Can't believe today is 6 months since we lost Akhil. It seems like yesterday.
At about this moment he had called to speak to us for the last time... as always updating us on his day and what was held out for the rest of the day.I wish we or he knew what was in store and maybe,maybe we would have been able to change things.
Well,looking back, how you wish you can change the way the world works.But, that is not to be.
Today,as Nithya and me went on a private visit to remember Akhil at a temple and then to feed a meal to some school kids,little did I realize that our car would take the flyover that got us bang in front of Carlton Towers.Noticed the broken glasses have been replaced but it still seems to have a cold and desolate feel. Not sure, it is only we, who feel that way?
Well, the way other families have coped with this tragedy are with strength and grace.Today's Hindu has carried many stories on the accident and the feature is well compiled, I thought I will attach that link.I have posted the other links on the Beyond Carlton face book group for those who may want to read more.
6months on, the accident so far,still gets media cover.
Our effort at getting justice and our striving to create a more fire safe Bangalore continues.
Meanwhile, I am sure all families must be tracing back to this day 6 months ago...our lives have changed forever!
