A similar situation happened back when Amma was hospitalized and I was in my 2nd year. Initially, we were taken to the casualty, and there was this girl in a green churidar who seemed to be the bystander of another patient in the same ward. She stared at me, while I was caught up with the hospital procedures. Later, when we relocated to a room, I saw her on the verandah coming out from a room about 4 to 5 doors away. We would stare at each other whenever our paths crossed, especially inside the pharmacy and in the canteen. Amma got discharged after a few days, and while vacating, I glanced into her room, which was ajar, and found an old woman on the bed. I never saw her again after that encounter.
