A Marwari family in Rajasthan was puzzled when the coffin
of their dead mother arrived from the U.S. It was sent by one of
the daughters. The dead body was so tightly squeezed into the coffin that there
was no space left in it.
When they opened the lid they found a letter on top which
read as follows:
My 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
Rajasthan.
Sorry I could not come along as all my paid leaves are consumed.
You will find inside the coffin, under Amma's body, 12 cans of
cheese, 10 packets of chocolate and 8 packets of Badam. Please divide
these among all of you.
On Mataji's feet you will find a new pair of Reebok shoes
(size 10 ) for Mohan. Also there are 2 pairs of shoes for Radha's
and Lakshimi's sons.
Hope the sizes are correct.
Mataji is wearing 6 American T- shirts. The large size is
for Mohan and the others are for my nephews. Just distribute them
amongst yourselves.
The 2 new jeans that Mataji is wearing are for the boys.
The Swiss watch that Rema wanted is on Mataji's left wrist. Shanta
Aunty, Mataji is wearing the necklace, earrings and ring that you asked
for. Please take them.
The 6 pairs white cotton socks that she is wearing must be
divided among my teenager nephews. Please distribute all of
these uniformly and if anything more is required let me know since our
dear Pitaji is also not keeping well nowadays.
Love,
Your Sister
Munni
