Utter Chaos
With Bangalore traffic growing leaps and bounds day by day,Driving on the busiest roads is absolutely a night mare.It is horrible even to imagine how the traffic will be down the line five years in Bangalore.With RTO daily giving Hundred's of licenses and the number is growing continuously by each year,how hard you follow the traffic rules and how much careful you are when driving ,still there is 100 %chance for you to taste the bloody term called "Accident"
To my bad luck,I ought to lead life in one of the those busiest roads.It will take not less than 20 minutes from eejipura signal to kormangala 4Th block during peak periods,if you are struck at every traffic signal.The unknown fact is the same distance you can cover with less than 15 minutes by walk.please don't ask me about the number of accidents that take place on this road.It became routine in my life to go to the victim in helping to lift his vehicle and asking him/her "are you OK??"
Today I faced the same bitterness and this one is reeling in my mind continuously.A young girl is heading towards office on her scooty pep. In India Generally the pedestrians don't follow traffic rules,they cross roads indiscriminately when ever there is slight gap between zooming vehicles(I am no exception for this).The girl is zooming her vehicle as the signal was just cleared and she was completely out of sight of her right side view as a big vehicle was running along with her on her right. A man who was on the right side of the big vehicle is trying to cross the road,he was out sight of what was on the left side of the big vehicle.He thought that there was enough time for him to clear big vehicle and he did it abruptly, giving less time for the scooty girl to look this man.Though she applied sudden brakes to save the man but the sand which was scattered on to the road from a sand pile meant for using elaboration of road by BDA, made her vehicle to Scud for few meters and she did a somersault.Blood was oozing from her hands and legs as few others along with me gathered there to help her.She was cool and clam as I can see only her eyes because of her helmet. "where are you seeing man??" was question posed to pedestrian by her.Though her voice sounded how much pain she was feeling but she maintained the same serene.She wiped away the dust from her clothes and touched her scars to cosy them and zoomed again to catch up with the world.
Desperately praying to god,not to make part of these incidents anymore.
