INSPIRING WILL OF NANI A. PALKIWALA
( 16-1-1920 TO 11-12-2002)

WHEN I DIE

GIVE MY SIGHT TO A MAN WHO HAS NEVER SEEN A SUNRISE.
GIVE MY HEART TO A MAN WHO HAS KNOWN THE AGONY OF A HEART.
GIVE MY BLOOD TO A YOUTH PULLED FROM THE WRECKAGE OF A CAR SO THAT HE MIGHT LIVE TO SEE HIS GRANDCHILDREN PLAY.
LET MY KIDNEYS DRAIN THE POISON FROM ANOTHER’S BODY.
LET MY BONES TO BE USED TO MAKE A CRIPPLED CHILD WALK.
BURN WHAT IS LEFT OF ME AND SCATTER THE ASHES TO THE WIND TO LET THE FLOWERS GROW.
IF YOU MUST BURY SOMETHING, LET IT BE MY FAULTS AND MY PREJUDICES AGAINST MY FELLOWMEN.
GIVE MY SINS TO THE DEVIL.
GIVE MY SOUL TO THE GOD.
IF YOU WISH TO REMEMBER ME, DO IT WITH A KIND DEED OR WORD TO SOME ONE WHO NEEDS YOU.
IF YOU DO ALL I HAVE ASKED, I WILL LIVE FOREVER.
