A lost Charitable Trust

A lost charitable Trust

A charitable trust which could have been a reality for a good cause of the society and community is lost for no reason. 

One of my uncle had very lucrative job and earned a lot of money even after his retirement from the active service. He had no children and while young , he wished to adopt one. My mother very clearly refused his request as he very keenly wanted to adopt me . He took me several times to live with him and lured me with many of the gifts and toys etc. He and my aunt were very much interested in adopting me as their child. They loved and cared for me a lot. I stayed with them in Meerut and Lucknow even though it was difficult for me to stay alone without the company of other children and especially my friends from the village. Finally, they adopted the daughter of my aunt’s sister.

My aunt died after a few years of my uncle’s retirement. She was never satisfied and happy in her life as she wanted children of her own. My uncle was very rich with wealth and property. His  adopted daughter also settled nicely with her family. Her family and children were all quite well off in their jobs, wealth and property, etc. The children of his extended family (like all of us and the children of my other uncle) were also well settled independently. None of us needed his money, wealth or property.

On various occasions, I mentioned to him that he should establish a charitable trust for the benefit of less privileged ones as he has no other responsibility and obligations for his friends, relatives including his daughter. I also tried to convince him through some anonymous letters that he should establish a trust in the name of my aunt to get at least some rewards of his good deeds in his next life. Perhaps, the influence of his daughter was so much that he could not do anything. The resources which could have been used for some good cause of the society went all to his daughter after his death in December, 2008. He certainly had some special interest in me. 

I intuitively visited him with Sameer and his family in September 2008. I have a special photograph showing him with me, Sameer and his chiIdren - a photograph showing four generation together. 

Having no children of his own, his karam Kshetra was limited which he could have easily extended by establishing this trust carrying on his memory and legacy. It is the destiny that my mother did not agree for the adoption, otherwise, those resources would have passed on to me and I would have put his wealth to good use for others. 

Otherwise also, as per my destiny based on my life experiences and reality, I am not destined to own unearned wealth and property. That is explained in another blog.

Sameer,s Health

This incident is about the ill health of Sameer during April-July, 2000. It was when he was living at 3348 Paradise Avenue, Hilliard and we were living in Southfield. In March 2000, he took us to Windsor ( Canada) for immigration, then he was OK with his health but in May when we were moving to Windsor, he came from Columbus to help us. It was very shocking for us looking at him, his poor state of health. He came and looked totally exhausted , just went to relax. It never happened before. we never saw him so weak and quiet. He did not take any thing for his dinner. He had no appetite. Next Day , we were to move, he was unable to move a single thing. It appeared as he was trying even to move himself with great difficulty. Any how, we moved. We went to Hilliard and stayed with him. His condition was pitiable. He will go to office and he will come back, will sit in the corner of his sofa, exhausted, quiet and kind of helpless.He had no appetite even for a sip of tea and whatever he will take will aggravate his situation, perhaps of hyper acidity. Did not know as what was happening but certainly some thing related to his digestive system. Day by day his situation and condition was worsening. We were very much worried about his health. It was surprising that Ritu did not notice or did not understand the gravity of the situation. I did not notice that she was worried or taking any care about it.All kinds of tests were conducted including colons copy.though his condition was so bad with so much low energy but he was quite composed and balanced in his actions and dealings. I discussed with Dr Suresh Kumar and Dr. swarup, at this point they were also worried, suspecting colon cancer.Finally I took the appointment with Dr. Ramachandran who conducted a few tests in traditional Indian style and diagnosed a kind of parasitic bacteria and deficiency of iron etc. within a week, with his treatment, there was remarkable difference and his health started improving and got normal after some time. Good relief to all of us.
