I am no great story teller.
The happenings in my life can make a great fiction.
Fictions are transcriptions of real life.
Aroma. fragrance, frescoes are added to make the presentation interesting.
This feature is about the impertinence of a shoddy man-he being the first male child of the family.
No other credit can be attributed to him.
A will was drafted by family’s lawyer in 1995.
The head of the family, nominated his eldest son as an executor of the will and registrd it.
The lawyer was a treacherous crafty schemer.
His wily nature and pranks have ruined many a wealthy family.
The father passed away in 1997.
The will clearly states the responsibility of the executor.
The nominated person should relinquish his office as soon as he accomplishes the duties ascertained to him.
But, this particular man,is holding his post for eleven long years.
His siblings are half a century old.
His nephews have crossed the quarter century mark.
He is a primary school drop out.
He lacks prudence.
but swells in arrogance.
He excels in stupidity,
but poses to be as Solomon -the wise.
He s a bundle of contradictions.
He is past 60 now.
But he is mentally immature.
His mental capacity is that of a 8 year old.
An eight year old ‘s mind would be full of innocence.
His mind is filled with capriciousness.
The solicitors have thrown their towels.
The family is exasperated.
How to turn this man around?
By advice,
by law ,
or ,
by force.
Know not how?
There is a Sanskrit saying
“sama dana ,bedha, dhandam.’
GOD BLESS THE EXECUTOR”
-executing the family -literally, for a decade.
