My Accident !!!

Well I am typing this blog with one hand since my hand is fractured after the accident on November 3rd. Well to share the first hand experience, I left office in hurry since I had cricket matches coming up the next 2 days and my collegeaus wanted to party. When I left the eastern express on to the road towards Powai , it was dark and road was with medium traffic. I was as usual on speed of 60kmph but suddenly I saw an auto stop in front of me and I had no time to react. I crashed into the back of auto. That auto did not have tail light or brake light. I fell down , I left the bike as I did not want to be dragged with it. My head crashed with auto, and then I rolled at least 3-4 times. Thanks to my helmet my head was intact. I got up and tried to catch the auto driver but collapsed again. By that time auto had escaped. One couple on bike diverted the traffic behind me and another person took me to the side o the road. I had no other major injuries, but when I looked at my left hand , I knew I was I trouble. I could see the wrist bone dislocated. Mr. Vinod took me to a near by hospital till my friends, Krishna , Mehul & Shiva had come. I was admitted to a clinic in Ghatkhoper for 2 days. Doctors operated on my hand and have put 2 wires inside my hand to make it better.

Informing my parents was a big task .Tried to tell them after the operation that I was better but couldn’t stop mom from coming to Mumbai. After a week I am in Kolhapur to take rest. Will be joining office in a week’s time from now and will have to travel by bus or train and not by bike.

Accidents happen, but then cause of me , my family & friends were worried and tensed for me. This is my way of telling everyone, who was there in hospital, my friends who visited me, my family who are really taking great care of me, my friends who called or messaged me and also those who did not call, THANK YOU. I will be fine by December first week mainly due to your wishes.

Everyone after that day was telling not to drive bike from now on and travel by bus or train. But I really enjoy riding bike and if something were to happen to me , it can happen anytime, while walking or traveling in bus or train . So do I just quit something because some idiot auto driver chooses to stop in middle of a highway. NO is the answer. I will be extra cautious next time riding a bike but will never quit riding .

So till then I ride again ..Will enjoy the holidays.
