Rohit Resigns (A short story)

Rohit was a middleaged man with almost no success in his life. He used to be stressed in office. The moment he stepped inside his house, his wife used to start complaining and telling him all the problems. His two kids would continuously bicker and fight. He thought life was hell and it was no use resigning from his job,better to resign from life.He connected to internet and wrote an e-mail.
God,
I want to resign from life.
Regards,
Rohit

In the address he put god@heaven.com and sent it. As most things in his life he thought this would fail. However to his surprise he got a reply within seconds. the reply said "I will request you to reconsider, will talk after 3 days, God". Wow, at the time he resigned from his last company his boss had done the same thing. Rohit promptly replied back saying "OK I will re-consider". The situation was no different 3 days later so Rohit on the fourth day sent a mail to God saying his decision to resign from life was final. God replied "OK meet me at Grand Cafe at 6:00 pm, I will come to meet you in the form of an old man". Rohit reached on time, an old man came along and started talking to him. He first said "you are a valuable contributor". Rohit wondered God never had the time in these 40 years to tell him that. Amazingly in the previous company too his boss who used to rude and arrogant had made the same statement for the first time after he resigned. God informed Rohit "If you choose now to resign then you are sure to go to hell however if you choose another role then I can consider you for heaven later". Rohit immediately said "ok make me Prime Minister then 1 No. Movie Star and then captain of indian cricket team. I will choose which one is better and decide". God agreed "From tomorrow you are the PM". Rohit went home and slept. Next morning he was woken up at 4:00 am and was surprised he was at different location. He was in the PM's residence. A man came and offered breakfast and then another man came with an agenda for the day an 18 hour work schedule.Rohit was traumatized to see the problems the country was facing. He got hold of a computer and sent a mail. This is enough I would like to see my next role. The next morning at 2:00 am a man walked in to his bedroom and said the shot is ready. He quickly realised that he was producing the 50 crore film himself. What if the film flopped how would he return the money to financiars? Without batting an eyelid he sent a mail to God "please assign me my next role". Immediately he found himself at the New Delhi airport. He realised he was returning back from Pakistan where the team had been humiliated. There were reporters waiting to grill him. Immediately Rohit got hold of a PC at the airport and sent a mail to god "please assign me my original role". God replied "I knew this, go and continue your life, everyday do your best without thinking about the result, I am there always to guide you, good luck".
