The day that wasn`t.......

In more ways or so, it started out to be like just another weekend for me where i wud get up late at around 10, take a bath at around 1 n same old stuffs.But it was special day for some other reasons also.But never did i ever imagine that the turn of events would be something like what happened.

I was at 1st block for a brief period of time where i was doing what i usually do....waiting which usually leads to nothing.I had my usual plate of chats n left for home at around 5pm. riding along the way took me to the signal at 1st block where i managed my way all to the front row.I switched off my ignition n was just waiting for the signal to turn green.IN the meantime vehicles were zooming past in front of me as usual.The signal to my left turned red n allowed another batch of vehicles in front of me to go forward when their signal turned green.Just as the vehicles were beginning to move an auto tried to jump the signal whiz had just turned red at a speed of around at least 50k n came crashing on a bike which was right in front of me.All of this happened just around 5 feet way from me.The impact was such that the auto flipped on its side after hitting the vehicle.The rider of the bike fell just in front of and as he fell so did his cell phone n few other stuffs.I just helped him out of there when another person handed him over his cell phone saying that some guy was trying to steal his phone also.I thought for a while .....what a shame, ppl don show the concern even in d time of accident. after around 10 minutes of commotion things slowly turned back to normal.
BUT, what was kind of intriguing was that i was in such a situation before also....it was like deja-vu all over again , the only difference was that the last time i was victim in an accident and only this time i was a spectator n also the impact this was much much higher than what happened to me before.It was around 8 years back that a similar incident had happened to me which involved me and my sister as the unfortunate victims of an accident.Everything that happened was similar other than the speed of of the vehicles.
After the incident today i turned back one last time for the work that i has actually come there to do and this time it was a success....... :-)

Then i had gone to majestic hopefully to see off a friend.But what i found there was an old friend that i had met almost a year ago.Some place to catch up with friends that is.......
This turned out to be unsuccessful tho n i turned back home in disappointment.While returning on the way near Ram mandir, a few cops got along the way asking for my DL n documents, i had my DL but unfortunately did not have my documents of the vehicle.They were not the usual traffic policemen but civil policemen who were on duty following threats of a terror Attack in the city.He refused to let me go as i did not have the relevant documents which made me make calls to friends around so that they could at least get the documents for me and after around close to 20 mins of wait he finally let me go without fining me also :) .......I considered myself to be very lucky and just left for home.....
phew some day it turned out to be today.....
