Newspaper reading has been my second nature of being alive, after breathing. During this month of December 2023, I have been reading in newspapers about the death of people who were young, too young to die. School-going children, college-going boys, young adults pursuing a profession. I am not thinking of those who died in accidents on roads or those who drowned in rivers, seas or pools. I am thinking of those who die these days rather prematurely due to, what doctors call, natural death — heart attack.
