When Anish’s father came to know about Anish’s accident, he quickly went to the accident spot. After the accident, Anish was lying unconscious on the road and the bike was on the other side of the road. His father took him to the nearby hospital. There was urgency in the voice of the nurse sent by the doctor to call him. He felt a surge of anxiety as he entered the doctor's cabin. The doctor told his father that Anish's brain had been severely injured and he would collapse in a couple of hours. However, he was not ready to accept that. So he shifted Anish immediately to a leading hospital. The neurosurgeon there, examined him and decided to go for a surgery. Alone he was waiting outside the operation theatre at 2.30 am, weeping continuously. Wild thoughts like "In what state is he going to be after the surgery? Is he going to be alive? Is he going to be normal? Will he ever speak again? Is he going to walk, or will he have to use the wheelchair?” ran in his mind. After the surgery, the doctor told him that in a scale of 1 to 15, where a normal person would be rated 15, Anish could be rated only three. He was then shifted to a special room with 24 hour special nurses to take care of him. Tubes were inserted into his body to aid breathing, feeding and urination. The right side of his skull was cut open and kept in his abdomen for future use. The only movements in his body were that of his head, which moved right and left and his eye balls. He was thinking why that plight had befallen his son.
