Ugly Truth: India's development

Every where I find news these days about Indian development, growth and prosperity. Sometimes it makes me crazy and sometimes sad. I am really confuse about the development word. What does it really mean? Still according to world bank data's that 70 % of India's population are below poverty line(BPL). From my point of view, India is not poor but Indians are poor.  Still people staying in sand made home, forced to drink savaged water. Still children under 14 year of age working in factory or in house as maid. How we  can say that we have developed? Not a single step.
First source of development is implementing good educational system. Its government responsibilities to give free and fair educations. But as usual govt fails.
Recently i heard a news of Assam that few people were falsely running a school and state govt was paying money for the post of principle and teachers. Although name of school only existed in paper. First and most important step towards the development is education. Yes it is true that govt has opened may schools, but are there any quality teacher? Good education system makes good society and at the same time they can use latest technologies to solve problems of day to day life. Also they would aware of dirty politics of cast and greed.    

SRK and his drama

Indian people have suffered a lot not  just in peace, but in monetary wise and  loss of lifes after independence because of Pakistan.  In simple words, we just can not trust Pakistan and we should not in future. After 26/11, and series of blasts in metropolitan cities of India, how any true patroitic Indian even think of any ties with Pakistan of any type. Pakistan is completely destroyed and is on the verge of collapse. Even after such horrific experience how our beloved actors to whom we have had supported from start of his carrier till now, can be so much diplomatic ? Only motto of Pakistan is to see India divided in multiple pieces and to implement this, they are following various strategies like supporting Maoist, lending support to ULFA, giving one third land of Kashmir to China as gift, rising human right violations in Kashmir although we know the actual truth. There were numerous incidents which proved hostile nature of Pakistan. Even after this, we seek peace, which seems to be seeing dream in day time. Someone rightly said we can not choose our neighbors but we can choose right strategies to counter them. Even after initiation of talks several time we failed to reach conclusion because their hostile behavior. They support Jehadis from their soil, we all know about Pakistan sponsored terrorism. Thousands of people died in bomb blasts in last 5 years, how SRK like people support even sport ties with them. Its insult to martyrs who fought restlessly to protect our people day and night. I think the main purpose of all such controversies to promote his movie MNIK, which was over emotional and really bad movie. Now it seems, its become part of bollywood in order to promote movie, one has to create controversy to grab media attention.

7 Days ( continuation from previous blog)

Monday :

"Happy birthday bhai, i know its  late for your birthday wish ", these words woke me up, i saw watch and it was 7:30 AM morning. I gave tired smile to him because yesterday's event didn't let me sleep whole night. I said while consoling my self and Sudeep " We will celebrate my birthday after he comes from unconscious state and he will come back to again light-up our life " . Actually Rajdeep was in state of just before of comma and there was high chance of slipping in coma however I was reluctant to accept this but anything was possible at that time and I had to accept the result if it would have happened. Slipping in coma would have made the case worst because coming back from comma is very rare especially in Hepatic Encephalopathy. We were just praying. It was 12:30 PM, Sudeep came from hospital and said " Dr has said -  " There is no improvement and no deterioration and we are closely watching each movement. Just pray for him. Next 24 hrs is very crucial for him"  ". I didn't ask anything to him and went to canteen to had lunch along with him. "Lots of carelessness from doctors side led this situation to occur" he started the conversation after completion of lunch. " Today's Doctors don't know anything, they just go in medical college to have romance " i said in reply forgetting Sudeep is in final year of medical college. He looked at me and said "Yes you are right but not all do this." and he smiled. I too smiled on his argument and it was rarest moment of being happy for few seconds in that situation. At evening, Sudeep's phone rang while flashing Hospital's contact number on display. He looked terrified and which made me more worried. He picked the phone and I tried to understand conversation. After completion of phone, he said " Nurse ( who was in charge of taking care of Rajdeep)  in ICU has called me immediately " said tensely. I had no words to say. He said " Go to parents room if something happens you need to be there " and i accepted his advise. After half an hour i got call from Sudeep, i picked phone while clearly i could see my hand shivering, "His status is same but we have a problem here and you come in front of hospital I am there" he said and i felt much needed relief. "We  have big problem now" he said when i came close to him. "What " i said in reply. " His hemoglobin has come down drastically from yesterday and he requires 2 bottles of fresh blood right now to keep fighting for life " he continued. "There is a blood bank in this hospital but we need fresh blood which means donor should have donated blood with in 24 hrs  and we have to arrange donor right now". " I can give blood, lets go to blood bank and have a check" i said as fast as possible and went to blood bank. Unfortunately my and Sudeep' blood group didn't match with rajdeep. We looked hopelessly to each other, we had to arrange donor anyhow. We started to make calls separately to our friends or relative if they could give blood of required blood group and it was urgent. After putting much effort, Sudeep convinced his school friends ( who were in ranchi at that time) to donate blood of required blood group. Few minutes later, they were in hospital. There was natural joy and sign of relief on our face while seeing  them although we had knew, we had to be prepared for facing such difficult situation in coming days. After donation of blood, these guys went to respective home and we thanked them by heart. I saw my wristwatch and it was showing 11:45 pm. Sudeep kept hand on my shoulder and said " More tough and difficult situation can come" I nodded.

Tuesday :

"There is still no sign of improvement but positive side is no deterioration either " Sudeep said to me on breakfast table. "I think if he survives today, we have a chance to save him and I do believe in miracles" he continued while taking tea ship. " Every second seems to be a year here and it kills me" I said to him in sad tone. "How much we are paying now for his treatment" a question cropped in my mind and i directed it to Sudeep. "You won't believe, its 22K per day" he said in reply. "Ohhh !!! " I exclaimed. "Actually hospital charges are not adding much but cost of his medicines are around roughly 15k". " Live saving drugs are of different kind, These drugs are only made for these patients because his liver is completely damaged and these drugs normally do not affect liver." he continued. Actually he was suffering from acute liver failure which causes  liver to stop functioning in normal way and hence stopping from doing detoxification of food waste. Ammonia Gas was spreading fast in his body through bloods which was major concerned to doctors. " Even if he comes from unconscious state, he can suffer from complete memory loss or paralysis " Sudeep said. " Ohhh God !!" i couldn't utter any more. "Toxic gases can seize his mind and can make permanent damage". " Lest hope for the best" he concluded the conversation. Entire rest of the day Rajdeep's status was same.

Wednesday :

No much big problem had come today and his health status continued to be same throughout this day. Today was comparatively peaceful day.
 

7 Days

              Friday Morning :
        "Grrrr.........." my alarm clock sounded, broke my sleep abruptly. I saw the clock with half opened eyes and the timing was 8:30 am. I was feeling very sleepy because i couldn't  sleep whole night and was thinking constantly about health of youngest brother ( Yesterday i was informed that he was hospitalized  because of severe jaundice and he was so weak few bottles of saline were used ) and was not in mood to go office, but i was forced to come as there was an issue with client and i had no option. In office too, i was  constantly thinking about him "how did happen to him??, He is so careless, never eats proper foods. How is my mom and dad ......". "Sandeep..." i was interrupted, boss called me. He showed me the actual bug in software and wanted to be fixed urgently, and he tried to pressurized me as much as possible and yet again i had no choice. Also i tried to engage my self in work. After few minutes, i got phone call from younger brother Sudeep, "We need you, come urgently."  I felt shocking wave and my tension increased 100 times, "there  must be some serious problem " constantly it was coming in my mind and i had to leave as quickly as possible. I made reservation on Air India using traveling portal and flight was on sunday. After putting few hours, i finally managed to fix the bug and came out from office at 8:30 pm.

        Saturday :
        I was feeling helpless, could not be doing any thing. I was bombarded with all short of feelings, sometime negative and sometime positive. I was consoling myself  "Need not worry, he would be alright. Its our bad luck". Entire day i felt restlessness, any how i slept early because i had to catch flight in early morning.

        Sunday :
        I woke up at 5:30 am, hurriedly got ready and with my best effort i managed to reach at airport on time. The flight was indirect. First i had to go Delhi and then from Delhi to Ranchi but without changing plane. It was approximately 4:55 hrs of journey, however it was Air India and offcourse national carrier. How we can expect reaching on time. As per our expectation our flight got delayed 2.5 hrs. Journey was tired and frustrating. I thought its name should be changed to Bhagwaan Bharoose. I reached Ranchi at 4 pm, my cousin sister came to pick me and she drove me to hospital directly without any delay. On the way, i fired some questions on sister to clear my confusion and i got some positive answers which calmed my tensed mind that was much needed however that lasted for few minutes. After reaching hospital, i saw my parents were very depressed, although till now i was unaware of actual problem or illness, i consoled my parents as much as possible in positive way. It was 7:30 evening, my brother called to come with him to see Rajdeep and before entering hospital, he whispered "It is too late and surviving percentage is only 2 or 3. Doctors have responded negatively, anything is possible now". "Anything" i screamed, "Oh God !!!!! Why u did not tell me ?? what happened to him?? ". I was shaking so hard after hearing, i couldn't stand for while and sat on outside hospital pavement. "He is suffering from Hepatic Encephalopathy, deadliest disease, next 48 hours are very crucial for his survival, if he survives then we have some chance to save him" said while crying and that could not stop me from crying with him. We hugged each other but could not stop crying, then i saw sky said "Please God save him, take eveything from me but just save him". "It happened due doctors negligence and basically drug induced" he continued and "Everything thing depends on God now" he ended after telling series of events that led to this situation. I was shocked and traumatized. "See him alive today bhai, tomorrow it might be late" he concluded chat. I said him in reply "Bhai, we would see his smile once again, nothing would happen to him. God could not do this to us". Finally after taking some rest, i entered the hospital, went to ICU and saw him. He was lying on bed eye closed and i could see his skeleton very clearly (lost high weight), his body was shaking very hard (typical symptoms of Hepatic Encephalopathy ), he had shrunked little bit. He was on life supporting machine (ventilator) and he was survived till now because of that machine only. My patience gave up,  i came out of hospital while weeping and Sudeep followed me. Unfortunately today was my birthday.
