On Death
……somehow or other infected by some strange worms or germs….. and I’m not surprised about it because after all this body is temporarily misappropriated by us to live our life. But, it actually belongs to the worms ultimately. The little ones have already waited 60 long years and their mouths are watering at this beautiful packet of filth; and therefore, if supposing they have started attacking and starting lunch just before the announcement, let us forgive them, “children will be children”.
