Part 2 of My Will
I am a very angry and boring person. I am fast growing oldy. When I am still older then will u ignore me and avoid seeing me and will not invite me to my grand childrens party or will not seek blessings for them????
Till I am hale and hearty I will invite all old family members or seek their blessings and request their presence even if their is some reason to ignore them but I shall not do so.
Pl. do not praise me after my death, behind me. Pl. do not keep my photo in drawing room. Do not keep any Vidhan in my name or tereva. No need to print my photo in newspaper to invite them on third day of death/ baitak. If u want to collect ppl then collect while I am living and wanting to pass time , wanting to see others. I can't remain alone on chair/ bed whole day when old. I need your comapny. So have baithak, tereva and all other functions , vidhan, when I am alive and ailing
Do not distribute any memento in my name. Do not kill cow and donate a pair of shoe. Let me have some good time with you. Chat with me. Laugh with me and even if I have bad nature enjoy me , those will be my last years.
Do not write abt me ,your father / grand father/ grand uncle in remembrance of me on facebook, in poems etc rather call me ( when ailing and old) now when I need to talk to you.
I know I am not going to be as attractive, as well dressed. as monied, as hygienic,as perfumed,as well mannered as your young monied friends are but still I am your father who lived life for you and your well being so how can you ignore me when old???
I have nothing to say about the most lavish party you throw, dinners you host, cocktails you serve but can't you call me once for a light khichdi (Rice preparation) dinner or even a cup of tea?? Remember if you set a right precedence then your grand children's too will host a dinner for you, throw a party for you but you are ignoring your old parents and so shall happen to u! Amen!
U throw party for Lions, Rotary, rich neighbours, ministers , who,s who but who have no time and no need for same. I as lone person requier some attention and partying but who cares??
Many of U have risen in life because of something which we seniors sacrificed, taught, did for you and we do not get back even little gesture of thanks ( though you may carry same in your heart) . If u r truly indebted, is greatful, and not thankless then show it when you have an opportunity not when I am gone. You thank everyone for paltry deeds in vote of thanks but forget to thank your seniors who made your life to some extent. Now is a time or never ......
This is going to be part of my will that no rituals when I am dead as you never cared to give your time when I was alone, needing you, looking forward to hv a cup of tea with you.
Thanks and Regards,
Alok Tholiya,
Sorry though it is a rough draft but sharing same in a hurry. When I hv time I will reframe and rearrange as lot of polishing is required to make this attractive.
