    I pray to God for a speedy recovery of those injured in the auto/bus collision. Horrifying pictures and that shows the impact of the accident. It is so unfortunate that this Shetty family were travelling in an auto rickshaw to pray in a famous temple but they were not destined for that. So sad.

    Some times I think myself many times accident happens when people go to meet god in temples. Why god cannot help to avoid such tragedies?
