Framed
This is Guna Maya Bohara. She is 97 years old.
When the floods hit her village, she was swept away by the force of water, but got stuck in a deep sludge nearby. She lay there glued in the mud for 8-9 hours, battling for survival.
When the rescuers saw some movement under a debris, they got into action, only to find a frail old lady trying to move her head to catch their attention. It took another 2 hours to pull her out to safety.
With ambulance unable to reach the location, she was picked up and put in a tractor to reach the hospital.
She is safe and doing well.
How do you explain this?
Perhaps Guna Maya’s will to live trumped nature’s fury. She fought the floods with quiet defiance of a woman who had outlived decades of climate disruptions and wasn’t going to let a raging river write her final chapter.
Hope has no age and no expiry.
