Paediatrician Vinay's poem on stampede victims wins hearts
Shivamogga: A 43-year-old senior paediatrician from Sarji Hospital, Dr Vinay Patil, garnered widespread appreciation for his poem about the deaths of 11 people in the Bengaluru stampede. The doctor, who harbours a passion for writing, composed a 12-line verse comparing the 11 fatalities to the 11 cricket players. His Kannada poem is titled 'Avaru Hannondu, Eavru Hannondu'. The verses draw a parallel between the cricket match and the stampede with lines such as 'Eleven of them played the game, these eleven climbed the bamboo stretchers (Chatta in Kannada). Cricketers played in the cricket stadium while these eleven fell in the cricket stadium. Cricketers were congratulated with vermicelli, and these bid farewell with sacred ash. Cricketers received the CM's awards and these received the CM's compensation'. The poem highlights both the cricket frenzy and the gravity of the losses. The composition appeared on social media platforms shortly after the incident, initially with an unknown author.
