Just Remember This of Me-W

EPITAPH

If I die in India, the following Bhagvad Geeta Mantra will be chanted, as we, the 
Hindus don’t cremate the dead body but we burn it. Below is the summery of my
beliefs formed of religious books for the epitaph: 

 
Weapon cannot harm the soul,
fire cannot burn it, 
water cannot wet the soul 
and the wind cannot make it dry.
=======================================

But in case if I die in North America, the Epitaph would be thus: 


EPITAPH

Here lies Ram Mehta 
Who took life as it came to him
And left for the heavenly abode
Without regrets 

===================================
Sixth Place winner

A well deserved win was given, always you teach me so much. I am a student too of Dravidian history, and like that place where Persia intersect with Africa, long before the Greeks. Good write, my friend.
