Road Safety : Your life can change from a silly mistake.

The events are from my real life experience this week. It affected me so much that I'm writing about it.

My aim is to spread awareness among people about some safety measures or you can call it being attentive and being aware of your surroundings at all times.

I was boarding a bus from Delhi to Gurgaon, as you all know the low floor buses in India, I sat at very rear near window. I bought my ticket, plugged in my headphones suddenly the bus stopped and people started shouting, I looked out of the window there was a man under the bus, his legs were trapped in the rear wheels, low floor has two rear at each end. The driver hit reverse so that the guy can be retrieved I saw the man pulled his leg out and was shocked to see one feet was severely crushed and damaged. I've never seen anything like that. Luckily a PCR vehicle was nearby and cops too. They immediately took him to the hospital in that vehicle. 
Now that person didn't know that this is how his day is going to end up, he would have never imagined that he would lose his foot, the point is, a simple mistake to catch a running bus resulted in having to live a life without his foot.

I saw the ugly face of machines vs man, we created machines but we've to be careful around them. A machine won't know if you're hurt. A bus is a big transportation vehicle and driver does not have eyes in every corner, it's up to us to be careful around it. Whether you're on foot or bike or car, just don't fool around a bus or truck. 

Take care

Follow Traffic Rules.

I never thought I would be writing a blog on this, but everyday I see a lot of people not doing it, so I am trying at least if I can make one person to follow traffic rules via this post, I would be more than happy.
I work at a location not far from home, I drive for 15-20 minutes (depending upon traffic). I use the National Highway no. 8 (Delhi-Jaipur Highway) most of you would know about it, in fact there's a movie NH10 based on this highway. It is very spectacular and one of the most successful highways of India.
The problem is manly people ignoring small things that lead to drastic results, Many times it happens that people change lanes without any indicator, the break zone is not enough, people driving cars with only one headlight (this is extremely dangerous), they don't know the difference and use of high beam and low beam, hazard lights are used for fun and much more.

The other day I saw a guy threw a Coke can on the main road, it's a tin can it can damage the tire and tire could burst, it can disturb the balance of a two-wheeler, imagine a speeding vehicle tripping over a small can. But that guy just finished his coke and felt this urge to get rid of the can that too on the main road. Dear bastard, God bless you and put some sense in you.
India is known for lack of civic sense in people, but they need to realize that this mistakes costs many lives everyday. By obeying traffic rules they don't only save their life but others life too. It's all about being a good citizen, and for this you need to be good human, being a good human is an art. Just do this simple thing which you can and it doesn't cost any money. Drive sensibly make yourself deserving of the road.
