We know space is a premium everywhere these days. Therefore you have multistoreyed buildings instead of cottages and cubicles instead of offices and nanos instead of sedans. All that is understandable. But this new brainwave has given me the jitters. Many countries are now planning to make the dead share graves to solve the space crunch. Cant afford so much (dead) space per person, they say. Put in two in place of one...! And you can do nothing about it. Because you may rave and rant when people invade your personal space in life. You can get away with that. But when you are dead you cant protest, can you? They'll lay you to rest beside some stranger for eternity. Go figure!
You cant wrinkle your nose if you find the body odour offensive, cant step back to maintain arm's length, cant scowl, stare, yell, ask them to get lost!
Aren't I glad I'm a Hindu?
