A Meeting with death.. !!

Feb 21 2006, Wednesday.. The day I don't think I will ever forget in my life.. !
I had taken leave for 2 days from office, to attend my friend's sisters marriage...It was 175 Km away from Bangalore and he had asked me to come early.
As usual I got up late, ran to saloon, to have a cut and by the time I was ready it was 12.

I knew I was in trouble with aru.. The reason I delayed my start was also 'cos, its difficult to get out of Bangalore after 9 am .

I was already late and then ending having a fight with dad.. With a angry mood I left my house, got in the car and was on my way.

It took me about 1 hr to reach the toll booth i.e after Nellamagala. I reached there by 1:45pm. After that I don't know what got into me.. I was driving like crazy.. Reached Tumkur by 2pm. which is about 40 Km.

Next 30 min I was stuck in the city traffic and again once I was out of Tumkur, I was racing towards Tiptur in no time. Took me about 45 Min to reach Tiptur.

Tiptur, brought back memories of those days when I was doing my engineering.., like the song purani jeans aur guitar. !!

Driving slowly, crossed the college. was on the country side again. Now I was going crazy after driving for a while.. think that it was such a bore to drive when compared to riding.

I was speeding at about 120Km/hr in my Zen when suddenly 2 villagers crossed the road on a TVS champ with out looking, either side of the road. With great difficulty i controlled the car and then bough it to a stop still state. I was so furious that I got out of the car and shouted at top of my voice.. they apologized to me and all I could do was get into the car and drive again.. !!!

Now i was about 10 Km away from my destination.. !! I wanne to reach there as quickly as possible that I was speeding again.. Just when I was outside arasekere, I had to take a right turn, (near the daba and just before the lake), I braked and took the right but when I was turning the steering to get the car back on the road I just couldn't.. I didn't know what to do.. I was turning and all I could see was the signal pole next thing i know.. .. bang.. and 4 turns inside the car.. and my car engine started to cry loudly.. car sleeping on the road.. It all happened in couple of seconds.. I was cursing the car for not switching itself off after having such a crash..

I switched off the engine and looked around to see if i could get out of the car. The only place
i could get out was from the window of the left door, which was totally shattered..
I climbed out of the window, I would see people running towards me to check if I was hurt..
Wow boy, thats when I saw my car.. It was totally shattered... I just couldn't help wondering, how I could have survived.. !!! ??

I guess the only two things saved me.. 1. I was wearing my seat belt and the other I guess blessing from my parents..!!!

As per my car, I have left it in the body shop waiting for insurance.. and me.. back in office working.. ( of course after visiting temple on Saturday with parents)

Will post the snap of my car soon.. ;-)
