CHEATING EVEN THE ONES WITH SPECIAL ABILITIES - 539

          CHEATING EVEN THE

                   PHYSICALLY 

                  CHALLENGED



I  had reason to be at a hospital in Tirunelveli for almost 3 days in connection with the stay of a relative of mine who was recuperating from a bout of illness . One gets rather numb with all that one sees within the confines of a hospital .

The following case comes to mind both as a shock as to how low the money minded would stoop to earn a fast buck and the pathetic treatment the helpless are given .
Here is a couple , the husband a Teacher at a High School at Cheranmahadevi under the special category quota . He is  totally vision impaired and was doing the teaching job by using the Braille Methodology. His loving wife was from an orphanage during her entire pre marriage years . They had a very sweet 4 year old daughter. They did not have a close relative of any sort and were almost on their own  . As can only  be imagined under the circumstances they were leading a happy and contended life till the following event took place .
The teacher had to be taken to a hospital in Nellai Town for a bout of flue . After the mandatory examination and tests the hospital informed the couple that it was a case of  Mild Cardiac Arrest and followed it with a medication process which by all accounts by them  entailed the use of steroids  . The poor teacher gained abnormal weight within 3 days and all their protests and request for discharge were turned down . The payment of Rs 38000 and protests from the other patients of the Hospital  secured his ultimate  release .
He is now at one of the more famous hospitals at Nellai Junction and is responding  to the treatment very well .

Please be very vary of all the treatments and procedures when there is a need to use the services of a HOSPITAL . You never know as to what level they will stoop to earn a fast buck even if it is from a Physically Challenged Lot .

 AYODHYA YAATRA  DAY - ONE     Sundar Holiday Travels  As instructed  by Mr Ashok of Sunder Travels , we were dot on time at 9.00 thanks primarily due to smooth flow of traffic from Vadapalani to the Chennai  Airport .  Other Yatrees also slowly trooped in . Ashok seemed to have his way with the Indigo Airways . Group Check in saved us a lot of time . Lunch packet Distribution done we were on our way and were before time at Lucknow .  Lucknow was a lot different from what I had imagined , airport was spotlessly clean as was their baggage handling services .  Mr Ashok saw to it that we were off on a Bus to Ayodhya in a flash . It was a near Two and a Half Hour journey and we reached the Resort by 5.30 pm .  Our Chennai to Lucknow Flight  was by The  Indigo Airbus A 320 Flight 6E 515  Aircraft with a capacity of 180 Passengers.  That , we from the Sunder Travels made up for the larger part of these Seats made ...

Ayodhya Yaatraa Day -3 - 704

Image
                  Ayodhya Yatra - Day 3  The highlight of the day was to be the Holy Dip in the Triveni Sangamam .  For the uninformed Triveni Sangamam is the place where the Three Rivers Ganga Yamuna and Saraswathy converge into one . It is the place where Veni Daanam is given after a bath in the River .  The 20 Minute Boat Ride takes you to this place of convergence of these three rivers . The Boatmen help you to take a dip in the water . Old set of clothes are discarded symbolising the discarding of everything bad and the start of a new fresh life .  Ganga is slightly murky while the Yamuna is clearer , Saraswathy is Antervaahini and it converges under water .  The Dhambadhi Pooja after the Dip in the Holy Waters  was performed with all the diligence that the occasion demands . The Sastrigal performed the Ritual which is an almost second time Marriage where vows are taken to lead a life in all happiness and be...

 VAIKOM VISIT - IN GODS OWN                     COUNTRY  Kerala has always been my favourite place of visit over the years . Its cleanliness , its greenery,  waterways , not to forget its spirituality and beautiful people in more ways than one  have always held  a special attraction for  me . We , that is me and my Better Half have visited Kerala before  and visited many of  its  Temples and Tourist Attractions.  One place missing in this list has been the Viakom  Sri Mahadeva Temple . We decided to embark  on  a visit to this place and Mami was spot on to point out that there was a direct Train from Ambasamudram to Vaikom Road by the 16792 Palaruvi Express starting from ASD at 11.57 PM and reaching Vaikom Road Station at 7.30 Am the next morning . Nothing could be better ,  We made the Reservations for both the Up  and Down Jorneys on the 11 th and 13 th Jun...
