When a big tree falls...

"When a big tree falls earth is bound to shake"

Its an age old adage that became quite infamous in India after reports that Rajiv Gandhi used it to justify the riots against Sikhs after Indira Gandhi's assasination.

But today as I see it, the adage is proving to be true, although in a very contrasting way to what made it infamous, adding to the grief of the people of Andhra.

Since initial reports of YSR having gone missing and then declared dead, there have been reports of shock deaths of dozens of people, all ardent fans of YSR as is being reported, all over the state.

Many were reported to have died of shock whereas some committed suicide, being unable to bear the loss of their beloved leader.

I wish this form of expression of love towards YSR shall cease because it adds to the misfortune of a state that is already in mourning at the death of a People's Leader.
