Death- the Event

Prolonged illness Doctor forewarned ‘Might prove fatal’ Family was prepared “When time comes Royal send-off Matching elite status Grand plans Cavalcade of cars Who’s who of society Wearing unblemished white Engaged in ‘Animated’ discussions on ‘Death’ Everything better than That death in Mr X’s family” ......... Old man’s wish- Visiting Varanasi ......... Trip made Thereafter Events happened too quickly Riots nearby, Complete lawlessness, Movement impossible Old man breathed his last Family got stuck Cremation couldn’t endlessly wait Simple funeral ‘Death in Varanasi Soul goes straight to heaven,’ Priest remarks Small consolation this Reason- Death may be 'The Great Leveller' But, All pomp & show of ‘Death- The Event’ Had gone missing.
