Chennai, Mylapore ,august 1st,2016: Abandoned by the family is the biggest grief. The consequences faced due to it is really unimaginable. A woman has undergone the same situation where she was abandoned by her own son and husband died.

Savithri, at the age of forty eight has been thrown out the house by her family. Her husband was a drunkard and passed away before two years. She has become a burden for her son and family and so, her son left her on the roads. The reason behind her son disliking her is untold.

Everyday she comes to the roadside shop near to the kabaleeswar temple kolam and begs for food. On looking at her pathetic situation, some help her but some shew her off by hurting. She begs money and intakes drugs(alcohol) everyday. After she is overloaded with the drugs, she screams and laments louder and then faints on the roads.

The shop vendor who got used to the situation wakes her up and gives her the space to fall asleep. Savithri's son, even if he notices her on the road drunk, won't take care or take any step to recover his mother. He just passes on looking at her as a third person does.

"Once upon a time Savithri was a good home maker and she has a son named Thangadurai. After her husband passed away, she had to take care of her son and was a responsible woman and was keenly interested to make her son settle in life. She successfully completed her task. But due to few circumstances her son lead her to a situation where is has been mentally tortured by the son and family." said a woman who knows about her.

The way she was left on the roads is so pathetic that she has gone insane for she couldn't take the loneliness so easy. Sometimes the woman would be ill treated by the public and she looks panicked. "Her lamentations are heard everyday to hundreds of people but not her son", says the shop vendor.
