I disagree and don't feel that we should bring in regional sentiments
("any Goan worth his salt"... "a number of Indians") into a tragic
matter like death. It could happen to anyone. Hindsight is
perfect-vision, 20/20, as they say. It just takes a minute or two to
take a life-threatening decision. May this happen to fewer people.
What a waste of a productive life. And, in the meantime, may we have
the wisdom to build those structures that minimise the needless waste
of such lives!
Condolences to the young man's family. It could have also been any of ours! FN
