A Ride to Remember – partly

I know I pressed it too hard, and it got stuck, I think so, but it was too late when I realized that. Can anything be done now? A million thoughts running in my mind, at that instant. I really dint know what to do, I was wondering is there any way this could be a dream. I was wondering what I am going to tell my parents. I had just dropped my dad at his office some 10 minutes back. I was wondering if anybody around is watching me. It was almost like flying in the air, except for that I was holding so tight.

Everything got stuck, it was out of my control, nothing was moving in an expected manner, neither did it stop, but it was sliding, along with me beneath it. First my legs, then my shoulders, now my hands, I was so glad that I had protection for my head, and as I was thinking about it, my helmet kissed the ground and I could hear it screeching over the road, just below my ears, and it all finally came to a halt(Remember the times? when using protection, meant wearing your helmet). I had fallen under the bike, just near to me was the guy sitting on his bike, who was trying to cross the road, panicked and stopped in the middle of the road, who was the reason why I braked so hard.

I was lying on the road, I don’t even remember his face, neither his bike, I was just trying hard to look into his eyes deeply, only to realize that he was looking at me, as a traffic, that got cleared, and paved his way to cross the road.

I stood up, and tried to move my bike out of the road, only to find that the front wheel had got stuck along with the guard, that caused it to skid. With the help of a few fellow human beings I managed to get it to a corner, and somebody brought a mechanic from somewhere, and helped me to get my bike ready.

It was my good, that I had some minor scratches on my hands. Well, helmet – yes, today I got to know, why its necessary. One guy, gave me water did some first aid, helped me fix myself, and my bike and sent me off when I felt comfortable. I was very happy that there are some kind people around us.


And that’s when I thought, I just got a new post to brag, sorry blog about.
