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. Dr Dhanajaya Sarji, chairman of Sarji Hospital and MLC, later revealed the writer's identity. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo In conversation with TOI, Dr Vinay said he composed the verse on a prescription pad upon hearing about the tragedy, though space constraints limited additional lines.

Besides being an actor, he is also a mentor, theatre director, writer, and producer. The actor we are talking about is none other than Vinay Pathak.

He even enrolled in Stone Brook University in the United States to pursue an MBA, but destiny had other plans. During his time in time in U.S., he developed a fascination for cameras and lights, and he started performing on stage, and soon theatre became his second home. Balancing both together, he attended acting workshops along with his ongoing studies. Eventually, he realised that his true calling is not in business but in building and playing characters. Halfway into his MBA, he dropped out of it and returned to India to chase his acting dream. Coming back to India, he ventured into his career with Doordarshan's show Hip Hip Hurray. Carving his own niche, Vinay got into this industry with sheer talent and dedication. But the turning point came for Vinay with the 2007 comedy Bheja Fry, in which he portrayed the innocent and lovable Bharat Bhushan. His impeccable comic timing, strong screen presence, and simplicity won hearts of million with him soon turning into a household name. Besides this, he has also done some impeccable performances in films like Dasvidaniya, Chhoti Si Baat, and Gaur Hari Dastaan. But what stood out was his ability to make every character feel real and relatable. Vinay Pathak's contribution to cinema isn't just limited to acting. He has been a theatre teacher, guest lecturer, and mentor to many aspiring actors. Recently, he got a lot of praise for his work in the film Chidiya and the web series Gram Chikitsalay. Famously known 'Bihari Babu,' he has done justice to this title by carrying the essence of Bihar with him, which is his simplicity and warmth. From humour to pain, Vinay is a versatile actor who can emote any feeling on the screen.
