Its getting colder every minute...november nights in delhi is the starting phase of lovely winters.Its really amazing,at age of 73, how he still remembers all the phone numbers.The clock struck 11:00 pm and his fingers moves very quickly on the phone dial.Somebody picks up the phone on the other end.
"Hello Dr. Sen here.."
"O Hellloooo Dr. Sen...How are you ? "
"I....I need an ambulance...my wife fell in the bathroom and i think she broke her leg.."
"Oh....but.....but we have only two ambulances and both are out....I am really SORRY Dr. Sen"

This is the fourth hospital that refused to send the ambulance.Being a doctor no-one can ask Dr. Sen the charges of ambulance and he left practise 3 years back,so nor can he recommend any patient to any of them.Dr. Sen knew that he has to pay the price of being a doctor.So does her wife..who is just sitting motionlessly in the chair without uttering a single word.
