Victim
kid finds solace in sketching
Srinagar, October 13
On their little faces is a
bewildered resilience, a stoical acceptance that belies their age. But
it is a veneer that crumbles suddenly when the painkillers can no longer
hold off the searing pain from broken bones. And they cry, heart-rendingly,
and no one can do anything about it. They are the child victims of
Saturday’s quake, lying on the beds at the Government Hospital for
Bone and Joint in Srinagar.
