.. On buses and phones

3.48 min. And I looked at the blinking phone over again. 3.48 min of a nervous conversation, well I was nervous, and that is all.

And that is all. Hit by the proverbial bus, scratched all over, lying in my bed for 4 continuous days and yet the 3 minutes 48 seconds is what pains me the most & the fact that I have to type using one hand. In addition to that, I could not muster words I would have had I been talking to her in person. Even texting pains ..

Accidents hurt, but the formal conversations, although very inspiring, pain much more than that. I have told the incident so many times over, it is etched in my memory for ever. I fell from a bus, yes a BMTC bus, face down, yeah – it was running, close to 30 ks/hour. No- I am not crazy. Not yet. Yes, I went to a doctor. Yes, he gave medicine and applied ointment. Yes, I am taking the medicine. Yes, I will take care in future. How’s life with you?

Wherever I put my hand, some betadine scratches my skin over somewhere. When the bandage sticking to my hair is removed, it hurts, it hurts real bad. I cannot go out on a day that is ideal to go out. My days are mostly spent lying down half naked watching whatever is showing on the television. I feel numbed. Yes, it hurts and I understand its my mistake !

Although, I am overwhelmed by the care and compassion of people around me, thank you all for that. And those, who have not called till now, ring me up – I won’t bore you for sure. Its an interesting story indeed.

On a serious note, why care .. Shit happens, and I will deal with it ! But, maybe the image will stay engraved in my mind forever ..

P.S It really was a serious mishap, though my frivolous writing contradicts that ..
