  1. A vision

    Oct 23, 2006

    A loud cry and everyone in the bus was staring him grovel on the floor.
    His mother held his stomach which was in intense pain. In his early twenties he caught up with some cancer which was curable but treatment was a costly affair for the poor. Now I guess how that widow would have managed her life with her only son who was an added burden on her. Mostly prayers are for the well-being of someone but I guess that the old lady would be asking god for peaceful death of her only son because life was more dreadful than death. All I could do at that time was to pray for the poor soul.

    As the time moved on, this situation denied to leave my subconscious mind & I kept asking myself: “why don’t we have free medical facilities for all?” This question bears no answer but this has left me with another question: Why don’t I do something?
    Right now it’s more than a half decade to this incidence but still it appears as if it happened yesterday.

    Now I have a dream to open hospitals offering free care for the poor people & the dream is still a dream and all I’ve in this dream is a "WHAT", it still lacks "WHEN".

      Sunil, your thoughts are very much like mine. I keep doing what I can do though in a very little small way but then there is a saying in Hindi "boond boond kar sagar bane".
      Keep it up. Don't let the spirit die and do when you can..

      Our Primary Healthcare centers are bad. But - if the Health Minister spends time - figuring out charges against AIIMS director - where is the time to correct all the filth created in Primary Health Care Centers across the country.

      If 50% of foodgrains are stolen every year out those meant for distribution among those below poverty line - what can we expect of other services...

      How will this mess be created. Why should we allow this to continue.
