On 28th May, at about 10 P.M., I was in deep sleep at my friend’s house after finishing my day at Wipro. I did not attend an incoming call from unknown caller, thinking it would be from loan/creditcard guys. Within couple of minutes, I got a call but this time it is 
from my sister. I attended the call unwillingly but there was an ominous silence from my end and in no time I said opening my mouth "aaa…" after hearing from my sister that my parents met with road accident near Miryalguda town. I held all my credit cards and rushed from friend’s house to Dilsukhnagar (place where my family stays).
Before nasty thoughts occupied my mind, I meditated and requested the divine power to save my parents and other relatives in the vehicle. Few of my relatives gathered at our house at midnight 11.30 P.M. and all were crying along with my siblings. Latest information we had at 11.45 P.M. is that government hospital at Miryalguda denied to admit and suggested to shift to hospital in Hyderabad. Ambulance started from Miryalguda. We took the advice of Dr. Pasupuleti Somulu, highly reputed doctor in Dilsukhnagar zone of Hyderabad and brother of my Dad, who helped in admitting to Malakpet-Yashoda hospital. Doctors in Yashoda hospital gave no assurance on day1, day2, day3….but my enthusiasm did not ebb away. On the other hand, I swiped all my credit cards for the 1st time to the respective card limit within a week time.
Till date, I am not depressed for this unforeseen accident. My love towards my loved ones is detached. I mean, if someone falls in a pit, I neither jump into the pit nor cry sitting around but try to put most of my time and energy to pull the person out of the pit. I believe that the strength of character depends upon my ability to remain unaffected by adverse circumstances.
Dad is strong supporter of congress. In other words, a supporter of Ex-home minister Mr. K. Jana Reddy. Jana Reddy uncle visited Yashoda hospital to express his condolences to our family and asked the doctor
s to take a good care of my Dad. On my request, Jana uncle told the hospital management not to pressurize on the payments. I never knew that my Dad got such a giant human network. It became very tough to control the well-wishers/relatives visiting the hospital. It was a great relaxation for many after seeing Dad opening both of his dizzy eyes on 25th day.
Medical treatment in corporate hospitals is very expensive and Yashoda hospital is no exception. Doctors suggested shifting to NIMS hospital looking at our financial condition. But I knew that God almighty is there to take care of everything. Without me asking for help, many of my friends called and asked me to accept their financial help. They don’t know when I will pay back yet they are ready to give money. At that moment, I felt the invisible deep rooted love in their hearts and I am blessed to have such friends and relatives. I sincerely thank Ashwin, Avinash, Bhavana, Hari, HarithaReddy, Jagananna, Jitin sir, Madhuri, Rohan, Ravi, Shanthi, Shanthan, Sinanna, Sita, Srikanth, Swathi, Syam, Vikranth and my relatives & other friends for the help and support shown to our family. Your immense love can change any person having the thought "God is no-where" to "God is now-here".
Doctors said that the complete left part of my Dad got paralyzed. They kept a hole (tracheostomy) at neck for proper breathing and a hole (PEG) at stomach for food intake. After 43 days, on July 10th 2009, intellectual doctors explained the course of action to be taken and agreed to discharge my father. His condition at the time of discharge was pathetic. My family was in a hunt for the best physiotherapist, not fledgling & we found Dr.Sabu who agreed to treat my Dad only at Bowenpally. Our entire family shifted to Bowenpally and resided at the house of my elder sister but the doctor is regularly irregular. Our patience reached saturation state in two months and we shifted back to Dilsukhnagar. We now got a good physiotherapist couple Mr.KrishnaMohan & Mrs.Indira who are known for their dedication on work. Slowly, we are able to push 2 sessions per day for speedy recovery. It is painful to describe the pains my Dad has been undergoing. Life is like an onion; You peel it off layer by layer and sometimes you cry. Hats off to the confidence he held for this unprecedented situation that he could walk one day. By god’s grace, my father is now able to drag his leg with the help of splint shoe.
There is one name which I did not take so far and I cannot close this blog without telling about her. She is my sister Ujwala who has been playing a pivotal role all through this journey. She said good bye to her job in order to take care of Dad. She studied medical books on the related injuries to gain confidence on what she is doing. She maintained good contacts with nurses and doctors. If I am not exaggerating, I would call her as Mother Teresa (at least to my Dad). Tell me who will sacrifice to such an extent? Who will show such a great dedication without any personal expectation in these days? My family is lucky and I am proud to be a brother of her.
Alfred A Montapert said, "Man's ultimate destiny is to become one with the Divine Power which governs and sustains the creation and its creatures". Well, I have full confidence that the divine power will solve everything. I knew that God will take good care of people who trust him with pure desire and unconditional love. God is great.
