Place of Birth and especially the Place of Death are often neglected areas of macabre research. On the subject, the Philadelphia-born comedian W.C.Fields' cheeky yet candid suggestion for his own tombstone epitaph reads:
"Here lies W. C. Fields. I would rather be living in Philadelphia."
The decade old Microsoft X-Box 'Life is Short, Play More' advertisement (above) captures the trite 'Life is a Journey' expression literally. The emphasis is inadvertently not on on the actual elaborate scalar distance covered but the vector-geometric concept of displacement - the effective spatial journey covered in life to 'eternal rest'.
On
page 8 of today's Time of India (Hyderabad version), an obituary
message declared yet another beloved dog's passing away a year ago. The
owners/family came out with not just the Date of Birth and Death of
Death but also quite uniquely - the places of these events. Unlike the
more popular human destination of Heaven and the significantly
less trendy Hell, dogs apparently prefer a different place of 'Eternal
Rest' - Hyderabad!

The video contains an awesome message to all that Yes, Life is short. One day you have to go back from where you have come. So, do good and bring good deeds with you.
