India is estimated to have almost one million people diagnosed with incurable diseases every year. However, when children as young as a year old contract diseases that either have no known cure or their condition is deteriorated to such an extent that no medication seem to work, the possibility of a life ending before it barely begun seems more evident. In such situations where parents lose hope and spirit, children come out to be the bravest of them all. Although they know that they are nearing an end, they chose hope over stress and are determined to make their last few moments the most memorable ones. Children under palliative care, deal with pain almost every single day but strive through it all. Although, death is perpetually knocking at their door, they want to spend the rest of the day with a smile on their faces.
CID is the longest running Indian show on television and the characters are very popular amongst kids. When their favourite ACP Pradyuman comes to visit them in the hospital, the children sure do find a reason to smile and make it through the day. The show is about fighting through all odds and conquering the truth, children do get a lot of inspiration and the motivation to lead everyday with a fighting spirit.
Watch Shivaji Satam laud the spirits of these young bravehearts as he visits them in the Palliative care unit of Sion Hospital, in Ashechi Kirane, this Friday, 14th November 2014 at 7.30 pm and 11.30 pm, exclusively on IBN-Lokmat.
