That fateful day, Nath breathed
his last at All Saints Hospital,
located in one of the major cities in South India. In retrospect,
the journey from the time of his accident to death provided enough
opportunities and indications that Nath could have been saved from death.
Kumar (Nath's brother-in-law) was revisiting the whole episode and wondered as
to why he did not take corrective measures to save his sister the agony
of heart-rending bereavement.
September 19, 2006, a pleasant winter morning, and Kumar was
whistling his way to his office. He had several reasons to be happy. His son
had performed well and had secured a distinction in his school. Kumar's
appraisal too went very well and he was expecting a promotion. He was,
however, jolted from his pleasant reveries and was shocked by a call on his
mobile informing that his brother-in-law had met with an accident and was
at the All Saints Hospital.
Kumar belonged to a big joint family of Kaveri Bai (Kumar's
grandmother). The mega family was planning a get-together for quite
some time and had decided on having the gala event in a week's time.
The event included pooja and Srinivasa
Kalyanam in the style of a marriage spread over a period of three
days. Kumar had requested everybody in the family to participate actively
in the function. Inviting friends and relatives was one aspect which
the family members did individually on behalf of Kumar's grandmother. |
