Gujarati Funeral .... Excellent one...
A family in Gujarat was puzzled when the coffin of
their dead mother (Ba) 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, I could not come along as all of my paid leave
is consumed.
You will find inside the coffin, under Ba's body, cans
of cheese, 10 packets of Tobler chocolates and 8 packets of Badam (peanuts)
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 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 : If anything more required let me know soon as
Bapuji is also not feeling too well now a days.
