Accidents prove people don’t have heart
Written by Anurag Bhateja on June 17, 2009 – 9:29 pm -Hectic day, too many things to do and so many things to buy. I was so tired that I decided to go out of home and have a slow and happy ride around the city to get some energy back. I think this was one the worst decisions I made till date. Everything was so smooth and good that I can not even imagine this can happen in next minute.
I was driving on the road near Rose Garden Chandigarh and found red light so stopped for a while. A very nice brand new Bolero was standing on the right side and as the lights went green both me and that Bolero moved together. Suddenly out of nowhere an Indica came from the left side of the road from a small lane and hit me hard, smashing me in Bolero. This made me kind of unconscious for few seconds and that bloody guy who was driving Indica just reversed the car and flew away.
The two people who were in Bolero came out and the person who was driving asked me if I am alright and wanted to take me to hospital. I was about to get off the bike as till now I was just sitting on bike as both the cars just made me sandwich stuffing between them and I was totally out of courage to get off the bike and say anything to anyone. His friend, dragged him saying “Abe pagla gaya hai saale, police case ban jayega. Bhag yahan se” (Have you gone out of your mind. You will be dragged in police case. Run from here) and both of them just went. Leaving me alone and hurt. I was just watching them going. Somehow, after trying for a while, I managed to get off the bike for few seconds, sat on the road side and saw around if I can find anyone around to but I was alone. At the moment I was like F**K you all who say people are good in Chandigarh.
It was hard to stand up back and do something. Don’t know why I just sat on bike, wore my helmet back and drove it to Gandhok Uncle’s hospital in Sector 32. May be I was scared of the things which I may have to face in General Hospital 16 as it was an accident. Anyway, in 15 minutes I was in 32. After getting checked for any injury and if there is anything serious (I am fortunate no external injury), he gave me medicine cursing those without heart people.
Now I back home, my mom is feeling too bad and at same time thanking Almighty that I am safe. The whole body is paining and I am typing all this with one hand only and left hand is in too much pain. The doc has advised me to stay at home for two days without giving any kind of strain to my body or mind as still I am in kind of traumatic situation and 40% of my body is shaking. I am neither able to control the shaking feet of mine nor the left hand’s fingers.
I may not come online or reply to your messages or calls for two days. Please do understand and wait till I am back in action which, I know will not take too long. Just let this tiger rest a bit in hibernation.

i hope you get well soon but 1 thing i would like to say is that you cant blame the whole humanity for the deeds of one person…..i have been also in such accidents but i dont blame all the people of Chandigarh for it………yes there are some heartless people but not all are heart less……..if you would have called me i would have came to help you out no matter what i was doing…….but i guess you dont have faith in people of Chandigarh …….

Oh! This is shocking. Feeling very bad to see that people aren’t helpful as we normally hear. I feel like very lucky to get help, while something like this happens to me in Amritsar. I’ll pray, you be well soon.
Wishing you, a speedy recovery!

Reality kicks hard mate. Unfortunately our country is not civilized enough to be kind. On the way home today a guy slipped and fell from his bike. First thing someone on the road did was pick hi mobile phone that lay scattered on the road and put it in his pocket. sigh!

Too fucking sad….one person almost helped you but for his friend. I don’t whether to blame him or ur stupid system which still harasses anyone involved in accident and even those who bring them to hospitals. Just hope that we do the right thing if we come across the same situation. Get well soon buddy.

Hey Anurag!! it’s really bad and this is really a shame to Chandigarh that this kind of people are living here.. Accident is by mistake but atleast they should take care of the person who is suffering just because of their mistake.. anyways..
Take care… get well soon.
