Hi all. Life is kind of going so-so, exams coming near, no prep as such.
Coming to something more important, here is a true incident which happened in my neighbourhood. Surely not for the ones with weak heart, children or pregnant women.
There is this particular lady in my neighbourhood who is around 75 I guess and is enjoying life inspite of arthritis and some minor problems like losing a teenage child in the 70's to some acute heart problem, her son in law getting blind due to consumption of industrial liquor hence leading to poor/ tough times for one of her numerous daughters who had to start working at a middle age to support her family.
Another of her daughter (youngest) got married around 13 years ago. Her drunkard husband abused her physically/ mentally/ emotionally. So as fate had it, she had a child around 8 months back but this hardly changed her husband who didn't give a damn to the financial situation of the house. So one fateful night as he was asking for money to buy liquor, he hit his wife on the frontal lobe of her brain which resulted in a brain haemmorhage. God knows what happened then (he didn't take her to a hospital); and she DIED in the morning. Next what the guy did was call her home to lie to them that she had fallen off the stairs. So at this juncture, leaving his 8 month old kid in some neighbour's hands and his wife's dead body at home, he ran away.
This was an earth shattering experience for the deceased's family. What was more enraging was the reluctance of the guy's family to accept the kid. Finally the accused is behind the bars after days and days of hide and seek and won't face i guess more than 10 years in prison cause this was not a deliberate murder.
All that the family can remember of the woman is those pleasant childhood memories, that promise to do a special prayer for the blessing she got in the form of this child, and her promise to wear that special suit given to her by her bhabhi on Raksha Bandhan but as fate had it, she died 1 day before it.
Next, Imagine the plight of that 8 month old boy whose alcoholic father killed his mom.
My Dear GOD, can you justify this twist in fate from your side. I believe in you but just can't understand the purpose of exposing that child who still hasn't gained his senses properly to such a big tragedy whereas those Bastard politicians are making merry destroying thousands and thousands of lives. Was his previous birth's acts so bad? I don't believe in this theory of a person getting punishment for his sins/ reward for good work in his/her next birth as its narrated by those known as 'enlightened' people.
So coming back to the rality of this forgetful world, with not much enthusiasm from the deceased's side too, now the boy will be put up for adoption. Hope he never gets to know about this and his future parents may give him all the love in this world.
My mother tells me that one couldn't find a more innocent/cute child in this world apart from him, hearing this i have lost the courage to see/even get close to him.
You like me or not, but for the boy's sake do utter a silent prayer for his well being if you do read this post.
My next post too will be something very depressing, but comparing that to this one won't be fair at all, so guys/gals I end here.........
