What if your friend is seriously ill? What if all he needs is a favor… probably his last from you? What happens when life puts you in a tight spot? Answers are usually hard to come by. If you could relate a bit, read on!
Well, the reason why I’m striking this chord is primarily because of the incident that I’m about to tell you. One fine morning last week, wednesday or thursday I can’t recall, I recieved a call from my close friend. He sounded morbid. He told me that one of our close friends had suffered a serious accident. His car had crashed into a truck coming from the opposite side as he lost control on a wet section of the highway. He was admitted in a hospital in Noida. The condition was described ‘critical’ by his attending doctors. His parents were in a state of shock ever since they saw their son in a prison-cell of a room, with 2 tubes in the mouth for ventillation, two intravenous lines, a haphazard mesh of wires connecting to a machine which, for all it did, kept beeping at regular intervals and showed a wierd pattern on its green display.
