Mandatory assumption : There’s life after death. Ghosts (co)exist.
With social networking becoming such an integral part of our daily lives , can we ever do without it ? What if FB/twitter is available to us even after death. Imagine social networking for the dead like say ‘Facebook Afterlife’ for the perished , I mean the ghosts.
Wouldn’t it be great to see Mahatma Gandhi tweeting – ' Hey Ram' and airing his views on non-violence and Anna Hazare Inc. Steve Jobs launching the new iPhone GhostEdition which allows ghosts to call their live kiths & kins from the heaven(or hell). Imagine apps like Ghostville and angry souls doing rounds. Can you imagine the likes of Don Bradman cheering – KayKayRRR! A Nargis item number going viral . The victims of the Titanic coming to the ghost premiere of James Cameron’s Titanic 3D . Mother Teresa expressing solidarity with the victims of land acquisition .
The FB Afterlife profiles may contain new information fields like say
Day of Death (errrr...i don’t know how ghosts will wish each other on this day)
Cause of death
Mode of disposal : cremation / burial / buried at sea / Yet to be disposed
Number of Affairs
Worth of property bequeathed
Would like to be reborn as : Human/Animal/Insect/Aquatic Creatures/Others
Unfulfilled desire
