Waiting to die...

I read an article in one of the leading national daily a couple of days before and it really distracted me.

The article talks about a house / apartment available for old age people who are on their last legs and want to attain mukthi by passing away at the banks of river ganges. By doing this they belive there is no re birth for them. Seems there is no charges if the person is a poor. This is being carried out by some individuals as a social activity.

Though there is a say by Kannadasan in one of his poem / song " Vandatu Therium, Povathu Engay, Vasal namakke theriyathu, Vandavar ellam thangi vittal , inda bhoomiyil namakke edam ethu? " - The crux of this lines are " We know our entry to this world , but we don't know our exit and if we all remain to stay in this mother earth, where will be the space in earth?'

But now with this facility , I feel people also want to know their exit point.
