A family in Gujarat was puzzled when the coffin of their dead mother (Ba) arrived from the US . It was sent
\nby one of the daughters.<\/p>\n

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:<\/p>\n

Dear Chandrakantbhai, Arvindbhai, Smitaben and Varsha,<\/p>\n

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sorry, I could not come along as all of my paid leave is consumed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ba is wearing 6 American T-Shirts. The large size is for Mohan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just distribute the rest among yourselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2 new Jeans that Ba is wearing are for the boys.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Swiss watch that Reema wanted is on Ba’s left wrist. Shanta masi, Ba is wearing the necklace,
\nearrings and ring that you asked for. Please take them off her..<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 6 white cotton socks that Ba is wearing must be divided among my nephews.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please distribute all these fairly.
\nLove Smita.<\/strong><\/p>\n

PS : If anything more required let me know soon as Bapuji is also not feeling too well nowadays.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
