade of ......why??

The concept looks simple enough. Then why your face is showing lines and ridges?

I am also facing technical problems, in the form of multiple options. The problems and solutions are becoming more complex.

Is it not better to have options? Suppose you have a problem in the first line and find the solution in the second line. Likewise, solve all in two steps. End of matter. 

Not so, for the super intelligent scientists, we are dealing with. Initially, they also do the same. Then comes a peer review. This group, populated by similar intelligentsia, do postmortem reviews, suggest embellishments. This back and forth comes to a stage, where below the first line many more lines, with confusing symbols get added and the last line ends with the same answer arrived in the original second line. 

Exasperated Brahma commented, “This looks needless and ridiculous, to say the least. Anyhow, tell me why the symbols confuse you?”

Two reasons. One, each symbol, again stands for another string of symbols and calculations. Two, it really beats me how in their tiny mind-space, these people keep, remember, retrieve and use them to confuse the others in the end.

For a moment forget the symbols and move on to highlight areas of concern. We will try to butt our heads and find a way out. This statement of Brahma had the desired effect. With the secure knowledge of backing, Yama proceeded to…..

Yama what is the first option, is it not infra something?

Yes, it was. But during detailed discussions, all sort of options fell in a heap on the table. Along with the scientists, Chitragupta too lent his idea to enlarge the scope.

What did he do?

Confident about his project, getting off quickly, he inserted his maser idea as an option.

But was he not telling us, that it has many unresolved issues?

Yes. Unfortunately, he floated the idea took place before the maser technique was discussed. 

Simply, that option could have been kept aside at that point. One option closed.

But the super intelligent scientists adamantly refused to drop the option. Argued that an option once considered should not be discarded, suggesting working around the problem is the solution. As this exactly gives them with an opportunity, to research and present another paper, of course after peer reviews.

Are these people so strong willed that you two could not prevail upon them? Now do you understand why my predecessor cautiones about cosmic surprises and smart species!

Now back to the discussion. What else are the irritants needing redressal?

The scientists are veering some more and have come up with a layered thermal concept. 

Do one thing. Tell them to build a working model and demonstrate their layered thermal thing. Obviously. If I correctly guess, they would split hairs to get the funds from us. We will give. Also advise them that we would like to personally witness a live demonstration.

Suppose they don't fall easily for this, then what happens?

A negotiator does not dump all his inducements at the same time. The important concession is revealed, when everything fails.

After offering so much. What else is left to negotiate with?

Me and my plan to build a new facility here ....

Whether the scientists will be happy or not, Yama felt very happy for three reasons. One, effectively Brahma had taken over the project, by heavily investing in it. Two, his solutions were simple- one liners or at the most two or three lines. Three, no peer reviews and several more lines of symbols and calculations to be tackled.

Yama, apprise me after achieving break throughs in your negotiations. Forget not to take Chitragupta along, he might fish out sharks without lure. With this passing comment, Brahma left the place. As he walked away, he became aware of something disturbing. A passionate and impromptu panel discussion started among his heads. The hot topic, being himself, worried him.

The front head pointed out a bias - Chitragupta being his protégé enjoyed more leeway. The head at the back refuted it by saying Yama also enjoyed a closeness. The left side head aired a worry about Brahma spending more time in YamLok. Will this not be construed as a domain tress pass? The right head short stopped further discussion - like among his four heads, there is no distinction and earmarked domains for the Trimurthys.  Don't expect or create a conflict.
