A parcel from the US, to Gujarat...

A 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 opened the lid, they found a letter on top, addressed to sender's 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 leaves are consumed...
You will find inside the coffin, under Ba's body, 12 cans of cheese, 10 packets of Tobler chocolates and eight packets of Badam...
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 two other pairs of shoes also for Radha's and Lakshmi's sons under this size 10 shoes...
Hope the sizes are correct...
Ba is wearing six American T-Shirts...
The large size is for Mohan...
Just distribute the rest among yourselves...
The two new Jeans that Ba's is wearing are for the boys...
The Swiss watch that Reema wanted is on Ba's left wrist and the bracelet for Rani is on her right wrist...
Shanta masi, Ba is wearing the necklace, earrings and ring that you asked for...
Please take them off her...
The six white cotton socks that Ba is wearing must be divided among my nephews...
Please distribute all these fairly...

Love...

Sunita...

PS: If anything more required let me know soon, as Bapuji is also not feeling too well nowadays...
