Yesterday, a doctor who works in palliative care, said to me that much care is taken while bringing a new life into the world and the same care needs to be shown when someone is leaving the world. I found this touching, as many times, I have heard that working with the dying is not fruitful or rewarding as it is akin to 'watering of dying plants'. I also heard, yesterday, of 'hospice cities' in India. Banaras, Gaya, Puri are some, where people go to die.The spiritual ambience and accompaniment of others who are facing their end, gives peace and solace in last days.I wonder, whether such cities exist anywhere else in the world.
