    Nagesh, Why blame Nishan? He was just following a religious tradition of Aati Amavasya.

    Nagesh, Why blame Nishan. He was only taking his ritual holy bath on occasion of Aati Amavasya. This time his GOD let him down.

    UNFORTUNATE .

    ONE MORE YOUNG SOUL LOST .

    MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE.

    YOUNG PEOPLE NEVER THINK ABOUT CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ACTIVITIES DUE TO HOTBLOOD RUNNING IN THEIR VEINS.

    PARENTS SHOULD TAKE EXTRA CARE & GIVE CAUTION TO THEIR CHILDRENS REGULARLY .

    THE AGE BETWEEN 14 TO 21 IS TEMPTING TO DO WHATEVER COMES IN MIND . THEY NEVER APPLY SECOND THOUGHT.

    AGAIN SAD NEWS.MAY HIS SOUL RIP.

    I FEEL GOVT SHOULD MAKE COMPULSORY SWIMMING CLASS, KARATE CLASS, IN EACH SCHOOLS.

    NOW EDUCATION TREND HAS BEEN CHANGED. BETTER THIS SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE IN THAT.

    SO THAT WE CAN AVOID SUCH INCIDENTS IN FUTURE.

    PARENTS CAN'T HOLD ALWAYS THEIR CHILDREN.

    IF WE TURN THE OLD PAGES WE CAN FIND SO MANY DROWNING CASES SINCE LAST 1 MONTH.

    I STRONGLY FEEL IN EACH SCHOOL , COLLEGE AWARENESS PROGRAM MUST REQUIRED IN EVERY MONTH.

    PARENTS ALSO MUST GUIDE THEIR CHILDREN SPECIALLY WHEN THEY GO OUT LIKE TRIP.

    SO THAT WE CAN REDUCE ALL TYPES OF WORST CASES. JAI HO INDIA.
