The Immortal Rupees 800/-

Denominations are 50*12 and 100*2 = 800/-.

The money in the above denominations was given to me by father sometime in January, 2023, probably to pay for something/some sort of reimbursement. I kept it in my office bag, and since that time it remained there forgotten and untouched. He had the habit of bundling the currency notes through paper clips. The thought of ever spending it, I am sure, will never occur to my mind, in my life time.

Today, I am securely transferring that paper clipped currency bundle in to this journal, with the deepest deep hope that it would be preserved here at least till my life. If you would choose to look through an expert & scientific eye, you will definitely find my fathers and my finger prints on this bundle. Let them be; let them remain there undisturbed.

These denominations thus became a very precious asset in my life. I know that it is an impossibility that our paths would be crossing again either in this life or ever in future, though I wish otherwise. I also know for certain that no God either of present or that of the past or future religions has the power of making my only wish of life a reality. Hence, I beg, whosoever touches this currency bundle, while I am away on my eternal and never returning odyssey, to be understanding and kind.
