That was a sunday 5th oct 2008, morning.around 11 am. I was on bike (pulsar) gone for a ride as i was feeling bored siting at home. I went to my fathers dispansary just for time pass ,Finding it full of patients i decided to go for a ride in meanwhile. I moved towards carona a near by village to mine.

I then took a turn right on a road that heads towards my home.That area is known as ramtala. I was at 30km/h but the turn ahead made me change the gear, slowed down the vehicle and and i was about to put 2nd, when suddenly i could see a maruti wagon R in front of me,Ohh gosh. Nothing came to my mind than to apply breaks and  turn left.

But my bad luck was on my side, instead of moving to left, the car driver moved to his right giving me no chance to survive and there was a head on dash.(thasshhhh ) I just left the bike as it when the impact happened.I could see my self moving close to death. as i could see all dark in front . That was a big somsault jump. I was thrown in to the bushes at the side of road. I was hurt. Although i dint feel it much first.

Then there was all rush ,people coming running to see whether am dead or survived. The car owner that banged me was a nice person. He made me getup quicky from the bushes.sprikled water on me and tried to relax me. That was family going by that way. A elderly woman who i suppose is the wife of that driver was more tensed than me.What was coming to her mind was different. She kept on asking me baba tu baro aasa mu, chod lagung naa nhi tuka? (meaning are you ok?did it hurt much?).

Now was the time to settle the issue.So the next was to call my parents as the bike was all bend in front, not movable.I called up my mom first and assured her  that I am alright and nothing much is happened to me. She reached the point soon after i called. Then i had to call up my sister as my fathers mobile was not reachable. That was an tensed environment. Everyone passing by that way asking, is the bike rider alive?.

So rest of my family reached there. later police came and the conducted the further proceedings.

But the main reason behind the accident were the bushes on the turn that makes the vehicle rider difficult to spot the vehicles on the turn.Also was the mistake by the car driver moving to right rather than left!!!! I can understand that anyone can  get nervous in that situation. But it all happened. There is no a single person responsible.

It was very nice of that family that they did not say anything to me, neither they shouted at me. Becasue most of the the bike riders are always scolded even if they are not wrong.  But i was on correct side!!!!

I was only thankul to god that i survived such a hard crash. That was really an accident on fly…
