A Patel family in Gujarat was puzzled when the coffin of their dead
mother
arrived from the US. It was sent by one of the daughters.
The dead body was very tightly squeezed inside the coffin, with no
space
left in it When they opened the lid, they found a letter on top
addressed to
her brothers and sisters:
Dear Chandrakantbhai, Arvindbhai, Smitaben and Varsha,I am sending Ba's
body
to you, since it was her wish that she should be cremated in the
compound of
our ancestral home in GUJARAT.Sorry , could not come along as all of my
paid
leave is consumed.
You will find inside the coffin, under Ba's body, 12 cans of cheese, 10
packets of Tobler chocolates and 8 packets of Badam. Please divide
these
among all of you. On Ba's feet you will find a new pair of Reebok
shoes(size
10) for Mohan. There are also 2 pairs of shoes for Radha's and
Lakshmi's
sons. Hope the sizes are correct.
Ba is wearing 6 American T-Shirts. The large size is for Mohan. Just
distribute the rest among yourselves. The 2 new Jeans that Ba's is
wearing
are for the boys. The Swiss watch that Reema wanted is on Ba's left
wrist.
Shanta masi, Ba is wearing the necklace, earrings and ring that you
asked
for. Please take them off her.
The 6 white cotton socks that Ba is wearing must be divided among my
nephews. Please distribute all these fairly.
Love Smita
PS : and if anything more required let me know soon, as Bapuji is also
not
feeling too well nowadays...
