Mumbai braveheart fights with life.

           

Monica, first day @ hospital

Dreams come true many time. In few cases, they're left with worse nightmares. This is what happened to 16 year old Mumbai residing girl Monica More, when she was returning home from college. She tried to catch crowded local in Ghatkopar but somehow she missed the step. She fell from the local and directly went into the gap between platform and train. In the horrible accident, the girl lost both her arms and fainted on the site. There was no ambulance, no doctor but one policeman who only desired to see the show instead of help. From the crowd, two young brothers came forward and picked up the girl. One of them borrowed cloth from fellow commuter and took her hand wrapping in it, while other hand was tied with handkerchief. Both took her in an auto but it was too late. The doctor failed to reattach her limbs as it was too late.

            She was moved to KEM Hospital where doctors feared about the infection. She had lost both her arms from shoulder and she had also lost courage to live. Monica was a bright student who was aspiring to become a Chartered Accountant. It was her only dream for which she was preparing for. Therefore Monica was in a big shock after the accident. Apart from a student, Monica had tremendous ability of doing beautiful Mehendi, too. Reading the incidents in news papers, several people came forward for moral support to her who had lost their limbs in same accidents.

Monica accepts the truth and becomes stronger on 3rd day @ KEM

As the girl was poor, she was not even able to bear the medical expenses. But the cities huge hearts came forward to help her including some trust like Sidhdhivinayak. Dr Shubhangi Parkar, the dean of the KEM Hospital declared that the artificial limbs of the girl would cost 10 to 50 Lakhs rupees. On the second day at KEM Hospital, many people arrived there and help Monica financially. Her father broke down on the same day when a little boy gave him 100 Rs. He thanked all the people who prayed for her daughter and helped him financial.

           

Monica meets bothers

On 4rth day at hospital, she got back some courage and desired to live life. She was looking very happy. She took IDLIS in breakfast and walked first time after the accident. She thought that something was missing but she accepted the truth that from now, she would have to live life with it. The next day, she met those brothers who saved her life. She cried seeing them and thanked them. She called them her brothers after the accident and her mother told them that they were the Angels sent by God who saved life of her daughter. I am happy that Monica has now gathered enough courage to live life again. But she has brought a revolution in the railways. Now a big question over the railways about the safety of the people has been raised. Even after Monica’s accident, several people have fallen between the gap of platform and train, few have also lost life but how long it will keep happening. The numbers of commuters are increasing in the city everyday but the medium of commuting is preferred only locals which save both time and money. In the pick hours a local carries 5,500 people, while it is made to carry only 2,000 people. Now you can imagine how people are commuting everyday and losing life. Monica is not the only girl who has suffered from such accident but there are many who have gone through such horrible accident. Life of Mumbai if full of struggle and the one who can only win who wins all the battles and jumps on the stairs of success. Shweta, from Kamathipura goes to US for studies and Monica gains power to live life again. She is always in my prayers. I hope she’ll succeed in life after such horrible accident.
