I read this book day before. It was good. Though I do not believe in “after-life” and “heaven”, the book was interesting for bringing out the connectedness between human beings.
We all have this feeling of a “separate” entity. This feeling is not wrong. It’s natural. However, connecting to others and realizing that others lives are interconnected with ours, helps in empathizing with others.
The story starts with the death of the main character and continues with “five people” he meets in heaven and how they “influenced” his life.
I was thinking of the same. Assuming that there is a so-called heaven and after-life, I would be curious to know who those “five” people would be in my life.
For this quarter century of my life, I would love “Bruno” to be one of the people I meet in heaven. I mean one of the dogs I meet in heaven. I would give anything to touch him again, to pull his ears, to sleep next to him and to tease him.
Who would you like to meet in heaven?

Is heaven reserved for everyone?. I’m not sure about me at least.
, Shah Jahan what all atrocities he did, Newton, find out if it was really the apple? Jesus, if he had relationship with Mary Magdalene. Yama DharmaRaja, how they are maintaining the whole database. Thats all, actually the list goes on since it is 5.. these are on priority
I think heaven and hell would be connected by internet, thanks to the IT boom.
so wherever I go I’ll try to catch up with Nehru and find out how many affairs he had
