This certainly reaffirms and re-establishes my long held belief about the innate goodness of the human spirit........
Aruna R a daily traveller on Chennai's ubiquitous local trains certainly had more than a reason to smile and be eternally thankful to her fellow travellers as they helped deliver her newly born son within the dingy confines of the compartment........
Thirty year old Aruna; a long term resident of the sprawling city's Thiruvanchery locality was on her way to Egmore's Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology for her scheduled monthly check up on Monday morning when she felt an abrupt and piercing pain in her lower abdominal area........
She preferred to ignore the same the first time around but doubled up in pain when the pain seized her for the second time while realising that the same was nothing else but intense labour pains that were rocking her petite being........
Noticing the concern writ large on a fellow female travellers face Aruna managed to gasp out that she felt that her baby was on her way out and would not be able to withstand the sixty plus minute journey to her destination.........
Lo and behold a space was instantly created for the prospective mother to lie down in relative peace and one woman held her hand and prayed with her while a second essayed the noble and seemingly improbable role of midwife while a third constantly massaged her back and nether regions in an effort to alleviate the pain and facilitate the baby's arrival into this world........
Her bundle of joy a cute and healthy baby boy announced his arrival with a resounding cry sending the fellow woman passengers in the compartment into raptures of unbridled joy; what however caused consternation in the mind of the woman who essayed the role of the midwife was the fact that Aruna was bleeding copiously after the successful delivery of the light of her life and that the same could cause untold harm to her existence on planet earth.........
Whisking out her mobile phone without as much as a second thought; the good samaritan proceeded to apprise the Corporation Hospital in Saidapet about the arrival of the bay as well as the serious condition of the first time mother........
The train reached the said Saidapet station and the divine lady christened Kannagi held Aruna's hand all through the ordeal and only left the scene after handing over the newborn and his mother to a doctor and nurse team from the afore mentioned hospital who arrived on the scene some ten minutes or so after the train's arrival.........
All was well and ended well in this case as both the recuperating mother and her newborn son have been ruled out of danger and healthy by the doctors attending on them; "Aruna's due date was around January 1;2016 or so and hence the bay who weighs a little over 2.5 kgs at present was born around five weeks or so prematurely"..........
"Yes the lady in question did indeed suffer from distressing post delivery bleeding but a seemingly alarming situation has been more than satisfactorily contained and both the mother and baby should be discharged from the hospital within the next 72-96 hours"; the on duty doctor concluded.........
. Here's wishing Aruna; her little bundle of joy and husband Ramalingam the very best for their future.. .........
