28 feb 2006 - A Black Tuesday which changed all : Part 1

At that time me and nishit were under huge pressure of finishing our journals!On top priority was the physics journal!As usual it was decided that i would go to nishit's home and there we wud try to complete the journal as much we can and will show mam with a reason or two!so i did go to nishit's home at around 5.30pm! never ever imagined in my dreams that what was going to follow would screw change and distort my life forever!


After 2 hrs of discussion we came to conclusion that i will go to pandit's home and collect his journal and then go home and wud try to finish as much as i can!i said ok!i had chat with my mom saying that i will come home in 15-20 mins!and when i was leaving nishit's home i did say him yar pichle bar jab hum pandit ke ghar gaye the tab hum badme sewlani se milne orange city hospital square gaye the and we were caught by police toh agar mai jaunga toh kuch bekar toh nahi hoga!he said abe kya tu bhi!chod na!uske ghar ja journal pick ker and ghar ja!jyada mat soch!i said ok!i went to pandit's home!he came down!as usual we had some panchat chat abt cricket and xams and submissions!and i started my activa i said bye and i started driving!the phone ringed and i ignored it as it was of mom!and as i knew i wud be home in 10 mins i did not answer!


i was driving my activa around 40 km/hr and i had just passed the durga mandir!and i was a bit tense abt the journal but very happy that now i had pandit's journal just had to copy!and then i wud sit and do the maths notes for our C2D plan that we were going to implement just like chetan bhagat and his friends ie his charcters in the book five point someone had applied!and i was very happy!and suddenly i saw a guy speeding towards me from the wrong side on pulsar who perhaps had just eaten pan from the tapri's and was going to cross the road from wronside!oh!myshit!i realised that i was in a deep deep deep trouble and i cud loose my life and i cud die in 2 mins time as we were head on for a collision!my mind started to function how i can save the life of that pulsar guy and at the same time save my life!i used the mirror of my activa and i saw no vehicle behind on my rt side!on my left side was footpath!so the idea that struck me that reaction time was that if i can jump on my right side i will only get bruises but due my weight as i wud jump my activa wud go on the left side as torque would be produced and in the middle space the pulsar guy cud pass!during the jump i realised that i had not thrown my glasses away as when i jumped there was a possibility that these glasses can go into my body and eyes especially and can harm me!in that second i completely lost my balance as i cud not throw glasses on time and bang!bang bang bang!i was down on the floor!i had thrown my watch and glasses at the time of jump but i had lost balance and i fell on my face!it was too much painfull!for 2-3 mins it was a blackout infornt of my eyes!i was down!i had started crying!but after 2 mins to chk the casulaties i tried to stand!and in one go i was able to stand up!wow!that made me happy!but hey!wait!i cud not breathe!i was unable to breathe for first2-3 secs!i just saw my face in one of the mirrors of the scooters there!shit!oh my shit!i had completely broken my face!my mouth was bleeding!my face was bleeding!and everywere were  blood strains!

then somehow i manged to go on other side of the road and i slept near the consturction as i cud get help of the pipes!i took out my mobile phone!now the crowd had gathered!somebody then came up with my activa and my bag!i tried to signal to crowd that take my mobile phone!they took it!majority of them were saying dhande ke pass leke chalo!i said shit!i do not want to go to his place; by godz grace i was consius!maine puri takat lagayi and i scremed ghar ko phone karo!ghar ko phone karo!dr rajan ke yahan aao bolo!dr rajan ke yahan ao bolo!they got it in first go!i was very happy!i just remembered what my dad had said to me!kabhi bhi tere sath kuch bhi ho bas ghabrana mat!be calm and handle it!i was just following his advice!one guy came he said will u be able to show me the way to dr rajan's hospital i said yes!i sat doubleseat!and we started the journey!i was telling myself cmn fight do not doze cmn u got to fight!u do not ve to go in unconsius state!hurray!we reached dr rajan's hospital!i checked in!aunty new me and so uncle!and we were in the operation thearte straightway for damge assesment!here end part 1!stay tuned for complete story!
