Is it really worth? - based on true stories!

Are you diabetic? passionate about visiting the so called sacred places - Kasi, Badrinath , Kedharnath etc??

If the answer is YES - This is an article specially for you....

Instance #1: My Dad believed that we should visit Kasi, Gaya etc atleast once in our lifetime. Unfortunately he could visit these places only after 60.
But by the time he planned for the travel, he was a victim of diabetes for more than 15 years. He took bath in the holy Ganges, walked in sand towards the temple only to see
traces of blood in his footsteps. The sand had already done its damage in his wet legs. Since he was a known diabetic victim, he could not feel the pain of sand penetrating
the skin which resulted in complete shutdown of walking for the rest of his life!

Instance #2: My Uncle who is also a known diabetic victim, visited Badrinath & Kedharnath (which will be opened only for 6 months in a year) during his early 60's. The
reduced oxygen levels at these places coupled with the cold waves affected his ENT system so badly that he has lost his sense of smelling! Infact even after six months,
he is suffering from chest congestion which keeps him in continuous treatment for one good reason.. he is a diabetic

Instance #3: Forget about the above where we saw people over 60+.. One of my cousin, who is exactly 35 now and is also a known diabetic victim, is suffering from cronic heart ailments.
Recently, he survived a massive attack and is currently under 100% medication. All these started beacause he wanted to visit these places before 60's.. but the one thing which he
failed to take into consideration is that he is a diabetic victim. When i met him in the hospital he said... "I made a mistake by going there..." You will not be sure whether you
will come out safely from those mountains since the pilgrims face landslides frequently.. he also witnessed a jeep (running front of their vehicle) being pushed down so many feets
due to a landslide and finally said "Its not that worthy"....

If you know a diabetic victim who is willing to travel... please share this with them. We have so many temples in and around our residence which gets unnoticed.. Ask them to
visit them and spend time... why take risk and suffer... tell them its not Worth!
