If they ever wondered about how their graves will be decorated they wouldn't even think of corruption. i am sure that shaheed BB will be enjoying a necklace of snakes and scorpions as ear rings.Reality of mortal life; when you are done with your last breath, they dig a hole, put your corpse inside and pour tons of sand over it. There you go..........but where will these billions of dollars, huge mansions, luxury cars will go?
