A proven point today i am not as callous as my near and dear do think of me!I am too emotional and have a tender heart...
It was a mundane monday and i was waiting for bus in by-pass of national highway to come to bangalore from kolar. Thats really a tradition where my dad drops me to the bus and he shall wait till i get the bus. Yes too much of pampered kid I am. Due to Elections which was conducted the previous day, buses were over crowded and I was waiting for a bus which would have some seats to sit.
At around 730 am ,there came a milk tanker which wanted to take the service road. He slowed down and was about to turn to service road. A two wheeler from no where came into picture who also took the same service road. In less than a second or 2 , I could hear the sound of bike skidding obliquely which was too harsh and scary to hear, i just saw 2 ppl on bike fall which was not really scary but the scariest part was milk tanker running over them !! Oh @#$%!! I just closed my eyes so tight and held my dad's shoulder so tight that i just wanted not to see the tyres running on those guys heads. @#$% again.. But actually it did. I just broke down !! Speechless!! The entire incident happened right in front of me and I was not even 10 meters away! My initial suspect was both the guys would have lost their lives .. My dad consoled me so much and told me to get back home and take rest .. I was so afraid, nervous,empathetic, sympathetic !! Its the first time ever someone taking their last breath in front of me.. and that too in a terrible way. I just wanted to get away from the place.. Yes i was scared.. Lot of ppl surrounded the two immobilized bodies lying on the road..I had no guts to see that horrifying scene. As i was back to senses, I immediately called Ambulance . Thankfully someone had called before me !! Luckily 1 guy has survived, not sure abt his condition though now.Hope he recovers soon. God bless him. And that other guy RIP :(
This incident shook me so much today, that i couldnt even see a dead dog on the highway.. There is a stark contrast between hearing about an accident, witnessing an accident and actually be a part of accident.Being less fortunate as of today, experienced all three..Accidents are so scary and fearsome..If there is any word which means "Accidento-phobia" , i would be a victim of it..Yes life is so precious. A second or two of ignorance could cost one's life !! Unless you are an atheist , there is no harm in praying before u actually hit roads.. It works to a major extent i feel..
After a couple of hours when i passed by the same place, everything was back to normal except for a pair of chappals which were lying on the place of accident !! DOT
