Tucked away inside the newspaper was this piece which makes people think. Think about what a mother can do for her children, think about what delays can do to a life, think about the tragedy of life, think about the feelings of this woman in her last moments about her actions and her hope that her life would give her children the vision that she thought they needed.
CHENNAI, MARCH 19. In a bid to help her children get vision, a 36-year-old woman, allegedly committed suicide in her house at Kodungaiyur, on Friday.
According to C.Sylendra Babu, Joint Commssioner of Police, North, Tamizh Selvi's two sons — Kumaran (17) and Mohan Kumar (15) — are visually impaired. A few months ago, the woman pledged her eyes with Sankara Nethralaya.
Before hanging herself, she wrote a note that she had pledged her eyes for her sons.
The police informed Sankara Nethralaya authorities and the eyes were removed, Mr. Babu said.

Tsunami - Message from God
Times of India - 2/1/2005 - Sunday
PORT BLAIR: Was the killer tsunami a message from god? A reflection on the way man lives? Yes, says Bishop Alex Dias of the Stella Morris Cathedral Church, the main Catholic church.
"I believe that the tsunami is a warning. A warning from god to reflect deeply on the way we lead our lives," said Dais, as he stood among the ragtag tarpaulin tents in the 900-strong relief camp the church is running for tsunami survivors.
