I was on my way in cab to office in the morning of February 1, when I came across an accident. In the remote roadway of Chik Thirupati, Malur road, Karnataka, two boys, both not older than 25 years, had met with a bike accident from driving rashly.

I am Pakathan speaking. I thank ALERT organisation and team ALERT for giving me opportunity to learn first aid. There was a circumstance recently where I applied what I was taught in the training programme. When having non-vegetarian curry food in the afternoon, my father choked on the food that got stuck in the airway and had difficulty breathing.
