C'mon it cant happen to me......

....the 'it happens only to others' kind of an attitude towards accidents is pretty natural and I had the same kind of an attitude myself before I was rudely pushed into reality and found myself involved in one.I remember the date too 9th Sept 2002.Well not serious enough to be marked in red but serious enough to have made me understand a few hard facts of life.A cool monday morning at around 6.30am and there I found myself just barely inches away from the wheels of one our beloved MTC buses on the Kodambakkam overbridge.

I am not going into the details of it but I missed death by a whisker but my six month new bike had taken the brunt of it for the rear wheel of the bus had run over it and my heart bled watching pieces of my new bike being recovered from underneath the bus.

I've passed through that way a million times after that in my same dear bike and the same thoughts pass through my mind every other time.

1.I could have died in that accident and caused irrecoverable grief to my parents but I did'nt so why not make them happy and joyous as much as possible.

2.I would'nt have enjoyed life myself so why not stop brooding over all the petty things in life and make masti.

3.Had I had some serious injuries from the accident,would'nt have been able to lift weights(my passion) so why not make working out in the gym a more serious affair(not that I was'nt serious then).
