A really sad day for all of us, students of SRKR Engineering College.

Early in the morning a group of eight of our friends who set out from here, Bhimavaram to a birthday party in Rajuamundry met with an accident en route. One of them, Preethi died instantly on spot while Pravallika died while being taken to the hospital. Four of them, Vindhya Vimala, Chandra Lekha, Rajasekhar and Eswar received major injuries. All four of them are now in hospital receiving treatment. Details of their conditions are yet to come out. The other two, Balaji and Das Kiran were lucky in that they did not receive any major injuries. All of them except Vimala, who is from final year EEE, are from final year Mechanical engg.

Whenever I read the maxim 'Speed thrills but Kills', I used to make light of it. But now the impact of the truth in that maxim has come down as too big a shock upon all our friends and college mates, to bear. Most of us all still too shocked to even think of what happened. Most are yet to digest the truth of what has happened to our friends, some of whom we met as recently as yesterday night. The college is still reeling under the deadly impact.

The whole college is saddened by this and the worst part is that this incident has brought back all the bad and shocking experiences to mind. All of us are still so gloomy and some are so depressed.

I don't even know what prompted me to post this. I've had some nightmarish experiences as shocking as these earlier. But still the pall of gloom that has descended upon us has knocked the hope even out of me. I'm feeling really helpless. As some friend pointed out a few moments back, Gods must be crazy to play this little game of life and death with us. I'm no atheist; nor am I so religious. I don't know if they are crazy. But I only pray to all of them to get those still in the hospital out of that living hell and help us overcome this grief and let live with a little happiness and hope.

And I request every soul on this earth to pray for whoever Gods they trust for the same.

Right now I'm a bit disoriented and am not exactly aware of what am I writing here. I just spit out whatever came to my mind to find catharsis.

Lets Pray.

I love u forever , Steve Irwin......

I love u Steve Irwin....

Even my mom, who never bothered about anything except her daily soaps, used to watch u, with delight, jumping in to water to catch a turtle, expertly handling a snake but more than anything else, u, fearlessly, feeding those big crocs.
Who else can get anyone of us more interested in wildlife other than you.
Oh......... I miss u so much.
I feel like crying right now........
U are the one who made me really interested in wildlife.
U are the one I used to look up to, for some inspiration whenever others ridiculed my idea of becoming a conservationist and a wild life photographer.
We miss u so much buddy.
May your loving and caring soul rest in peace ....
I wonder if any one can ever step into ur shoes.....leave alone filling them .....
I take an oath that I'll try my best to preserve all natural the world u loved so much.

Good bye dear.......

Longing for u......
