I have written about a couple seeking mercy killing for their gravely ill son. This post somehow was side tracked from its real intention. But I tried in a very small way to do something for this ailing boy. And many of you supported me fully. Raghuveer even trusted me, a faceless and intangible stranger, so much that he transferred money from his account to my own, suggesting me that I should send the cheque. He was skeptical about India’s postal system. I did as he suggested. But even after good 20 days, the money was intact in my bank account. I was distraught and phoned Mr. Ashok Kumar, just to make sure whether he received the cheque or not. He informed me,�Madam aap logon ki duvayen aur aashirvaad kaam nahi aya.� That child breathed his last on 13th August.
Well, beyond a point everyone is helpless. I don’t believe in God, otherwise, I would have drawn some consolation in prayers and mediation. But this luxury is unavailable to me. But I learn one thing, there are always people, who are ready to do their bit. Its just that you have to ask for a helping hand. They are ready to hold hands and trust a stranger. Due to them, this planet is worth living.
