Loving Brothers Gone In A Day

   It was raining very heavily at about 12.10 pm yesterday. I could hardly see in front of me but I could not stop my car because I was in the middle of  heavy traffic. All the vehicles are moving slowly due to limited vision. Little did I know that a tragedy was about to happen in my housing area. Two brothers were walking home from school after the downpour. They lived nearby their school. They were walking along a deep monsoon drain when the younger brother slipped and fell into the drain. The elder brother who was a year older than the 7 year old brother managed to grab his brother's hand but couldn't do much because he was also pulled along into the drain. Both of them were washed away in seconds as the drain was full with rushing water after the rain. Some people saw the incident but were helpless. They could only call for help. The boys were nowhere to be seen by the time help came. Their bodies, were found much later at the irrigation trap.

   Full of despair, that's what their parents must be feeling now. Sad beyond words, regrets for not fetching their children home because they couldn't imagine such tragedy would happen and maybe angry too because the drain was not covered. No matter how, two beautiful children were gone forever now, never ever to have the chance to grow up to see the world. Just gone like that in  a day. That was an accident. Nobody expected or wanted it to happen. So aren't life really fragile ? Value today for tomorrow...nobody knows...


Prescription : Live today like tomorrow will never come
