Hi, I'm Amit, but I used to be...

It's understandable that there are plenty of people who still believe in rebirth, but it amazes me that scientists from a reputed organisation have now come out and said that rebirth exists, and that they are conducting research on it.

A lady called Satwant Pasricha, the head of clinical psychology, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), has, according to a report on Newindpress.com, presented "scientific evidences of reincarnation from an ongoing study NIMHANS had been doing for the last two decades along with the University of Virginia." The report informs us:
Pasricha is yet to find out why only some children remember their previous birth. Is it always from one human being to another or is also from animals? Why do the children forget the incidents by the time they are ten? How are the dead ones reborn? Do they travel through light? Are they waves?

Meanwhile, in unrelated news, Sting has said that he is "more of a Hindu [than anything else]", and is "addicted to India". Well, he could always be reborn here, couldn't he?
