What a senseless way of loosing precious life. When 22 year old Saurav Sabharwal working with Nokia Siemens Networking undertook a dare during lunch break for eating as many pastries as he can in a limited time little did he knew it would be his last binge. A harmless eating competition turned deadly when after eating many pastries too fast Saurav started feeling upset. He went to the restroom. When he did not return for a long time his friends found him unconscious there.

Immediately he was rushed to the hospital but even after immediate medical help they were unable to revive him. As per the Doctor’s verdict Saurav had eaten too many pastries that they blocked his wind pipe and he was unable to breathe. In fact when they tried to put him on resuscitation machine there was food coming out of the wind pipe. There was no way that air could have entered the lungs. No one was able to tell how many pastries Saurav had eaten.

The MNC where Saurav had joined only in June is naturally not saying anything in this case. The family is obviously distraught and blaming the MNC for carelessness.

It was just a stupid eating competition which made a bright young man loose his life. But there is no point in blaming the company as it is not possible for the management to keep an eye on each and every activity of their employees.

The high spirits of new financially independent generation is responsible for this tragedy. The immaturity of gen-next is still evident from these incidents, the high speed motorbike stunts, the car racing on highways, they are still trying to balance the two worlds, the carefree teenage and the mature young age.
