The return from home was uneventful and we're able to fetch up, back at our place, just in time to facilitate my customary evening walk!
We'd a pleasant appointment thereafter, in joining up for a pot luck at my friend's place. The ladies had decided upon the menu and the dishes that each one was to contribute. I've always found such interactions to be meaningful and great occasions to unwind and pick up new friends, who share my interests! The occasion was no different and the evening was spent fruitfully, with us deciding to embark on a new project towards rain harvesting and waste disposal. It's our fervent hope that we'd be able to make a small contribution to the society without fanfare or publicity!!
Tailpiece.
Depressing news from the national highway of the 'highly' literate state. A forty year old gentleman, who also happens to be an ex-serviceman, died in one of the city hospitals after two days of battle for survival, simply because timely medical help was not provided.
He was on his two wheeler and was rammed by a tipper lorry, which fled the scene like all cowards do. But more ignominy was in store for the hapless gentleman. He lay bleeding on the road for a couple of hours because :-
(a) the local police guys refused to act because the spot of the accident happened to be in disputed
jurisdiction between the two adjacent police stations.
(b) no vehicle that passed by the accident victim was willing to stop and transfer him to the nearest
hospital for timely medical assistance.
Truly and without doubt, this is god's own country with devil's own people - me, included! Absolutely, disgusting!!
