Tribute to Paresh Karsandas Panchal

26th July 2008. 20 blasts rattled the city of Ahmedabad but not the spirit of Amdavadis. At 6:45 PM every news channel came with their breaking news!! I came home and saw the news on TV. I was a little worried and I just decided to go out. I just thought that this was the time to act when your city or the country needs you. I just thought but someone actually acted!! Someone rushed to Civil Hospital and offered any possible help to the victims, oblivious of the fact that he would be one of the victims soon. After hearing the news Paresh Panchal, an Amdavadi, Whom can any Amdavadi be proud of, rushed to Civil hospital. He wanted to help, he wanted to give back to nation. But those brainwashed, blood-sucking terrorists didn’t even leave the trauma center. That was the most pathetic act. Even at the times of war, they leave the place with red cross. Paresh, who wanted to help got badly hurt by the blast at civil hospital and lost his life.

I really salute him and his parents who had brought such a brave man to our city. Paresh, Amdavad is proud of you. May god bless his family and provide enough power to endure this tregedy. May his soul rest in peace.
