The newly married Doctor couple will
never ever forget the Chennai floods. The couple K.Sushma Reddy and
K.Sathyanarayana Reddy must the first flood hit vitims as they were
hitch hiking on highway.
Sushma was
planning to take her PG Medical exam at Dhanalakshmi College of
Engineering and she was planning to return with another flight to
Hyderabad on same evening. But things got worse as skies opened up. The
distance between the airport and exam spot was just 21 Kilometers.
But
the incessant downpour has forced them to stay indoors without basic
amenities. However with help of hitch-hiking and rescue team they
reached home safely. Sushma Reddy who reached Hyderabad said, "We came
to Chennai and we registered at a hotel in Pallavaram. After the exams
we realized that all domestic flights were cancelled and we were
marooned.
The whole college was flooded
and even the invigilators were surprised. We hitch hiked a SUV and it
took 7 hours to reach our hotel. The next day was even worse with no
electricity or no phone connectivity. We feel lucky to stay alive."
