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.

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..

जब अपने चले जाते हैं तो दुःख होता है
मगर सच यह भी है कि शरीर नशवर है
हमें यही दुआ करनी चाहिए कि
जो जीव - आत्मा आज हमारे बीच नहीं है
प्रभु उसे मोक्ष प्रदान करें ..

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..

It is not that someone passed away today
they have transformed us to better individuals
the pain and agony that we feel will have to
make way for a better tomorrow and
the seeds of love & compassion
will eventually turn into stronger trees..

i cannot minimise the pain
you suffer today
i cannot fill the vacuum
you experience today
but still am standing by your side
just in case you need me..

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..
