Dr Omkar of Dharward, Karnatka, was doing his MD (Medicinae Doctor) at P.G.I.M.R Rohtak. When his senior Dr Geeta Gathwala, the HOD refused him leave for his sister’s marriage, he committed sucide. If I were in his shoes and were similarly refused leave, I would have written an application stating that I am proceeding on 10 days’ leave for my sister’s marriage. After placing the said piece of paper on the HOD’s table, I would have walked out of her chamber to catch whatever flight or train was readily available for Dharward. Sorry, Dr Omkar, by committing suicide you have brought infinite misery not only on your parents, sister, all relatives on the groom’s side et al, but also lost your precious life -- a loss , irreparable. In today’s women’s empowerment era, Dr Geeta Gathwala may be affected but little. The lesson learnt is that suicide does not solve any problem. It rather creates numerous new hardships. Anyway RIP, Dr Omkar!
Here, nostalgic I, am impelled to share my own experience of one day being in a highly surcharged tight-corner situation of the type the deceased Dr Omkar was exposed to.
