Mankind I pray for you...Sebastian Chettan

 For a lot of people, what is happening is another event and the people who die are data points. Not to the families who lose their loved ones. The closest families are numbed beyond mourning. They can't even bid a final farewell. A virus came and took away their loved ones without warning in the most unexpected way.  

India, home to some of the richest in the world, still has to go with a begging bowl  Where the wise advise fellowmen  to stay safe at home, while power hungry politicians lead them astray. Spends millions to build statues and rest houses for politicians, but has no money to build hospitals. Where cows have high level security and freedom but women live in fear.  Has the best doctors and nurses but they have to watch helplessly as their patients die, gasping for basic necessities.India, I cry for you, Mankind I cry for you. Image building  is the first priority,  Nation  building  comes somewhere  later if at all. 

Since 15th April  had 5 of my friends  and relatives  who had lost their life. Today 6th May 2021, just two weeks  after Geeta Aunty, almost at the same time,  there is an SMS, Sebastian  Chettan is no more. He was the Antony Perumbavoor  to us, another family  member  to so many of us in Potta, who was with my Achan all through  his Chemo , until his last breath.  We unfortunately  cannot bid him Good Bye even. He is'nt an event, he is'nt a data point,  but a life gone too soon.  A loss to so many, above all to his family.  Feel heartbroken to see these repeating

"मैं जहां भी देखता हूं, लोग ही लोग दिखाई देती हैं. " - What now?

Mankind  I pray for you...May there be an end to this soon. May the mastermind  behind  this , whichever  part of the world they may be in, be brought to light.
