Our Self-Written Obituaries – Sudeshna Mukherjee, Bombay Farewell Notice by The Delhi Walla - January 3, 20200 The 249th death. [Text and photos sent by Sudeshna Mukherjee] Self Obituary She always said “obituaries are tricky” “They trick you Into writings mushy.” Between the mush And the fact a vast chasm creates a slush stripped of all tact Finally! Finally she kicked the bucket A lusty kick unplugged the socket A rebel with many a cause Fought tooth and nail without pause. Eager she was and inquisitive too On what lay beyond the pearly boo On a hunt to question the big D Why? Why? To the one and only? She lived through her struggles hard Dealt with gusto life’s unfair cards Making the acquaintance of the big D Quite early in life you see. Blunt and honest to the point of being rude Laughed the loudest was never shrewd Raising a smile became her ‘mantra’ cool An unapologetic silly emotional fool. Laughing the laugh With many a gaffe Resonating guffaws Waiting for life’s furlough. At last this common woman Met that singular conman Who continued with his random selective visitations Spoiling she was for a duel of explanations. Their she lies finally with that slight smirk on her face Flummoxing the sadist fuddy duddy Death How can one so look forward to death To pounce on IT in the darkness of stealth . Many an hour she had plotted Lying in wait to be blotted! Our Self-Written Obituaries invites people to write their obituary in 200 words.
