an accident from hell

a lorry driver who just didn't want  to waste a moment of his life to think abt others' safety hit and run almost. .. the driver's side. the driver side doors are badly dented and the impact had taken vijay by shock i could see from his tension in the face and speechlessness. it was totally unexpected...


i don't know what gotten into me... i opened the door ran to the lorry held onto sth and started banging the door. some samaritans on the road came and parked in front of the lorry so he'd stop. the lorry driver wouldn't get down inspite of repeated demands . it was near a junction and people insisted we park a little further down the road.

i immediately noted the number.. asked him to follow us. meawhile vj got down the car confused, angry, worried... asking the driver to get down and that's it. the driver said he would stop down the road ... instead just took off!

we immediately got into to the car and chased the lorry past Thane into another bordering village.

finally we ovettook him. he stopped still wouldn't get down. i call 100.. it redirects me mumubai police... i explain abt the incident and tell them wwhere we were.. they say we have to call thane poilice and gave me the number.. huh i wasn't surprised.. they could hv redirected the call... i call on the number given by the operator and guess what?! the number does not exist or is temp out of order.. shit.. an emergency police number is out of order!!!!... what the dash.. dash the dash police

anyway... like some angel comes a guy - 'press' is written on his bike.. asks what happened.. i explain, gets furious himself.. makes the lorry driver get down. meanwhile another 6-7 guys come.. some passer's by and some from nearby shops.

each of has questions.. does own insvestigation.. meanwhile the lorry drink does the unthinkable.. says he didn't do it.. that somebody else must hv done it.. that he doesn't remember seeing our car..

at this point now.. i am completely taken aback just boilin with anger at the rascal's disgusting behavior.. i went stood like a couple of inches away from his face and shouted at the peak of my voice.. "ek dhoon kya.. sab yaad aayega.. kya nakhr e kar raha hai"

wow did i just do that.. well.. vijju was busy explaining to passer's by,all polite, being all nice and seeda saada..

it doesn't work like that way in india.. does it.. huh

and then this another fellow comes.. i guess a lorry driver. says " insaniyat ke nathe chod do yaar" i retort, "hamara gadi asman se nahi tapka.. free mein nahi mila.. hum bhi mehnatha karke kamake khareeda hai. kya kisika gaadi tok ke bhaag na insaniyat hai? kya baata kar raha hai.. gadi dekho left side.. pura lkharab hai." phir baat karo.. he goes has a long look at the left side. awestruck and bas khamosh.

after 30 more min of grueling q&A, arguements stuff we finally go the nearby police station

again drama.. police come ask the story, ask the driver.. say the area where the incident happened doesn't come into their jurisdiction blah blah...

finally kuch kilanike baad.. unke dimaag ko aur pocket ko bhi. they file a complaint take the guy in remand for the night and let us go with the FIR

a desi movie here. what u think.

by the way... once again... like we were lucky during our past half a dozen accidents, escaped without any body injuries... lucky for the lorry driver that bhuvi was not in the car.. warna aakhri din hotha dash ka
