Junk Mail Call
Some time ago, I wrote an article explaining how decrepit I felt when I opened my mailbox on my 50th birthday and inside was an issue of AARP Magazine. I was appalled that AARP thought it necessary to send such an unwelcomed reminder of my half century mark, but they did.
That was a few years ago and it has been just recently that I have finally felt comfortable enough to collect my mail without trepidation of age offensive mail.
That was yesterday.
Today I collected my mail and was flipping through it as I walked back to the condo. The usual correspondence greeted me, phone bill, electric bill and that’s when I saw it. I gasped and stopped dead in my tracks.
Perhaps a poor choice of words considering what had frozen my steps. This particular piece of mail was from a local funeral home.
What?!
I dropped it immediately as if I held on to it for another moment, lightning would come down from the heavens and strike me dead. I was aghast! I stood staring at it as it lay by my feet.
Should I pick it up or should I leave it on the ground and allow it to sink into the pavement and be eaten up by the elements?
No, I’ll retrieve it, but only because I’m not a litterbug!
Opening it carefully I find only an innocuous survey.
Question No. 1: “How old are you?”
Translation: “When can we expect you?”
Question No. 6: “Are you aware that prepaid funeral plans exist?”
Translation: “At your age you better hurry on over with those plans!”
And the all telling question No. 8: “How much might you expect to pay for a funeral?” Box “A” starts with $2,000 bucks ending with box “F” at more than $10,000.
Obviously the box you check will determine if and how often you will be receiving future flyers from the funeral home.
These silly things would not bother the young. I guess at my age I can hear that old grandfather clock ticking somewhere in the back of my head and a reminder that the chime of that clock will eventually toll for me.
George Bernard Shaw said that “youth is wasted on the young” and truer words were never spoken. I have the same brain that I had when I was young and all those marbles still rolling around in my head, cannot understand the ravages of age.
Having the same fundamental notions about life does not change and if I had the physicality of my 30’s and the wisdom of my 50’s I could rule the world!

Our deepest sympathies Mrs.Bhatia,Ena,Maura ; Nicole, Brent and their family on this sudden tragic loss. We have very cherished memories of him from our various trips to Toronto over the last 40 years. He always treated us with great respect and dignity and we held him in very high regard. At our last meeting,he sang a beautiful Indian song for us and was in great form. As we say in Gaelic, Leaba i measc na Naomh aige.
I reminisce of the time…only a few years ago, where we (my father Mohan, cousin Gurinder-Mohan and myself) had a barbeque in the back yard with Anup- thank you for your kind hospitality!
Although we seldom spoke on the phone, the occasions on which we met manifested great love and respect between the two of us and our families.
May your kind soul rest in peace.
Our heartiest sympathy and condolences to , Mamiji Prakash Kaur, Maura, Nicole, and Brent. We have some cherished memories of him from the time we spent in Brampton last few years together and specially last few weeks when he spent some time with my parents (Gurdeep singh Bhatia and Tejinder bhatia from Jalandhar) . I really must to say that what a loving and kind gentleman Anoop Uncle was.
Anoop was a great friend to us through out the years. We became friends 12 years ago when we moved next door to him. During our many, many talks he always nothing but had kind words and great advise. Never a bad thing to say about anyone. Truly one of a kind. The Bhatia family has lost a great man and Habitat Sq has lost a great friend and neighbour. My deepest sympathies to the Bhatia family. .
