Steve Jobs to be reincarnated

Pune : About 40,0000 people took part in a ritual in Pune , India, so that Apple founder Steve Jobs could be reincarnated as Macbook for Lord Ganesha ( A.K.A The elephant god)  considered to be the holy grail of reincarnation.

Pune Daily reported that Sunday’s ceremony, which was organised by a medium from Pune, was criticised by the Federation of Apple Lovers Associations India and several Buddhist associations, calling it ‘ridiculous and superstitious’. The daily reported that most of the medium’s followers did not know who Jobs was and many took part in the ceremony to enjoy a day trip to Pune and to pray for good fortune. Followers were asked to take a bite from an apple and observe three minutes of silence before throwing the fruit into the river but some had finished half of the fruit before doing so as it was very sweet. According to an earlier report, followers had to pay about rupees 10,000 ($200) to take part in the ceremony. A number of Bollywood celebrities were rumored to partake in this bizarre ceremony.
