Dear Readers Hope you all are doing well and celebrated the Diwali! 3 years back, when we bought the Nexon petrol, it took 3 months to go for a long trip which is around 550-kilometer one way. Usually, for long trips I prefer to have a halt after 300 kilometers, and I never travelled 500+ kilometer in one go with family. So, we had a halt in between and went to Tiruchendur. And, we reach Tiruchendur by evening and have a darshan as usual. In the next day we sometimes have a darshan once again and start returning home. However, my spouse friend advised us to have a early morning darshan to avoid the crowd. So, we went to the temple by 230 AM in the morning, ...
Dear Readers
Hope you all are doing well. Today we are going to hear the story of two friends. Let's assume they are Suresh and Vineth. It is a true story. Just I have hidden their original names.
It was during the corona period; Entire world was uncertain about what was going to happen next. First time in the history, people started ignoring the neighbors as it could endanger their life. Suresh's father-in-law Mr.Murugan (assuming) left his family more than a decade ago, primarily due to his addiction to Alcohol.
Though Suresh and his family and Mr.Murugan were in the same city, Mr. Murugan was not aware of Suresh and his family's whereabouts. One midnight around 2 am, Suresh got a call from a police station saying his FIL passed away. They did not take it seriously in the first place, since his FIL had played this game many times in the past.
Without knowing the entire story, police felt something wrong with the family, they did not even bother about his passing. After receiving the call multiple times, family started believing that it was a true information. Police even assured travel pass to take his mortal remains to Native. However, none of his family members were interested to do the last rites in the native.
His relatives did not show any interest to do this may be because of Covid or because of his alcohol addition, still it is unacceptable. As it was a complete lock down period, It was a challenge to Suresh. He was determined not to ask any help from anyone as it could put them in danger.
Suresh had a plot nearby and one person (Vineth) next to that plot had a car. Since Suresh was recently moved to that area, he asked Vineth to share the contact details of a cab or auto. Vineth agreed to share initially but he decided to come with his car instead of arranging a cab or auto.
The entire work started around 9 am. They firstly went to the police station, no proper response from them. They were waiting there until the SI who handled this case last night to come for the duty. That SI reached the station in the noon; he arranged a discussion between the company administration and Suresh. All these formalities were required as the incident took place in a property owned by Mr.Murugan's employer.
And then Suresh and Vineth went to a GH to collect the mortal remains of Murugan. Fortunately, Suresh could find a person who could arrange everything for the final rites. Using this opportunity, the organizer quoted an unusually huge price. Without any option Suresh agreed and paid the amount in full.
To Suresh's surprise. Mr.Murugan's nephew paid a courtesy visit in between. only these three people saw the mortal remains of Mr.Murugan. When everything completed in the evening, the time was around 530 PM. In between they did not even go for a tea break, etc because of covid. Vineth took huge risk to support Suresh in a critical time, and he just returned from his night shift. Vineth did not even take food for the whole day. Suresh was completely surprised to see a person like Vineth. They became close friends after that and it continues till date.
Thanks for reading. It is an opportunity for me to write about the great people I see in my life.
