Escaping Accident!

Hoossshh… Jus escaped an accident. Hyderabad is a city of nerd’s, don’t mind, but seriously I jus missed a serious mishap! Da 2nd accident of my life. The first 1 I had was wen I participated in my college’s cultural festival game named, ‘Treasure Quest’. The game was simple, 15 clues, 50 Kilometres, 5000 Bucks…

I happened in around in Feb ’06. Me n one of my friend wer on her bike (Honda Dio). We set off gr8 frm the college. Our 1st Clue was some famous singer and off we headed to KK Market which was next to the place I lived in Pune for two years. Tht was pretty in time. The next clue – ‘PAGAN’, I’d never heard tht word (Something related to Dan Brown’s – Da Vinci Code). So there we wer, clueless, completely. Tried to call all my friends who happened to be reading tht book. Sunday morning, nice one to wake dem up. But didn’t help. Final resort, my roommate Ritesh’s aka Sukha, (had jus completed reading it, and even heard a lot abt the novel from him). He was jus blank wen he heard PAGAN. No wonder, thts y KT’s rule his results. Here comes the Question paper, here goes his memory! Though, finally we got help! Thanks 2 the girl company. Some guys frm our college stopped us frm goin the wrong way and told us the point. It was ‘Pentagon’ near Panchami Hotel on Satara Road. (PAGAN was some symbol with a Pentagonal shape). Though we wer late, we headed off very fast to the next one. It was a symbol showing an elephant + bag + Ganpati. Again, Clueless! My partner’s mom came to the rescue. Pat came her reply after listenin to the clue, ‘Hatti Baag Ganapati’. Tht was a Ganpati temple near Hatti Baug in Heart of Pune. Off we headed to the fourth clue, I don’t remember tht one, but was near some college. Nice, but we both didn’t knew the route. And after finally managing the resources, the roadmap was here. Zoom I went and Thud I heard. Both of us lyin on da street. (the dumb biker, who hit us, was actually much worried abt his bike tht he forgot us, forgot himself and was parking his bike at a safer place). We both managed to sit on the footpath. I was shiverin wid the painin my right leg. The bike was torn apart. Though it wasn’t mine! She was fine then, nd we headed to a hospital. Her mom joined us and thank god tht I was not havin a fracture. God, I fear them! So tht was da sad story. And ya kno, we even missed our refreshments tht wer to be served to all those who reached the final destination.

The next few days at college wer really painful. All my fren’s cursed me, coz I jus left tht guy to go away though it was his mistake. He broke the signal n was runnin at abt 60-70 kmph. Trust me, I sware! He was da culprit. So I had decided to take da revenge wen anything remotely like an accident happens to me. So a few days back, wen was crossin the busiest street of Hyd, (SP Road) I jus missed a big one. Night time, dark outside, pool of head lamps racing towards me. Thts everyday scenario, coz the roads don’t have any speed breakers for abt 5 kms straight and even corners are jus simply not at walkable distance. (I was in pune (on bikes) for 3 yrs, so plz don’t expect me to walk round da corners). So as usual, one fine evening I was there again crossin the road. I jus missed my eye on the approaching biker and there I was thrown on the roads. A mad telugu guy has jus strucked a smart gujarati guy, tht too the gujju guy is frm Bombay. How dare he??? So, ponderin on the old mishap, I stood up in no time an started yellin on tht guy like a true mumbaiite. We had a nice heated up conversation for about 10 mins and den we departed. This time too it was not my mistake. Trust me! Coz, even the roadside guys wer helping me out. The pain caused was less, but I enjoyed. Finally, I got my anger out. Now I don’t wanna hav ne more accidents. I hav already showered my aggregate anger. He he…
