That same scorching afternoon, Mrs. Lakshmi completed three important tasks.
First:
She went straight to Punjab National Bank, withdrew every rupee from her savings account, and transferred the amount into a new account.
Second:She visited Shanti Niketan Old Age Home in Hauz Khas.
She reviewed the terms.
She signed the papers.
She paid in advance for ten full years—for a premium room with a private caregiver.
Third:
She went to a reputable notary office.
There, before two witnesses, she prepared her will.
