just saw the sad news about the death of Ms. Swathi infosys employee. Any amount of words in any language is not going to console the bereaved family. And it is most unfortunate death the girl has met. Whatever may be the reason she need not have gone and that too in this way. Pains me a lot such a young life has been plucked from our midst. Don't know what were her dreams ambitions expectations and plans. but one thing is sure that every one of those has been killed along with her leaving her family and friends shattered. In my earlier days we were living in independent houses. If some one is in serious condition, some one will arrange for a vehicle (mostly bullock carts). some one will take cash. Two or three persons will accompany the cart in cycles to the hospital. Somebody will be there already to take care of things. In fact i can narrate my own experience. I was at Mayiladuturai then. My son had a fall from the third floor to the ground and the skull was opened. Dont know who took him to the hospital. My office received a phone call about the incident. I have been asked by my friends to accompany them. I was not permitted to drive the bike but asked to ride the pillion. Before my reaching the hospital, some of my office colleagues were there and discussed things with the doctor. The doctor advised them to take the boy to Thanjavur Medical Collage hospital which is roughly 80 kms from Mayiladuturai. One lady took the keys of my house went home packed some cloths for my wife and myself. A car was arranged. All the keys of the office which i was having was taken over in the hospital by some office colleague. We were put in the taxi and the driver was asked to drive fast. Our AGM phoned up the Dy.Supdt. of Police and the DSP saw to it that the road to Thanjavur is free. One car carried us and in two other cars the office staff followed. Meanwhile the union secretary phoned up the union secretary at Thanjavur and explained the position. A person who was influential with the Doctors in Thanjavur Medical College was deputed to hospital and he was making arrangements at the hospital to receive us. We reached the hospital in record time and the hospital staff with stretcher were standing at the entrance waiting for us. My son got admitted in the hospital and was immediately attended to by the doctors. It took nearly three hours for the Doctors to declare my son is safe. All the people were waiting (including those from thanjavur office) and only after they heard the news that my son was safe they left leaving a girl and a boy to help us. Now my son is working in IT happily married and having a daughter.

Where that humanity gone? Those people who helped me are still alive and helping others like me in whatever way they can. I feel living in apartments made us weaklings. People were looking at the incident when that girl was hacked. If some one shouted at that man who hacked or immediately rushed the girl to a hospital she might have been alive now. Really saddened the way the society is behaving.

Though the words are not going to help the family in any way, i will fail my conciousness if i fail to convey my condolences to the bereaved family. Pray Sadguru to encompass them and give them the mental and physical strength to bear this tragedy. ‪#‎rskpolambals‬#
