I recently got an email from a friend which carried nothing but an attachment.. the attachment carried information about availability of free of cost heart surgery facility for kids in Bangalore.This mail was not new to me and as far as I remember has been floating on Internet for almost two years....anyhow I still forwarded it thinking it's an information worth sharing with everyone...
The attachment reminded me of a child with heart problem in Uttarakhand, about whom my husband (Sanju) had told me a couple of days back...his father was given all monitory support by NRI Uttrakhandis but every time he was admitted in AIIMS for the surgery his BP wud shoot up and operation had to be postponed.. his father became voracious and stating he had no more money for commuting from Uttarakhand to Delhi again and again with the child; he wanted all the money whether the operation was conducted or not because as per him,the money had been collected in his son's name...the NRIs sensed the greed and refused to make any money transfers until surgery was performed..I asked Sanju if that child could benefit from this...prompt I got the answer the child had already been taken there but they don't perform complicated surgeries... hey, I didn't see any disclaimer or asterisk signifying conditions apply to that good news!!
I don't know how many of such mails are forwarded on daily basis thinking it might help someone....some even say that for each person you forward this mail to I will get 10 Cents for my child's treatment.. we never ever try to find out the sanctity of such mails and keep forwarding, thinking and hoping it might actually help someone in need...whether it does or not..who bothers who cares...neither you nor I!!!
