The mortal remains of Michael were lying in morgue of Bhagavati Hospital, Borivali (West) since Sunday, waiting for his kith and kin to offer him a decent burial as per Catholic religious rites. Rons Bantwal Volunteers to give Decent Burial to Orphaned Michael said Ravindra.
Although Michael was a bachelor and had 5 brothers and one sister, none of them were willing to give him a decent burial, just because he was wayward and squandered his savings on booze and pleasures.
Michael is the example for all those who shun families and relatives, religion; what would be their fate after they breathe their last. The one who is only after worldly pleasures of life would be shunned even after passing away. They die like orphaned only to add woes to others and to spend sleepless nights, regretted Rons Bantwal.
