The grim reality for children with HIV

By Swapna Mitter · On September 7, 2015


An absolute helpless and scary scenario awaited these innocent lives. The statistics were scary, the reality harsher. Two decades later, I’m still haunted by this story… wonder if things are any different now?

“About 1,000 HIV-positive mothers in Mumbai give birth to children every year and the infection is transmitted to about 35 to 40 per cent of these children.  Which means, 350 to 400 such children are being born every year in this city alone.”

                                                                                                                                                               ………….

That’s Classic

"... and at once it struck me what quality went to form a Man of Achievement, especially in Literature, and which Shakespeare possessed so enormously — I mean Negative Capability, that is, when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason."

John Keats
