TANGAZO LA TAHADHARI...
A couple lost their 25
year old son, Arun Gopal Ratnam, in a fire at home on June 4th. The son who had
graduated with MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison two weeks earlier
had come home for a while. He had lunch with his dad at home and decided to go
back to clean up his hostel room.
His father told him to wait, to meet his
mother, before he went back for a few days. Arun decided to take a nap while
waiting for his mom to come back home from work. Some time later their
neighbors called 911 when they saw black smoke coming out of the house.
Unfortunately, 25 years old Arun died in the three year old house.
It took
several days of investigation to find out the cause of the fire. It was
determined that the fire was caused by the laptop resting on the bed.
When the laptop was on the bed, the cooling fan in the computer did not get
the air to cool the computer and that is what caused the fire. He did not even
wake up to get out of the bed because he died of breathing in carbon
monoxide.
The reason I am sharing this with all of you is that, I understand we all have different reasons to use a laptop while in bed.
Let
us all decide and make it a practice not to do that. The risk is very BIG and real. Let us
make it a rule not to use the laptop on bed with blankets and pillows
around.
Have a nice week-end. KICHWANGUMU.
