    May the souls of Dhanraj, Praveen and Tilak rest in eternal peace and give comfort to the deceased families and friends. This is not the right time for swimming due to uncertain weather. But it was God's will but feel sorry that young boys lost their precious life.

    Louis Kuwait at times parents are not aware what the children are doing it is not possible to keep watch on the kids all the time.Of course teach them good values,how dangerous to one to swim in the rainy season when water is more and heavy current.Water is such a thing it attracts not only the childern even the grown ups.Indeed it is very sad May their soul rest in peace,

    Every day we hear about such incidents still how parents allow children to go for swimming when there is heavy current in most of the rivers because of rains? No one was there near bye to save there life? It's so heartening to loose these young ones. May their souls rest in peace.

    WHAT A LOSS FOR THE PARENTS & LOVED ONES.
    RAISING CHILDREN FOR 14 YEARS & LOOSING THEM JUST LIKE THAT IS UNIMAGINABLE.
    SEE THE INNOCENCE & BRIGHTNESS IN THEIR FACES.
    MY CONDOLENCES AND PRAYERS FOR THE FAMILIES OF THESE LOST ANGELS.
    WATER IS NOT AN EASY SITUATION TO NEGOTIATE.
    PARENTS MUST KEEP ADVISING CHILDREN ABOUT THE DAY TO DAY PERILS OF EVERYDAY.
    ALL SAID & DONE NO ONE CAN STAND IN FRONT OF FATE.
    LIKE ALWAYS GOD PICKS THE CHOICEST FLOWERS FOR HIS ETERNAL GARDEN.
