Death and After

This book by Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer explores thoughts on what happens after one dies.
After the death of his dear wife, Iyer starts with the exploration of things that happen to the soul of the dead person. He has compiled a whole book of quotations with people who have had near death experiences and who have been revived through electric currents. Most of the quotations describe a painless feeling with bright light and a floating sensation. Some of the quotes sounded like cliche, but I suppose people took their thoughts from those who had experienced death.
It was an interesting book to read. The first chapter was quite touching with the Justice narrating the string of events that eventually ended with the death of his wife. Although the quotations sometimes made the discussions boring, the extracts were interesting and thought-provoking. A good read.
