U n I in this beautiful universe.. !!

I and my teammate Shyam were talking today about this new concept of Social Security Number(SSN) introduced recently in india. I am generally quite apprehensive about such things involving paper work and indian government.But it had been quite a boring day so far so just to alleviate my boredom, I had asked him what this is all about. He explained to me that currently when a person relocates from one city to another while changing the company, if his newly created Provident Fund(PF) account is in different zone then for getting his money transferred between these accounts involves a lot of paper work and passing them up and down, So with SSN being related to the account holder rather than accounts, it would be easier for the government to track and club the money for these accounts together.

On his explanation I blurted "Hey this is similar to having an identification number for the resident of a country as they have in US". "Yeah may be later on they wud be doing it as SSN is a 14 digit number, they may use it for that." He said.

"But it may also happen that by the time this thing is implemented, count of our population is not able to be represented by that 14 digit number", I said jokingly."Then what will happen where will we reside?", He threw another doubt out of his inquisitiveness.

"May be beneath the ground as well, like we have made multi storeyed skyscrapers above the ground, similarily we may be making mutli story earthscrapers beneath the ground." I said shurgging my shoulders and making a serious face.
"And yeah it may also happen, that those people living beneath will then evolve differently from the people living on or above the ground as the environmental conditions will be different for them and there will no more be racism or castism based on color or creed but it would be more about being from the underworld(the world under-ground) or not ..", He added even more seriouly.

"With so many people to live and so less of a space, we will have to explore our galaxy.. First one to be attacked upon and engulfed will be our dear Mamujaan(Maternal-uncle) Moon.", I said smiling sarcastically.

"Yeah and all gigantic MNCs will have offices over there and some fortunate people will be sent to onsite on moon. Going to United States will not have that charm any more, it would be more like going on a deputation and even Americans will drool over onsite oppurtunities." He said.
"Poor guy..still having intact desires for onsite even after missing several opportunities out of bad luck..May he get one soon... Amen.. !!", I prayed silently.

Having quite a religious/Bollywood oriented attitude I couldn't help thinking about role of moon in our culture/movies , I said "Hey then women will no more have to wait for the glance of full moon for breaking their Karwa Chauth fast as they can have accurate information on mobile from people across the planet and plan accordingly and same thing is applicable for Id-ul-zuha", I said.

Mobiles.. yes it was going to be next topic for discussion for us.
"Then if you are on moon, you can still stay connected with people on the earth having activated your interplanet roaming.And then hutch(now vodafone) network's all favorite pug will also have wings to make him enable to follow us when we move from one planet to another .. " I said and we both bursted into laughs and Sung together

"You and I in this beautiful universe.. :)"
