Bachelors thoughts once again ....
I leave 50 000 francs to the poor. I want to be buried in their hearse.
I refuse [funeral] orations of all churches. I beg a prayer to all souls.
I believe in God
This is not my will of course for the money is in Francs ,the French currency . This is the will of Victor Hugo the famous French novelist of all time. (wikipedia for details ) . Being a bachelor this moment (i have never promised anyone that i will remain one for ever :)) , These days it is amusing when some people tell me reasons why i should get married . In current times most of their explanations are plain dumb while i am more amused these days because often the explanation each person gives in their "advice" to get married reveals more about their personality . One of the reasons cited by some is "What you will do with all your money ? " "Whom will you give it when you die " ?
For starters i have enough money to lead a very comfortable existence . But i am not Bill Gates or Victor Hugo to get tremendously worried about a massive wealth to bequeath to some highly materialistic relative/friend . I am not that rich .
Secondly , as illustrated in the opening quote , philanthropy and bequethal is not perview of bachelors alone . Victor Hugo was very much married and had many kids . So as long as there are deserving people in this world there is no cause for worry .
And lastly as told in previous blogs i may get married to a girl and at that moment we will have a busy time living than thinking about how to give away money after death ..
Oh and i forgot .. Im not an octagenerian to think about my will . I have other priorities in my life than creating a will now ..
As i told earlier of the many advices and reasons for marriage this advice has come from some people who are well known in the family and friend circle for their materialism . (money is the first and last priority for these people ) ..So next time when you advice me please dont say about giving my money to you or my will
. Im already broke eating sushi every night at chennai for a week and maybe you can give me 0.01 percent in your will for me
