Accident ...

I know i know, I've been away for some time now. The lack of update is due to the current development in my life. Past 2 weeks have been nothing more then heartache and pain. It's been one the longest 2 weeks of my life! A lot of things have happened.

My parents got involved in an accident 2 weeks back and was admitted in the hospital. I was totally shaken to the core. When my dad called me from the accident site, I just couldn't believe what I was hearing. All this while, accidents were something which happened to someone else, so I never bothered to think about it n now it happened to my own family member. It was a shock for me. When I met my parents in the hospital, I couldn't believe what I was looking at. I've never seen my dad in that condition n my mum was even worse. My heart really ached for them at that moment. Since then, I've been the caretaker of my parents for the past 2 weeks. I think, in the past 2 weeks, I've spoken to my parents more then I've ever spoken to them the whole of last year. That's how close I was with my parents. Now all that have changed. Maybe I've taken life a bit too lightly. N god thought I needed a good jolt to wake me up n let me know that life is very fragile and you need to appreciate every passing moment of it. I've woken up, I'm back to normal now... Every now n then u need a good shake up in ur life to make u realize the most obvious things in life. The good news is, my parents r ok now. My mum is on crutches now, till she heals. Doctor gave her about 3 months recovery period, upon which she might need another operation on her leg to fix it.

A day after my parents accident, I got involved in accident. Probably, I had 101 things running in my mind at that time. I don't know. But I clearly remember the whole incident, the cars in front me put emergency brake to avoid a moron who probably cut into the lane without any indicator. Tried to brake, but my car just dragged n whacked the machan infront of me who in turn whacked the lady in front. Rite at the moment, I was not shocked, I was not worried, I was just calm which surprised me when I think about it now. Tried to settle with the machan about repairing his car, he talked a lot then I said fine, lets make a police report. So then, I got a summon n so did he :D

N 2 days back, I reversed my dad's car into a small concrete structure damaging the bumper. That goin to cost me another couple a hundred to get it repaired.

I've not gone out for leisure, sport, movie or anything along those line. It's been more then 2 weeks I've met any of my machans. Been with my parents most of the time. It's amazing how things like this brings u into reality of life.

Ahhh, what an exciting month. What more awaits me?? Bring it on ...
