Interesting things about Sachin
Tendulkar’s Dream
Sachin Tendulkar got the name Sachin because his family members were all huge fans of the legendary music director Sachin Dev Burman (SD Burman).

First step towards cricket
Tendulkar’s sensational journey to cricket stardom sparked of when his brother Ajit made him meet Mr. R. Achrekar ( Cricket Coach ). Sachin failed to perform in the first go which made him very nervous but his brother’s persuasion led Mr. Achrekar give him another chance.
Sachin originally wanted to be a professional tennis player. When he started playing cricket Young Sachin had aspired of being a fast bowler, It was this dream that made him undertake trials at Chennai based MRF pace academy,but his small stature proved to be a major hindrance to his aspiring career. Then he decided to take batting seriously.

Turning point in his career
It was his change of school to Shardashram Vidya Mandir in Dadar – close to Shivaji Park on his coach’s advice which marked a turn around in Sachin’s career. He says,” I use to bat in four nets at one strech. Whenever, I use to get tired, Achrekar use to keep a one rupee coin on top of the stumps and say, “Anyone who gets him out will take this coin. If no-one gets him, Sachin takes it.” Tendulkar till date contributes this technique in being instrumental for enhancing his concentration. He still treasures the 13 coins earned by him during the practice sessions.

Naughty Duo
Sachin and his best pal Vinod Kambli hold the World Record of 664 runs stand for Shardashram School in inter-school tournament in 1988. Tendulkar candidly admits that the total would have never assumed mammoth proportion had he and Kambli not ignored the man waving from the boundary with the coach’s message to declare.

Gift from Sunil Gavaskar
Sachin was given a pair of pads by his cricket hero Sunil Gavaskar when he was a schoolboy – and he made his Test debut for India against Pakistan aged just 15-years old in 1989 wearing those very pads.

Love in MotorSport
Sachin seriously loves his motorsport. In 2002 he was given a brand-spanking new Ferrari 360 Modena by six-time World Champion Michael Schumacher at Silverstone!

Sachin in Bollywood
Sachin made a special appearance in the Bollywood film “Stumped” in 2003 as himself.

Tendulkar’s Idol
Tendulkar’s idol is the American Tennis superstar-John McEnore. During his young age, he argued and fought for McEnore with his colony friends who supported Swedish Bjorn Borg. Sachin sported a head-band, sweat-band and a tennis racquet showing his staunch loyalty towards his idol.

Superstitious Sachin
Like loads of other cricketers, Sachin is pretty superstitious – he’ll always put on his left pad before his right whenever he’s getting padded up.

Family Quirks
Sachin’s wife Anjali tends to become nervous while he bats, whereas his brother has become so superstitious that he allows the family members to only watch the match recording.

His reactions to his dismissals
On pre-mature and early exits, Sachin likes to take out his anger somewhere. He prefers to be left alone, till he cools down.

God’s Importance in his life
Tendulkar is a God fearing person, a staunch devotee of Sai Baba, Ganpathi and frequently visits temples during night when it’s calm and quiet. He visualizes God in his parents. Religion to him is what his parents have inculcated in him, his upbringing and his way of life. Sachin strongly believes in the concept of re-birth, existence of Hell and Heaven. He loves celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi at home with his family and believes that it firms his ties with his loved ones.

Other things
Sachin was just 17 years and 109 days old when he scored his debut Test century against England at Old Trafford back in 1990, finishing up on 119 not out.

Sachin was the first ever foreign cricketer to play for Yorkshire in 1992. Before then, only players who were born in the county were ever allowed to play for Yorkshire. But the rules were changed and in came a 19-year-old Sachin, scoring 1000 runs at an average of 46.

Sachin was the first batsman ever to be given out by the third umpire when he was run out against South Africa in the first Test in Durban back in 1992.

He uses an incredibly heavy bat at the crease, weighing in at 3.2lbs – in fact, only South Africa’s master blaster Lance Klusener uses a heavier bat in world cricket.

Sachin Tendulkar got his first one day international century after playing 78 matches and five years of international cricket. People were
beginning to wonder whether he will ever get to the three figure mark but on September 9, 1994 he silenced all his critics with a masterly 110

The 11th Husband !!!

The 11th Husband !!!

A young man married a beautiful woman who had previously divorced 10 husbands. On their wedding night, she told her new husband to “Please be gentle;

I’m still a virgin.”

“What ?” said the puzzled groom.

“How can that be if you’ve been married ten times?”

“Well, husband #1 was a Sales Representative; he kept telling me how great it was going to be..

“Husband #2 was in Software Services; he was never really sure how it was supposed to function; but he said he’d look into it and get back with me.

“Husband #3 was from Field Services; he said that everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn’t get the system up.

” Husband #4 was in Telemarketing; even though he knew he had the order, he didn’t know when he would be able to deliver..

“Husband #5 was an Engineer; he understood the basic process but he wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the- art method.

“Husband #6 was from Administration; he thought he knew how but he wasn’t sure whether it was his job or not.

“Husband #7 was in Marketing; although he had a product, he was never sure how to position it.

“Husband #8 was a Psychiatrist; all he did was talk about it.

“Husband #9 was a Gynecologist; all he did was look at it..

“Husband #10 was a Stamp Collector; all he ever did was……… .. God I miss him !!

“But now that I’ve married you, I’m so excited”..

“Wonderful”, said the husband, “but why ?
“You’re with the ” GOVERNMENT “. ..
This time I KNOW I’M gonna get SCREWED.”

Don’t Mess with Old People!!

The ATO decides to audit Grandpa, and summons

him to the ATO office.

The auditor was not surprised when Grandpa

showed up with his attorney.

The auditor said, ‘Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling.

I’m not sure the ATO finds that believable.’

I’m a great gambler, and I can prove it,’ says Grandpa. ‘How about a demonstration? ‘

The auditor thinks for a moment and said, ‘Okay.

Go ahead.’

Grandpa says, ‘I’ll bet you a thousand dollars that

I can bite my own eye.’

The auditor thinks a moment and says, ‘It’s a bet.’

Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it.

The auditor’s jaw drops.

Grandpa says, ‘Now, I’ll bet you two thousand

dollars that I can bite my other eye.’

Now the auditor can tell Grandpa isn’t blind,

so he takes the bet.

Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye.

The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered

and lost three grand, with Grandpa’s attorney as

a witness. He starts to get nervous.

‘Want to go double or nothing?’ Grandpa asks

‘I’ll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand

on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get

a drop anywhere in between.’

The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now,

but he looks carefully and decides there’s no way

this old guy could possibly manage that stunt,

so he agrees again.

Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily,

he can’t make the stream reach the wastebasket

on the other side, so he pretty much urinates

all over the auditor’s desk.

The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has

just turned a major loss into a huge win.

But Grandpa’s own attorney moans and puts his

head in his hands.

‘Are you okay?’ the auditor asks.

‘Not really,’ says the attorney. ‘This morning,

when Grandpa told me he’d been summoned for

an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars

that he could come in here and piss all over your

desk and that you’d be happy about it!’

Don’t Mess with Old People!!

Coca Cola History: Left to Right 1899 – 1900 – 1915 – 1916 – 1957 – 1986

The Teddy (Inspirational Story)

As she stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children an untruth.

Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. However, that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.

Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he did not play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. In addition, Teddy could be unpleasant.

It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X’s and then putting a big “F” at the top of his papers.

At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was required to review each child’s past records and she put Teddy’s off until last. However, when she reviewed his file, she was in for a surprise.

Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners… He is a joy to be around..”

His second grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle.”

His third grade teacher wrote, “His mother’s death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best, but his father doesn’t show much interest, and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren’t taken.”

Teddy’s fourth grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is withdrawn and doesn’t show much interest in school. He doesn’t have many friends and he sometimes sleeps in class.”

By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful ribbons and bright paper, except for Teddy’s.

His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that he got from a grocery bag. Mrs. Thompson took pains to open it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the children started to laugh when she found a rhinestone bracelet with some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume . But she stifled the children’s laughter when she exclaimed how pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and dabbing some of the perfume on he r wrist. Teddy Stoddard stayed after school that day just long enough to say, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled just like my Mom used to.”
After the children left, she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she quit teaching reading, writing and arithmetic. Instead, she began to teach children. Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy.

As she worked with him, his mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he responded. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class and, despite her lie that she would love all the children the same, Teddy became one of her “teacher’s pets..”

A year later, she found a note under her door, from Teddy, telling her that she was the best teacher he ever had in his whole life.

Six years went by before she got another note from Teddy. He then wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in life.

Four years after that, she got another letter, saying that while things had been tough at times, he’d stayed in school, had stuck with it, and would soon graduate from college with the highest of honors. He assured Mrs.

Thompson that she was still the best and favorite teacher he had ever had in his whole life.

Then four more years passed and yet another letter came. This time he explained that after he got his bachelor’s degree, he decided to go a little further. The letter explained that she was still the best and favorite teacher he ever had. But now his name was a little longer…. The letter was signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, MD.

The story does not end there. You see, there was yet another letter that spring. Teddy said he had met this girl and was going to be married.

He explained that his father had died a couple of years ago and he was wondering if Mrs. Thompson might agree to sit at the wedding in the place that was usually reserved for the mother of the groom. Of course, Mrs.Thompson did. And guess what? She wore that bracelet, the one with several rhinestones missing. Moreover, she made sure she was wearing the perfume that Teddy remembered his mother wearing on their last Christmas together.

They hugged each other, and Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson’s ear, “Thank you Mrs. Thompson for believing in me. Thank you so much for making me feel important and showing me that I could make a difference.”

Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back. She said, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”

(For you that don’t know, Teddy Stoddard is the Dr. at Iowa Methodist in DesMoines that has the Stoddard Cancer Wing.)

Warm someone’s heart today. . . I love this story so very much, I cry every time I read it. Just try to make a difference in someone’s life today? tomorrow? just “do it”. Random acts of kindness, I think they call it!

Smart Thinking, management lessons

Many years ago in a small Indian village,

A farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender. The Moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer’s beautiful Daughter. So he proposed a bargain.

He said he would forgo the farmer’s debt if he could marry his Daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the Proposal.

So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let Providence decide the matter. He told them that he would put a black Pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag.

1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father’s debt would be forgiven.

2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father’s debt would still be forgiven.

3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into Jail.

They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer’s field. As They talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he Picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two Black pebbles and put them into the bag.

He then asked the girl to pick A pebble from the bag..

Now, imagine that you were standing in the field. What would you have Done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would you Have told her?

Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:

1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.

2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag And expose the money-lender as a cheat.

3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order To save her father from his debt and imprisonment.

Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with The hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral And logical thinking.

The girl’s dilemma cannot be solved with Traditional logical thinking. Think of the consequences if she chooses The above logical answers.

What would you recommend to the Girl to do?

Well, here is what she did ….

The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without Looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path Where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.

“Oh, how clumsy of me,” she said. “But never mind, if you look into the Bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I Picked.”

Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had Picked the white one.. And since the money-lender dared not admit his Dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into An extremely advantageous one.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don’t Attempt to think.

Wockhardt Mulund – A CASE OF MEDICAL NEGLIGIENCE – Death of 16 yr old – Worth reading

Hi All,

This is sad. Commercialisation has increased to the extent that, Doctor’s without informing patients are giving them medicines and then checking if any side effects happen.. This report the Doctor’s pass on to the Clinical Research Companies who pass on to the Pharma companies, who want to launch their medicines. …The chain gets paid by the Pharma co.’s.,FDA’s etc. Nowadays beware cuz live unsuspecting patients are being used as guinea pigs for clinical research…Lot of Material for Hindi Film …

This is surely a sad thing to happen to anybody. I am not a person to comment on this our doctor friends could definitely throw light on this and help us in understanding the details. I think it is time now for a common man to take note of the situation and keep vigil.
Everyday we keep on hearing about the commercialization of the medical profession and some big and dirty fishes poisoning the noble profession.
I condemn such doctors.

Regard’s

The sad demise of our daughter and the story behind it

In April my wife took our loving and beautiful daughter aged sixteen to a dertematologist Dr.Ragunandan Torsekar , visiting doctor in Wochardt. After seeing her he gave some cream and medicines and told to have a blood test and come for re check up. The test was done in May 2009 and my wife took my daughter to him on 28 July 2009 for further reference. The Complete Blood count (CBC) report was excellant and only the MCH , was 26.9 against the range of 27 to 32. He gave her the following medicines

Tab DAPSONE (100 MG) , and Tab Clofosin (50) to be taken daily and Cap R Cin (600 mg) to be taken once in a month. The tablets are to be taken for six months. When asked about the reason by my wife , he told that the medicine is for vitamin deficiency. No test was done for skin nor biopsy.

She took the medicine for almost 21 days. She got her first fever around 12th August and we took her to our regular physician fearing that this may be swine flu. The Doctor ruled swine flu and gave tab Leeact , which is for a viral fever. She was alright within three days and fine.. The school was closed for one week up to 19th and reopened on 20th Aug.. She went to school on 20th and had her dinner in the night and at 10 PM she developed fever which was 103 and we gave her crocin to tide over the night. Next day morning again the fever was not reduced and was around 104. We called our regular doctor at Airoli and he told to us to do Vidal test and Malaria to rule out the possiblity and was expected to come around 11 AM. As her condition was not good , we decided to take her to Wochardt Hospital with the logo of world class professional tratment with care at Mulund under OPD. She was shown to one Dr.Sushma Malpani , MD in General Medicine at Wochardt on 21 August 2009 and she told that there is no symtom of swine flu and told gave us Azithral , Dolo and Rantac D tablets. She advised CBC and urine test which came did not show any symtom. The fever was unabated and again we asked over phone on 22 August and was told to do test CBC , blood culture and liver profile. The SGOT and SGPT was 245 and 214 against the maximum of 59 and 72 respectively. The fever was not reduced and we showed her on the 22nd itself in her clinic at Airoli and she gave her Tab;Dolo , Zathrin , Rantac-D , Taxim , Clokit and Ondem suspecting the hepatetic induced malaria. The medicines were also given and the fever did not come down. On 23 Aug. we again consulted her over phone and told that in case fever is not coming down come to Wochartdt Hospital for admission. Accordingly in the evening of 23 Aug , we took over hale and healthy daughter to Wochardt where she tested in the Casualty and admitted her. The Chest X ray was done. My wife requested Dr.Sushma Malpani to consult Gastroentrologist as there was abnormality in liver profile and my mother died six months back because of liver faliure , for which there was no action from Dr.Sushma Malpani. There were some rashes in my daughter’s face which we told her and she told that there is nothing.

24 Aug: Dr.Sushma Malpani , came and saw some rashes in the stomach and diagnosed it as Gernan Measels without testing and started medication and advised Test for Rubella a medical term for German measels. The result came negative on the next day. By that time some medicine had gone and the liver got affected. The liver profile was done and the SGOT and SGPT had done up to 382 and 444. We again requested her to call Gastroentrologist because of abnormality of liver whieh she told that I am not bothered about Liver but bothered Fever..

25 Aug:Dr.Sushma Malpani came and saw her and found that the rashes were all over the body of my daughter and told that this looks like Liptospirosis and gave her Tab Doxi a secondary medicine for Lipto without doing any test and the test was done on that day which came negative next day. However , the medicine was given which again affected Lever. The Chest Xray report also came late and there was no abnormality in the chest.

26 Aug: Again Dr.Sushma Malpani came and told that we will do Hepatitis A , B C , Dengue and all came negative next day..By that time she advised the visit of Chest Specialist Dr.Rupwate who came and diagnosed her with TB and advised medicine for nine months without doing any test and just by X ray and abdomen Ultra sonic report. The Liver function test was done on 26th which showed SGOP and SGPT as 888 and 1054 and again we requested Dr.Sushma Malpani to call Gastroentrologist and she repeated her same statement of I am not bothered about Liver but bothered Fever.She further added that I would prefer to treat a chest patient rather than this difficult case of my daughter.
27 Aug: Dr.Rupwate came and told that the cause of fever is TB and medication is being started to day and there would be no problem. When asked about the abnormality of liver we were told there would be no problem and would be alright. Dr.Sushma Malpani came and told that she had to respect her Senior though the conclusive test for TB is Sputum test and Biopsy. We requested that atleast sputum test be done so that TB can be confirmed. Montoe test was given on 27 Aug for TB and sputum test was also done. The result came negative in both the tests on 29 and 28th respectively. The TB medicines were started without clear confirmation of TB and my lovely daughter was administered with Septromicine injections and Ithambutal for TB was given. The fever never came down.

28 Aug: We were eagerly awaiting for Dr.Rupwate but he did not turn to our room though visited the floor. When we asked about the fever , he told smiling wryly , how can you expect that the fever will come within a day it will be there for 4 to 6 weeks as the treatment for TB itself takes 9 months and aksed to come and meet him with the Chest X ray after three months. As the fever was not going down , we cried to Dr.Dhiren Pipalia , an eminent Gastro attached to Wochardt on the previous day in the night over phone and was readily agreed to come see and follow the hospital procedure calling him through Hospital. We told this over phone Dr..Sushma Malpani and cried and requested to call Dr.Dhiren Pipalia and this was done through Hospital. Dr. Dhiren Pipalia visited on28th and by seeing her told that the rashes were drug induced and there is no question of TB. He called in front of me Dr.Rupwate and told that there is no TB and asked his consent to stop TB medicine as he discussed Dr.Rajat , in charge of CT Scan and concluded there is no TB. After that Dr.Rupwate came to our room and told that there is no TB and is stopping the medicine and did not even expressed his regret for the wrong medication. Dr Sushma Malpani told that Dr.Dhiren Pipalia is a senior doctor and how can I call him and because of our request he came. She again added that I would prefer to treat a chest patient rather than this difficult case of my daughter.

With disgust we told Dr..Chandrasekar that Dr.Sushma Malpani may be changed as we were not happy with her way treatment and gave it in writing that some other good doctor may be put for my daughtger’s treatment. He suggested some names and I put Dr.Anita Mathew Davis , an MD specialised in Infecticious diseases and visited in the night and told that the fever and rashes were drug induced. Dr. Dhiren Pipalia also advised that Dermatologist may be asked to see my daughter. The SGOT and SGPT had gone up to 1039 and 1477 which was not fully revealed by Dr.Sushma Malpani and when enquired she told it increased without giving the numbers.

29 Aug: The Dermatologist Dr.Raghnandan Torsekar came and saw her. He confirmed my wife that the rashes were drug induced. When my wife told that you treated her one month back he made a casual statement that whether the drugs I gave caused some effects and did not stop and went away without enquiring the medicines given to understand that the effect of the medicines he had given. My daughter was under treatement of Dr.Anita Mathews who started observing her very closely and even asked each and every small thing.

30 Aug: The fever did not come down and her blood clotting was not occuring becasue of liver disfunction and her food intake was also reduced. As the reports of the tests were awaited my daughter continued in the same state of fever.

31 Aug: Her condition worsened and her face was swollen like a ballon which no parents would ever like to see and we started crying to doctors. By that time her SGOT and SGPT had gone to unimaginable limit of 1557 and 1256 and she was immediately taken to ICCU on the advice of Dr.Amey Medhekar who is associated with Dr.Anita Mathews. By that time Dr.Sushma Malpani was coming and consoling us saying that there is nothing could be found out. In the evening my wife finding the reminder in the Cell phone for the monthly medicing of R-Cin prescribed by Dr.Torsekar , thought whether this was the cause and ran to home and brought the prescriptions and showed to Dr.Anita Mathews who was shocked to see the medicine and said this is the reason for the high fever and rashes. Immediately , she ordered for stoppage of all further tests and planned to give Streoids which would control the disease. She told that the medicines are for Leprosy and whether we were told about this. We informed that this was not done and no test or biopsy of the skin was done further we told that she was not even touched by Dr.Toresekar except seeing through magnifying glass.

1 September: My duaghter was given streoids and she started responding and the fever stopped and we thought happily that she is coming out. Dr.Torsekar visited my daughter in the the evening and when asked by my wife why he did not inform the Disease or the effects of medicine , he told that as she was her mother who would not tolerate he did not inform and regarding effects he told that this the second case he is seeing in his career having such type of effect. We were surprised that who should know the disease and side effects than the parents. My wife controlled her anger against Dr.Torsekar as our primary aim was to bring our daughter back. He did not show any regret nor bothered about the state of the child and walked off.

2 Sep: Our daughter’s position was somewhat improved and the SGOT and SGPT started coming down. We were eagerly hoping that she will come back.

3 Sep: Our daughter showed some restlessness from the afternoon and we were told that since the liver was not functioning , the ammonia is released and affecting the brain and was the cause for restlessness and by night she was put under mask and her hands were tied. She started telling both of to go away and crying profusely.

4 Sep: Dr. Anita Mathews told there is need to put her under ventilator since there is some problem with her lungs and was under ventilator.. Her SGOT and SGPT was coming down.

5 Sep: Her lung’s position some what improved but her condition was critical since her kidndy which was functioning very well started failing and the Doctors told that they want to put her under dialysis.

6 Sep: She was put under dialysis and the BP rate got improved by the evening and we hoped everything would be alright.

7 Sep: Her BP never improved and she passed away around 3.30 after suffering a continuous puncturing of her body for almost 100 tests over a period of 16 days for no fault of her.

Tab Dapsone given by Dermatologist Dr.Ragunandan Torsekar for skin treatment should not be given without testing and effect should be seen within 7 days from the date of intake as per reports available from the net.. This was not done at all by Dr.Ragunandan Torsekar which is against the medical ethics.

The sad state of affairs by Dr.Raghunandan Torsekar , the Dermatologist , Dr.Sushma Malpani , the doctor who treated her and Dr.Rupwate who diagnosed TB which was not there and gave a very casual reply for the abnormality of Liver had taken away the life our Angel Saranya and also took our lives as we are only with bodies without anything left in the world. This is what a World Class professional treatment with care my daughter received.

The Important thing I would like to tell every body is

Pl. keep the medical histroy of your kids and also yours so that nothing of such sad event happen in your life.

Ask the doctors why they are giving the medicine , what are the side effects so as to save the precious life of our kids and ourselves.

Highlight the high handedness of doctors who treat the patients recklessly.

Kindly pray that our beloved daughter’s soul , who had lot of dreams for her age and was so affectionate and loving and was loved by lot of people , may rest in pease

I also thank to all my friends and relatives who had showed the concern and prayed for her recovery for their love and affection to us. We could not forget your love and affection and also our angel Saranya.

If you feel this is an atrocity meted to a kid , kindly bring it to all your friends and relatives which is my a sincere request from the bereaved father.

May God bless all.
With sincere thanks to one and all
Siva and Bhuvana.
