Philanthropist and a pillar of society, forty eight year old Gurbaksh Singh had just completed his early morning walk with about a dozen companions, all prosperous businessmen. He complained of uneasiness for a while and then suddenly collapsed onto the road. His friends looked at each other with concern but completely clueless as what to do.
Three of the men slinked away, eight of them just looked at each and at people passing by, all waiting for someone to do something and hoping for a miracle to occur. No one wanted to contact the police as that would mean huge problems and unlimited personal agony.
One man picked up Gurbaksh's mobile phone found the number of 'Balli', Gurbaksh's son and explained the situation to Balli. Balli and his mother rushed to the scene, picked up Gurbaksh and took him to the hospital.
All this took about an hour, by the time the doctors attended to Gurbaksh, it was too late.
All who are born must one day die.
The tragedy however is that Gurbaksh like a million other Indians could in all probability have been saved with a little first aid and CPR (Cardio pulmonary resuscitation) by a trained individual The hands on training and practice for CPR takes no more than 30 to 60 minutes of training.
