Some habits never change.....
The 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 open the lid, they found a letter on top.
"Dear brothers and sisters, I am sending our mother's body to you, since it was her wish that she should be cremated in the compound of our ancestral home in Gujarat. Sorry I could not come along as all of my paid leaves are consumed. U will find inside the coffin, under Ba's body, 12 cans of cheese, 10 packets of chocolate and 8 packets of Badam. Plz divide all this among all of u. On Ba's feet u will find a new pair of Reebok shoes (size10) for Mohan.
There are also 2 pairs of shoes for Radha's and Lakshim's sons. Hope the sizes are correct. Ba is wearing 6 American T-shirts. The large size is 4 Mohan. Just distribute them among ur selves. 2 new jeans that Ba is wearing are 4 the boys. The swiss watch that Reema wanted is on Ba's left wrist. Shanta Aunty, Ba is wearing the necklace, earings and ring that u ask 4.pliz take them off her.
The 6 white cotton socks that Ba is wearing must be divided among my nephews.
Pliz distribute all these uniformly and if anything more required let me know as Bapa is also not feeling too well nowadays......
Thanks Your loving Sister,"
