Ever seen death from a handshake distance? I literally mean ‘a
distance,’ what they say as ‘by a whisker’.
National Highway 6 (Not the Anushka Kohli wala NH10 :P) ,
four people sitting inside an ambassador. As the ambassador was trying to maneuver
a right turn, a passenger sitting on the right side back was alarming on
incoming vehicle. The driver did not react: as the car turned say 20 degrees ,
we could see the approaching flashlight……a ramming incoming vehicle.
Ever been in this kind of scenario? Ever felt this helpless?
The feeling of numbness….. the inevitable approaching….where you don’t know how
to react. The split second: did anything flashed by? A face, a moment, a
memory? Or is it just you are just overpowered by the awe of the situation. The last thing you remember: a vehicle incoming....about to hit.....and
Coming back; an incoming ambassador screeched past taking a
superb swerve on the right……. Braking heavily onto the opposite side. The
following pickup wasn’t that lucky. Rammed directly onto the car. Bang.
The end?
Ahhhh…what a nice way
to yield the benefit of the Life Insurance investments you have been making! (sic).
Just because someone wasn’t alert behind
driving wheels lives could have been lost. Just because some driver had great
reflex: perhaps lives were saved.
#Live to fight another day
#Second time had hand in hand with death.
#Tryst with
destiny
