Alive...no better than dead..

I met with an accident today morning on my way to office. It was all my mistake..my carelessness…the car is damaged….thankfully I was slow otherwise I wud have seen the damages on my body as well..there was no body at mistake…nobody was hurt..no damages to anyone..just me and me..and my poor car…

I lost my concentration..messed my driving with the mess in my brain…I had done that before as well..there is no better place to commit. My friend actually pointed my mistake telling me that “u were lost while driving..and that’s dangerous”. That certainly was.

Morning I got up and unlike my routine I sat in drawing room and started discussing my life and things I need to do which are too crucial with mom. I guess that was the wrong time. I went to my wardrobe..picked my new top to tell myself that everything is fine..and I need not worry about anything…and then I started my vehicle…just about a km..i was still in my sector..when I put it in 3rd gear…but suddenly something happened and I started thinking on so many things…I knew my thoughts were taking all my concentration so I put the vehicle in 2nd gear and slowed down…was thinking on so many things and then I realized it was 1st Aug..salary wud have been credited..and this time I will get a new music system for my car…and then I saw the barrier at the gate…I don’t know why for the first time it was down…as soon as i reached, I saw the another vehicle coming from the opposite side..though I was slow but I somehow felt that we were going to collide and I lost my control and moved my steering to right ..and that particular moment ended my dreams and thoughts…it was severe accident of my car…it is completely damaged from the front..water and petrol started leaking…I saw people gathering..i had no energy to come out of it..

I was so sense less for secs...then I came out to see what happened…and cud see the damage…I lost my confidence…I lost it because I had too many things in mind…I somehow managed to drive back home to park it…then I called my boss telling that I wud be late for work…I started walking down when my colleague came all the way to pick me..i didn’t want her to because I cud not stop my tears…but by the time she came I walked approximately 1.5 kms and was very much in control.

When I came back..my office people were looking at me and my condition..i cud barely speak…watery eyes and red nose were but obvious after such an incident…they then started telling me their various encounters…and accident stories and told me that I was safe and much luckier than others..that made me feel better..but now sitting in office I just don’t feel like working..every other min the scene of me loosing control over the vehicle comes and I just see myself as a looser...I hope I will be better soon…enough of my experiences…
