I saw him in the hospital. It took me a few seconds to distinguish him from a fearsome skeleton. He had come there for the treatment of his acute liver cirrhosis. He was waiting for a donor. A good match would save his life, his attendants hoped. But it was a question of time. His only child, a 10-year-old motherless daughter, was suffering from a rare incurable neurological disorder. His worry for the daughter and his need for alcohol grew unabated with time. He became doubly alcoholic. Eventually, he died from want of timely transplantation, leaving his daughter doubly hapless.

Overwhelmingly distressing. Poignantly presented, Paritosh.

Organ donors are hard to come by. A well written poignant story, Paritosh.

So sad he didn't find a donor to save both himself and double trouble for this poor girl.
