accidental death . false accusation

sandhya sawant, conservation architect and friend died yesterday, much to the shock of everyone who knew her. i knew her through the udri connections and also because of all the work she was doing in the city. sonal worked with her on the capitol project. she was around 40- years old, recently married and pregnant. she died of a so-called cardiac arrest on the operating table when she had gone for a routine procedure. the real story, we hear, has to do with an overdose of anesthesia. very sad. we still cant believe it. sudhir and sheetal who were in college yesterday when they heard had been in her office the previous night until 10 working on the jaisalmer fort project. both were in tears in front of the office.

the school was in high drama mode today as well when a students camera was stolen. his mother called in the cops and they took one poor child away to the police station for interrogations. they must have put the fear of god in him, as they even went and checked his apartment. the boy lives alone in juhu gulli and i am sure was completely distraught with all this tension. naturally the camera was not found on him. i wonder what happens now to the relationship between the two boys. hoping for peace and forgiveness.
