Hello Rajat,
Good to see you back and to know that you are alright.
I know how terrible it must have been for you being on the same train and not know what is going to happen the very next second.
It was really very gruesome and terrible of those people who had done the blasts, i do not how they can kill so many innocent people without even thinking for a second. My heart bleats for those who have lost their near & dear ones, my prayers to those who have passed away, may they find eternity and a place in Heaven.
HATSOFF to you Mumbaikars for taking this phase of sorrow very bravely.
Regards

Hi all,
Just today after a week am checking the forum..many thanks for your concern..
Preeti,
There was an article on page 4 on Times of India edition on last thursday 13th July'06- regarding my comments on the tuesday blasts survivors where i mentioned my experience on the same..tried to attach the clipping of the newspaper but its is too big 1.2 MB to be attached to this forum..just that whole situation made me realize how gruesome life can be..and i tried my best by donning the role of doctor in providing the first aid to injured people..frankly having seen the situation from close quarters and the media reportings with politician's comments have disgusted me!..
Even yesterday when i met the police their approach made me further disgusted as they said yes..we met you at the site blah..the fact was that no one from the adm or police was there at the site which is just 50 metres from Bandra station!! Nor there were any visits in the hospital at Bhahba hospital on 3rd floor from those high profile people on that night..
Frankly, we lack a planning & foresight on dealing with such situation!! most of the patients needed post trauma care which is not possible by the doctors..that's what i did..must have attended each patient atleast 30 times and assured them that they are fine n on the road to recovery n left the hospital when all got the discharge slip and some one was there to take them home..infact i remember there was one patient who told me that he's got a hole in his head..when i looked at him..at his wound told him that he is absolutely fine!!..he asked me if am a doctor..i replied yes..then he was feeling much better.. :D at the end i told him the truth..he thanked me..n i said wouldn't you done the same if i was in the same compartment which was my usual one..just that day i took the diff coach on the same ill-fated train..
Am still in the process of locating the family of the deceased and return his casio pocket diary which unfortunately is not working..
Shall write more this topic later..
Once again thanks to all of you..

Dear Rajat,
Welcome back!!
We have all been gaining so much from you and will do so in the future also. But it is an overwhelming experience to read your article in TOI, I was in tears reading that and the mail you have sent.
It really pains that people who have power are not using it for the right cause, but on the other side it makes me proud to be an Indian as people like you are contributing so much for a noble cause.
Sir, I truly admire you for all you have done.

Thanks to Bhawana and all the other CiteHR members who have commented for well being of mumbaikars and CHR members. With gods grace everything is fine but the rage in mumbaikars is very high this time if something is not done about it this will continue till the end of mankind.
