Tag Post: Light an eye : Eye Eye...

It was certainly a very late night. 1:30 and i was still working in the wards coz i didnt wanna get fired at the rounds next morning. I went through my pocket diary and ticked most of the scribbled one liners.My mind began to calculate the amount of sleep i'd be getting that night. 'If i work for another half an hour,i wouldnt have to skip breakfast n still have a good four and a half hours nap...' i mumbled.The clock struck two and i began to descend down the stairs towards my room.I could hear some people yelling, some quick steps here and there,screeching sound of the strechers... was a daily routine but i was curious.I didnt wanna sleep and be awaken  10 mins later.So i continued down the stairs.I was facing the entrance, and towards my right was the casualty.The whole path was a bloody mess...
There were five of us trying to save a 20-odd year old.He'd had a train accident and we were pretty sure,he'd lost a lot of blood.Somebody had traced his parents in the meanwhile. Two of us were  working on the bleeders,the others pushing fluid and doing the ambu.We were all drenched in blood.The guy obviously was from a good family. Atleast his clothing suggested that.I couldnt tell how much time had gone by,when i heard voices at the casualty door.It was  D-day.Somebody had to approach his parents at the door and break the news.He was not going to survive...
It was almost four when, we were filling in the notes.His father seemed to have the biggest heart of all the six people accompanying him.The boy was his only son,yet i could see him consoling others.He walked up to us a few minutes later n with tears in his eyes,said something, which has never left my mind...
"Take whatever you want... eyes,kidneys,liver... anything that'd make a difference to someone else's life.I've anyways lost my boy."

My dear friends,if that man could think of such a noble cause at such an hour of tragedy, i can only hope that everyone of us does make an effort to make a difference in someone else's life.


This post is dedicated to millions of folks spread over the world who

are blessed with the highest sensibility, yet can't experience the glory of nature's beauty.

One
can donate a pair of eyes which will be donated to 2 individuals. The eyes
require to be expelled within 6 hours of death. One can donate eyes
irrespective of blood group, blood type, diabetes, cataract, blood
pressure, etc. We all would perish some day in the bosom of mother
earth, what remains is the legacy you leave behind. For those who have
already done it, thank you! For those, you intend to plan it some day,
please don’t wait! For those who are pondering over it! Mate, buck up!
This is the moment!!
 N finally,thanks Ash.K for tagging me n prompting me to write something sensible.
