In Agony

Sandhya Narang

Sandhya Narang is in pain. She is bed-ridden with multiple fractures, having broken her hip bone and shoulder blade in a freak accident at home. She had to be admitted to the Brahma Kumari hospital (near Andheri Station) in a precarious state and after a month, was discharged recently. According to her friend Vandana Kankanwar, she is out of danger now.
Sandhya happens to be one of our more senior and much adored members, but has always maintained a low profile because of her painfully shy and diffident nature. After the untimely demise of her husband four years back (ref post of September 20, 2010), she had turned even more reclusive and irregular for the exercises.

Lt Col (retd) Harvinder Jauhar

It is a shame we did not notice her absence for the past two months or make any inquiries.
Turns out Sandhya was playing with her dogs (she has two of them) at home when she slipped and fell awkwardly on the floor injuring her hip. She lay immobile groaning in pain, giving the dogs the impression that her falling down with a thud was also part of the fun and games. Playfully the bigger dog jumped on her body, cracking her shoulder instantly. The lady was in no state to defend herself.
Although it would be unfair to disturb Sandhya now as she recuperates, we would, through this blog, convey our concern and wish her a speedy recovery. We know it is agonizing for her to perform routine activities and even stretching out to answer the phone can be excruciatingly agonising. But to her son and daughter at home, we can only say that if there is some way we can be of any use, they must not hesitate to get in touch.
Meanwhile, for the record, Harvinder Jauhar has had to say goodbye to the Club for now as he leaves for his hometown, Meerut today. He isn’t sure when he would return. We wish him also the very best and look forward to his early return.
