Our dear friend Rajesh Keshav needs your prayers now. He collapsed at the end of the programme held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Sunday night. Rajesh was brought to Lakeshore Hospital in Kochi within 15-20 minutes. Doctors said that he suffered cardiac arrest as soon as he fell. Then he underwent angioplasty. Since then, he is on ventilator and has not responded (except for occasional small movements) and doctors have expressed suspicion that the condition has also affected his brain in a small way. We realize that all that is needed for him to return to life is the prayers of his loved ones. He cannot lie on the ventilator like this. If we all come together, he will wake up. He will fill the stage like before... There should be strong prayers and love for our friend. I can't say anything more now... He will return to life. He needs to come back…Please come back my dearest Buddy.
