Welcome to elsewhere...

           Recently while searching for books, I found a pdf named Elsewhere. Initially when I started to read, i found it a really childish novel. around 20 pages I found what was really going on and then I started to get angry on that girl named Liz.
           Well angry for this because, books theme is based on after life. It depicts an idea of existing another parallel world where we get to live our life backwards and then when we become little babies again one day we get the birth on the earth again.
           So the girl gets pretty upset when she hears about all this stuff, and she wants to go back to earth.
The only question my mind was yelling that, why? why? why?
           why would anyone wanna come back to the getting old, fear of dying, and another many reasons which makes living forward difficult? Elsewhere sounds like perfect place where we can never get old, we get to choose any job we want through acclamation something. we get younger day by day, there is beach, and man there are people of our ages too. we get to live with people we once lost. Its like a perfect idea for afterlife.
         but apart from this, story goes on well, finally liz found her life worthwhile living in elsewhere. she grows backwards and get born as a baby again.
          when I was thinking about this, I found myself so excited about the concept of having such arrangement after our death. well who knows what happens to our soul, or where our thoughts goes. Its like so much mystery to explore.
        Well for me, i found death very fascinating. Its like making our life worth living. Its like after solving a 3 hours paper when you get the answer key. for entire life we have been thinking about what we should do, what we shouldn't do. and finally we are going to figure this all out at the end.
       I have a death wish like thing in my mind. I wish all the  thoughts people think, all the imaginary world they create they must be existing somewhere. I wish, there must be a Harry potter world, or twilight world where all the things the people imagined should be true. as if they were there, and now they imagined the part of worlds they had been, and we get to choose where we want to live in after we stop breathing. after we stop living or for an instance stop existing on earth.
       Maybe it seems too lame to think about something we are not going to find out until we went through it. but still its pretty creative though...
:)
so welcome to elsewhere... where you never get old, sick, no fear of death, and plus you know what is going to be your end. Thanks a lot for thinking this awesome idea.
