I Salute You !
How many of us have heard about the recent Meerut blasts ??? Maybe quite a few... And how many of us have heard about two individuals named Javed and Puja ??? Maybe not a lot of us !
Javed, who does not belong to Meerut, was there to meet a friend. His friend had a stall in the mela, the same mela which was glutted down by the fire... And Javed was there with his friend at the stall. With only 2 exit gates @ the mela (against the minimum prescribed norm of 4), Javed managed to get out and escape the fire. But, when the 18 year old turned back to look, he could not believe his eyes. He turns back, and sees women and children trying to evade the fire, trying to search for the exit gates, trying to escape the clutches of death ! And he could not hold himself. Not once did he worry about his own life, but rushed back in to save those children, who were helplessly fighting the fires. He managed to save the lives of atleast 10 people single-handedly ! His own life was the last thing on his mind. He suffered multiple injuries (very severe ones), and was admitted to the Safdarjung hospital, New Delhi. And just yesterday, he was declared dead ! Partly because of his injuries, but partly because of the negligence of the doctors ! What would you call this ? A very clear case of a very very courageous act - which we would rarely get to see in today's world ! Javed - I take this moment to salute you, and extend my support to your family, who should be proud to have a son like you, someone who has made his country proud, someone who has shown that humanity is not dead, someone who has given a lot of people a reason to live. Thank you, Javed !
Puja, a resident of Meerut, is another great individual who deserves accolades. During the escapade, she was never inside the mela ! But when she came to know about the fire breakout, she was just outside the premises. In some time, she got to know that there were not enough exits, and that people were searching for paths to break out of the fire ! So, not caring about her own safety, she went ahead and tore the sheet covering a part of the pandal. This ensured that another make-shift exit gate was created for several people ! And that saved a lot of lives. But due to the intensity of the fire, she has suffered multiple injuries, and is recovering in a hospital in Meerut. I would like to wish her on her heroic deed, and pray that she get well very soon. Thank you, Puja. That was indeed very brave !
Life is a mix of twists and turns, as they say. You never know what is gonna come next. But, it is because of people like these, that life seems so beautiful. Thank you guys, for reinstating the fact that life is much more than just living for yourself ! India stands to salute you today !
