The moral of the story

I have thought of writing this content long back,but as they say,things happen when it is supposed to. I recently saw a blog on Akhil's page regarding a road accident that claimed 3 human lives :( and content of this article is no different from the blog previously mentioned.

The day was 28th July 2006,time was 8:55 am,I was hurrying through the way to reach the college on time.It was beginning of my 3rd semester and it was 3rd day of college.I was about 50 mtrs away from my college gate ,I noticed group of people gathering around at a crossing.I didn't care as I thought it might be the case of some vehicle brushing with another and thus this bunch of fun seekers were around. When I reached the college gate and was filling up the entry register a guard came to me and said, "Koi Jaypee ka ladka gira hua hai udhar,accident hua hai" .I asked him why didn't he go.He replied, "Main chala jaunga toh gate pe kaun rahega??".I cursed him at the same moment and rushed to the accident spot, a senior came along too.On reaching there,seeing me in college dress and the victim was wearing the same dress,the crowd,rather fucking bystanders,gave the way.What I saw next was the most fearful sight I ever had till that day,a sophomore,to whom I waved previous day after the classes were over for the day was lying down on the ground,with face turned into a size of disc and blood all around the body and spread on road.It took around 10 secs for me realize what I am seeing!! I knelt down to check for the pulses,there were none,the boy was dead.It was for the first time I was touching any dead body.One person from the crowd asked,"Nabz chal rahi hai??".I said, "Nahi". I just looked around to try get over the numbness and seek some help,everything seemed to move in a slow motion as shown in the movie.I felt as if I was half sunk in the road,my feet were shaking,I could hardly walk,to try stopping some vehicle to get the victim to Fortis hospital which was just a kilometer away.I tried stopping autorickshaws ,cars,tractors,rickshaws but none stopped for help.In the mean time a lady stepped in and also tried to get some help.Finally a car stopped and he agreed to take the boy to the hospital.Next task was to lift the body and place it in the car.I still curse myself for the fucking thought that had entered my head,that "my clothes will be stained by blood"..fucking mean!!
But thank God I lifted him,I held him from the shoulders and senior held him from the legs and we put him in the car.Soon our college officials reached the spot and traffic police too!! fucking punctual. Before the car left I went to get the bag of the deceased,the notebook and the lunch box(crushed) were thrown out of the bag beacuse of the impact.Seeing the tiffin brought tears in my eyes thinking of the mother who had prepared lunch for her kid,who is no more to have it.The notebook had Data structure notes from the lecture delivered previous day.
I put everything in the bag and handed it over to sir and took a long walk to the academic block.My shirt,tie and trousers all had blood stains so I went to clean them up before entering into the class.I was hoping that boy would have survived,but alas he didn't. The news spread through the college in 15 mins and thus all the lectures for the day were canceled . The family had already lost the father and with the loss of the only son,they survived with mother and a daughter...sigh.

I do not think I need to tell the moral of this sad but true story ::"Drive Safely"
