My dears,

I share a small portion of my experiences in Qatar.

It was in 1982,  Bhagawan Kunju, an Indian fisherman from Dubai lost his way and reached Qatari coast. For fever, he was admitted in hospital, but died after 10 days. His wife called from India to send his dead body to see his face for the last time, but could not send him to India due to some technical problems. After keeping the body for more than one month in the mortuary, I was assigned for his burial.

The burial ground was in Dukhan, 100 kilometers away from Doha. I followed the morgue all the distance with Mr. Shemsher Singh, my colleague in Indian Embassy.

Passing by the dry deserts and many sand dunes, we reached eventually in a valley, the non Muslim buriel ground in Dukhan. Very few graves were there, one among them for a Dutch military colonel worked and died in Qatar 100 years back. A large epitaph is there on his grave:

"The pomp of heraldry, the boast of power, await alike the inevitable hour
the paths of glory, leads but to the grave".

As I don't know Hindu rituals, I and Singh tried to collect some desert flowers to spread on his grave.  A human being, born and brought up in India, shared a lot of kisses with his father and mother, lead a pleasant life with his wife and kids, now being buried in a desert land, unattended by his kith and kin. This is human life.

We prayed for his eternal piece. The time was dusk, the  darkness covers the desert, I, Mr. Singh and the morgue driver left the hill side silently.
