Well – I was just feeling that maybe it’s not worth informing people — better just tell them what they want to hear, however wrong, but then I got this note, which made me feel that maybe the trashing you get for taking on controversial issues is sometimes worth it…

Hi Lila,

I have been reading articles and analysis given by you on VTech. Its very detailed.

Well, about myself, I am Minal Panchal’s elder sister. She was one of 32 in the VTech incident. It gets difficult to cope with such a loss. I am very disappointed with the college admin, with police, with the governer kaine, with the panel report and mainly president steger. I dont know what to do or what can be done about the sheer injustice.

I dont even know whom to talk to or write to. I am writing to you since you are very just and I felt you may understand what I am writing.

Something about Minal, She was 26 yr old. She came here to study architechture. And Prof Libruscue was her fav. prof. She was in his class – 204 when the incident took place. And iroicaly, she was one of the last victims. She was the only person apart from prof killed in that room. All this makes me so angry and sad. Only if the response was even 2 min faster, she wouldve been alive. This is what a value of a minute is for me with respect to this case.

One gets used to the absence and move on with life but the void is still there and shows up at most unlikely time leaves to shaken.

Instinct has asked me to write to you. I dont know the reason.

Thanks for listening at the least,
KS
