Surjeet was in the hospital, near death, so the family sent for his friend

Aman. As Aman stood beside the bed,Surjeets frail condition grew worse,and

he motioned frantically for something to write on. Aman lovingly handed him

a pen and piece of paper, and Surjeet used his last ounce of strength to

scribble a note. Then he died.

 

Aman thought it best not to look at the note just then, so he slipped it

into his jacket pocket. Several days later, at the funeral, Aman was

visiting Surjeet's family. He realized that he was wearing the same jacket

that he'd worn the day Surjeet died.

read it, but knowing Surjeet, I'm sure there's a word of inspiration there

for us all. He unfolded the note and read aloud,

 

 

 

"Chootya, you're standing on my oxygen tube............"
