RIP Quotes

A real story from Konni, Pathanamthitta, Kerala:
A BPL family got water connection. Everyone was happy . The tap never gave any water after initial testing but after 3-4 months a bill of Rs. 480/- came in June 2024. The poor widow lady went to the local water office to complain that she had received a water bill showing meter reading zero. She also told authorities that being a BPL family she was told that no water bill will come.

The officials told her that her connection is yet to be converted to BPL and thus she has to pay the bill. They told that the connection will be converted to BPL in January 2025. Further, they directed her to an engineer. The engineer confirmed that as the water tank is still under construction so no water has been supplied to her as reflected in zero meter reading.

The lady asked them that she wants to surrender the water connection to which the officials told her that then she needs to pay panchayat penalty for agreeing to a water connection and then surrendering it. They told her that they will temporarily disconnect the connection but in case the meter reading will reflect any usage then she will face water theft charges.

Har Ghar Jal or Har Ghar Bill?

My heart was grief-struck
when i heard the demise..
May the Good Lord give us
strength and courage to bear the shock and
give place to the departed soul in his abode..

We feel sad on the demise of a person
who was close to our hearts but
they live eternally in each of us
in what we do and think
to make this world a better place..

If we can just find meaning in departures
then the associated pain departs.

She was not a life
but lessons and expectations.
Learn the lessons to
meet expectations.
She would surely be glad in heaven
when you will perform better.

Some lives are like light houses
always showing us the way
and to tread on those paths
can be the only homage to them..

Life gives us a million reasons
to smile and cry and
I know that you are strong enough
to view reasons of sorrow as
Signs of Navigation..
