The unexpected fall...wake up :)

This is a Sunday evening. I’ am typing this in my laptop placed on my table with ‘wake up sid’ movie vcd lying nearby which I finished watching just now. When I look at my ipod on my table I get a feeling that it’s trying to say to me ‘please remove all the old songs from me and update with some different set of songs’. My dear Ipod, I’ am thinking about it my friend, will wait for few more days for some good songs to be released and will add some English songs as well. Till then be happy with what you have :)
After my job change I had nothing much to write on till now. Everything is going on as expected and smoothly at work. But yesterday was different. Something unexpected happened which I’ am going to pen it down..I mean blog it down :).

I parked my two wheeler in the new Mantri mall at malleswaram yesterday morning, after enjoying a ride around. Met my friend Dinesh who was one among our ‘Mumbai ka dost’ gang. Had seen him last on nov 2008 when I left Mumbai. We roamed around the mall which it claims as one of the largest in Asia. We watched the movie ‘Shrek forever after’ in 3D. Movie was good enough to be rated atleast 4/5, a thumbs up from my side :)
While returning home in the evening, I dropped Dinesh at sampige road and I went ahead to do some shopping. At around 6 pm, I was done with my shopping and I was now racing towards home navigating the Bangalore traffic.
Just 10 minutes away from home it started raining heavily. I picked up some speed and all of a sudden came across a pathole dug but not closed properly. In a flash I applied brakes and tried to avoid this hole by turning the handle a bit. The result? No price for guessing..my gaadi skidded and fell on the road with a thud and the engine went silent. Immediately some people gathered around to help me and we all pulled the bike to the footpath though it was not that easy to move as its mudguard had got stuck and it was raining as well. Though I was saying to them that I was alright, I could see my hands and legs shivering and blood in my forearm and slipper.. but I did not get panicky, I was still calm and trying to think what has to be done next. While getting up from the road I shook my head with disappointment for what had just happened but soon realised that I was fortunate enough that I did not suffer any fractures and more importantly was not crushed or knocked down by the speeding vehicles coming behind. As the bike was not moving I had no other choice, I had to call my brother to pick me up..needless to say how much worried all at home were when they came to know about this.
I washed my wounds with tap water in a nearby apartment. I had few bruises in the right leg and hand with some soreness in my right shoulder, the side on which I fell. While I was waiting for my brother to come, a security person in that apartment gave me company till then. We were discussing about the accidents which usually happen at this spot and laughing about the incomplete work carried out by blore corporation which just digs up the roads at will and leave it as it is.
But it was a reminder for me that I should not take anything for granted, I'll continue to be content and satisfied with whatever I have with me, will try not to complain much in life..and I’ll be more careful in future with my driving :).
