The Inconvenient Parent



 Shocking, the despicable extent some so called "human beings" will sink to .

Once Needed Now Discarded Continued...

Pushpa too can not forget being inhumanely discarded, like an old shoe.  That awful day, a few of her belongings were tossed  in a suitcase and thrown out on to the street. Pushpa too was assaulted, battered, and ruthlessly dragged out on to the street. The door to her own home was violently slammed shut on her. Her desperate pleas fell on deaf ears. Her hot torrent of tears rained on blind eyes. "The one she trusted" (TOST)  was within an arms reach,adjacent to the front door, yet TOST simply stood in the temple room and coldly watched. No arms came forward to help Pushpa. Is this what TOST prayed for? Were these the actions that TOST secretly condoned? 


Pushpa remained outside the house for quite some time, sobbing uncontrollably. She told herself she would not leave, if it came to it, Pushpa would draw her last breath on her doorstep. Neighbors began to watch and wonder. Pushpa was still outside. Eventually, some neighbors began to gather outside.  At this point, TOST gave instructions for Pushpa to be brought in. Without any remorse, Pushpa was barbarically tossed back into the house as she was tossed out.


Those responsible for this heartless horrendous act, claim to have not known any better at that time. Yet at that time, those involved were over the age of eighteen, they could have and should have been held legally accountable for their brutal actions.


TOST had ways of making sure Pushpa kept quiet . Again, in Pushpa's mind and heart, a bad family was better than no family, so once again Pushpa remained silent.

Once Needed Now Discarded

"Nobody knows the age of the human race, but everybody agrees that it is old enough to know better."
  ~Author Unknown


“When we are young and again when we are old, we depend heavily on the affection of others. Between these stages we usually feel that we can do everything without help from others and that other people's affection is simply not important. But at this stage I think it is very important to keep deep human affection.”
-Dalai Lama

One of Millions Continued Part 9

Pushpa's well wishing relatives, who resided outside of London, were anxious about Pushpa's condition, all of a sudden, an emergency amputation took place. "The one she trusted"(TOST) had gone ahead and scheduled an amputation for Pushpa; despite the fact that Pushpa's well wishing relatives had specifically asked TOST to hold off scheduling the amputation, until Pushpa's test results confirmed an infection. Pushpa's previous test results for an infection had been negative. So why did TOST schedule surgery for an amputation, before tests results confirmed that Pushpa had an infection? Yes, Pushpa was in pain, but why was TOST in such a hurry?

By this time, Pushpa's well wishing relatives, who resided outside of London, were concerned and eager to see Pushpa. However, TOST was readily discouraging Pushpa's well wishing relatives from visiting Pushpa. TOST was telling them that it was really not necessary at this time, for them to come and visit, even though Pushpa was about to lose a part of her own body; she was having her leg cut off! Only a year before the amputation, TOST was not only convincing but also insisting that these same relatives, should come and see Pushpa one last time, making it seem as if Pushpa was at death's door. 


Strange, since at that time,the year before, well wishing relatives came and observed for themselves that Pushpa did not have anything seriously wrong with her medically. So why had TOST insisted that the well wishing relatives visit back then and why was TOST actively deterring them from visiting Pushpa now?

One of Millions Continued Part 8

In June of 2011, Pushpa was forced to have her leg amputated from above the knee. "The one she trusted" (TOST) repeatedly spoke about amputating Pushpa's leg, a full year before any doctor had given this option any serious consideration. What did TOST know that the doctor's did not?
