Bottle Numbered 1

Varun while eating his lunch the other day suddenly said,'Ma our body is like the coca-cola bottle which has number 1 written under it(these bottles are not for use like other plastic bottles which can be used again and again)... use and throw, once we die the soul leaves the body and that is the end of the body just like the bottle once we drink the coke we have to throw the bottle and cannot use it again.'
It really surprised me to hear him talk like that and i wanted to understand where did this thinking come from and i asked him. His answer was very simple," I was thinking about the book 'The Deathly Hallows' in which Harry Potter looks at the shell of Voldemort and then it suddenly came to me that our body is just a shell and it can be used only once."
I was amazed that a ten year old could analyse, connect things and put it across in such a simple way.
