That junction is a killer junction. People coming on the perpendicular road don't realize that there is a junction coming up. Also they see the whole road ahead of them empty, therefore the natural tendency of drivers is to speed up... Which turns to be dangerous! And that's exactly what happened! I was on first gear and just nearing the junction, suddenly a two wheeler whizzed past me as i press the break... but it was too late and the vehicle's tail hit the end of my front bumper and her Scooty took a half turn and fell down... she fell down on her shoulders... I immediately parked my car and went to check on her... already there were about 10-15 people surrounding her as she picked herself up. Apparently she had blacked out for few seconds... she had a deep cut on her left eye brow and had some bruises... she was complaining of shoulder pain... however it was not so severe.
She didn't even know what had gone wrong... when i told her she suddenly came in front of my car as i breaked... she admitted that she was rushing to office as she was already very late and had got a call from office. She was apparently trying to get ahead of a SUV and an Auto rickshaw and that's when she came and hit me!
I told her i could help her getting a first aid and also let her relax for a while... I took her to Aneesh's office (spot was just behind Aneesh's office) helped her with first aid. Waited for her husband to come and pick her up. We had also parked her bike in Aneesh's office. After about 30-40 mins later her husband landed up and he looked very angry and annoyed with the whole thing... I tried to be friendly with him and explaining him what had happened... however, he seemed indifferent and just took her away!
After that even i drove back to the destination and kind of shrugged it off... i was happy that everything went off smoothly... had it been a man driving the bike i am sure it would not have been this smooth...
To my surprise brother of the lady called up Aneesh this morning to inform that she is admitted to the Hospital and the bike has suffered some damage... and he was trying to get compensation for the same... what i don't understand is that why she needed to be admitted in the hospital? She didn't suffer any major injury, neither did the bike had any major damage... the bike got some scratches here and there, and one of the rear view mirror had broken... What is more surprising is that they had the time to find the office number and called... He even avoided giving the name of the hospital where she is admitted!
This action provokes me to think, is this world not for people who are honest, compassionate and nice? Had I the fled the site, what would have happened to her? Is this the reward of taking care of people, even when its not your fault? Why does people always tend to think, if your are nice to someone, there is something fishy about it and pressure can get some some undue advantages!!!
