New year

For the first time in my life i spent my new year outside my home. Having four days in pocket, no idea to spend the time, the trip to ooty was the things happening in right direction. and i think this the last unofficial trip so could not miss it.

Ooty "the queen of hills" is no more what it was know for. Heavy deforestation for plantation estates was visible with the barren & ploughed slopes. I also realised why the Europeans use tissue paper for toilet after i used water for cleaning my private parts . This was the first time i felt chillness to such extreme , my hand had completely lost its feeling , i was not able to handle my cell phone.

Adding to the fuel the season was "honey moon" season, pairs loitering around dressed to their best, many us realize something is definitely wrong with us. The planning was not to the best. Some wanted to go safari but nobody knew including the driver how things are to done . So
we entirely missed the safari trips . ...

The gateway

Everybody has to go back from where he came, back to mother earth. Few die at very young age, reasons are many.

My father home is gate way for many people , each having there errands to be completed. One such relative came with the hope of getting their daughter cured and the disease was blood cancer. They had very few resources to pay for the medical bill. The child was 14 years of age,
she was given a heavy dose of medication and weekly transfer of serum. The parents having the villagers ignorance were not able to understand the severity of the issues. She was frail and even a small jolt to the body caused a lot of pain. As long as she stayed with my parents her
health did not deteriorate and the way she talked with rustic flavor made her quick favorites withe my parents.

After a month treatment she was sent back to her home. Her health conditioned made a sharp turn to worst. Few days back the girl was again admitted to hospital. My parents visited her, she in spite of being in drowsy state, on seeing my parents became more alive. Doctor's report
was her condition was beyond recovery and she was taken back to her home , my father payed for all the arrangement. Yesterday she died and my father left for the last rites.
