Residents of Mantri Synergy cannot believe it happened to Geetha Viswanathan. She herself is struck by the unlikelihood of it.
Though 71, Geetha is known for running her life with uncommon elan. By her own admission, she takes pride in being “very independent” where she chooses to punctuate “very” by four repetitions of the word.
An entrepreneur running a fashion-technology institute and a former president at her community’s association, Mantri Synergy Owners’ Association, she reveals that “going through this experience was not easy for me.” Besides, it has turned out to be an eye-opener.
Without any health issues, Geetha had not thought through possible medical emergencies, and kept handy options on the ready. That morning, just before heading out of the rest-room, she tried to clear a “black insect off a clean bathroom floor”.
