40 killed, 30 bodies recovered. How often do we read headlines like these? Everyday, isn’t it? I don’t want to add to the numbers. I want to talk about the transition from a living, breathing person to a body.
And how long does it take Sunil to become a body? How long does it take little Sonia to become a body? It doesn’t take time at all. The person disappears with the breath and what remains is the body.
The body has no name. It has no gender. It cannot feel pain. Who is Sunil? Who is Sonia? They don’t exist. The body has taken over. Hail the body!
