Sad!
I just happened to visit this blog : http://www.adityamohan.com/. The father of the child is a contributor to the Corporate blog of Infosys. The baby, 4.5 months old, lost its life in a Jet Airways flight from Toronto to Delhi. I cannot think of what the parents will be going through. Is there a way legally, through consumer court or something, to force Jet Airways answer his questions and actually identify the reason behind this mishap? I don’t know if this incident was covered well in the media.
During these international flights, especially the India-US ones, my heart really goes out for the infants, their parents and the aged people who go through the ordeal. More terrible would be to see mothers travelling alone with infants, or worse, with an infant and another kid. In my opinion, if a husband cannot accompany his wife and kids in an international travel, he should have either not gone abroad or not married.
If the above incident affected you, you can sign the online petition here. I’m not sure how it will help though.

I love this line: “if a husband cannot accompany his wife and kids in an international travel, he should have either not gone abroad or not married.”
Keep them coming.
