Never a question of laziness over safety...

Never a question of laziness over safety...

It was one of those days when I was inhumanly forced to rise up from my peaceful slumber. I was running late for my ENT posting, so, hurriedly I finished my morning chores and set off at half past seven, lost in thought. I missed my train, as I got down at Park station and was caught up in the overwhelming crowd. It was then that I noticed a woman in her thirties with a child alight from the train after it had started moving. Unfortunately she slipped and was dragged for some time by the train. But luckily, she survived. Apparently, she wanted to cross over to the other platform by going through the train compartment as she was too lazy to use the stairs! You can be lazy, but not at the cost of your precious life!
