Mangaluru, Jul 28: Innumerable incidents have exemplified the humanitarian feelings gaining upper hand over the barriers of caste, creed and religion. One such example emerged in the city on Saturday in which a man named Subrahmanya, who was shivering due to fever and hunger, having turned wet in rain, was cared for by a Muslim lady. He was also admitted into a hospital by her. This gesture of the lady has come in for lavish praise.

Sambreena Banu, daughter of Sheikh Khaleel, working for a jewellery store in the city, had visited Wenlock Hospital here on Saturday. She took pity on Subrahmanya, who was shivering on account of fever outside the hospital. She ordered food for him and gave him water. On questioning him, she came to know that the youth belonged to Kaup in Udupi district. He had left home after differences arose between him and his family members. He had no money and therefore did not have any food. As he had drenched in rain, he was also suffering from fever.

Sambreena not only took care of the helpless youth but also contacted Fayaz from Madoor, an office bearer of Blood Donors and MNG Foundation and informed him about the predicament of the youth. Subrahmanya was admitted into the hospital after which his family was informed.

Sambreena said that her grandfather, parents and people at a firm here she works, used to tell her about the virtues of social service. "I had visited Wenlock Hospital for getting medicine for my leg pain. I was pained at the condition of the youth and could not convince myself to leave without taking care of him. He too is a human being like me, and this feeling made me want to help him," she said.

Fayaz Madoor said that after Subrahmanya was admitted into hospital, he spoke to him and informed his family. He appreciated Sambreena for the kindness she showered on a stranger and helping him.
