incomplete

Chain of events....
Tuesday, 4:45 pm, I checked the time and figured out that it will take 30 min to reach IISc, so i can be there by 5:30, till now everything was fine... then i realized i have to pull my cloths from washing machine, so i spent 5 min on that now time was 4:50, looked at my self in mirror before leaving and started towards IISc, ( didn't find any difference..i don;t know why we look at mirror at times... may be its just our habit). On the mid way to IISc, i was figuring out which route to take, i had two options one was via Makeri circle and another was via BEL road, in last min i diverted to BEL wala route, and everything was fine till i faced jamm, some 20 min gone in jam, surprisingly i was not irritated by jam, but when i get clear signal, i was flying like free bird. Bike was on moderate speed and everything was fine..till...one scooty with two girls on it...came right in front.. and screamed on top of their voice...now ...i could hear danger and i could see danger and i also sense.. but it was soon over in no time!!!... It was over in form of accident, and next min i was on road and so is my bike and their was absolutely no danger. It would have been worst as it was two way road and i fell on to right side, where the traffic was coming from opposite direction, and i fell right in the middle of road, that was one reason, i could not avoid accident. Now i just had accident with two females on it, and slowly slowly people started making circle around us, few came leaving their shops and few joined just for entertainment, few thought may be they should help, few joined as everybody was joining, few joined as they don't know what happened and they should know and few joined out of curiosity. Well now everybody was waiting for show to start, so i started it, i asked those girls what is this... now they realized from their past that this is war and one should scream, shout and should do all crazy things, as that is how they have seen others, so to start with attack was in language which is considered to be hi-fi in India..so it was some non stop English garbage, which no body in the crowd followed.. so people got more curious, and they started asking whose mistake was this, two people who saw the incident...said "ladkiyo ka". In the mean while one girl started accusing me, and blamed me for everything. I realized its famous blame game starting and will have no end, so i made use of mobile to call police. Since those girls were localite,, some aunti passed,. who started interrogating my studies and things as if she found me suitable for her daughters!!....somehow she wanted to know if i am engineer or not,, she had assumed that i am some engineer...I waited for traffic police and then left matter to them in mean while i took phone number of those people and let them disappear, i also noted their bike number, now as per traffic rules i should go and report the matter to RT Nagar traffic police, i realized my bike was badly hit and was not even moving...two people came for the help... we remove few bents .. now handle was looking okay.. also with few adjustment.. it was ready to start, i started and realized its not moving. so i assumed some problem with gear box.. it was not going beyond 1st gear. Some how reached police station...after some waiting,.. police person got very friendly ...actual reason i realized later...he wanted me to ask money from other people and so that he can have some share...that was little unacceptable to me but i didn;t resist...he called them from my phone couple of time.. reply was that we are lawyers...what the hell..anyways... i wanted to see how things would turn, after two hours of wait, and his constant calling to other party they turned up.....police reminded me about his plan... and asked me to behave as he asked me to.. he said u look soft to me.. but u have to talk to them aggressively.... he wanted me to increase my blood pressure...
anyway other party came... one man came to me.. and said come i want to talk to u outside the police station.. he was around 55 year old man, i was sure he is not looking for some more fight.. but then y outside police station... he said some ,, and come with us.. and we will get ur bike repair...but don;t talk to these police people...he made promise that he will get my bike repaired.. but his son was not liking his fathers idea and they also had culprit with them, they started blame game again... and son and father both were lawyers... and son started talking to me as if i am some bad crimanl who is just out from jail...i felt sorry for them. I sense birth of another argument.. to which i had to put pause... i told those people.. just because we met in accident doesn't mean that one party is bad and other is good... or visa versa.. or just because you are three in number , thus majority wins .. or just because driver was female.. we should have sympathy for her...i said lets stop the process of non stop blaming and treating others like shit.. father made promise to me that he will get my bike repaired... i will end story here.. they kept their promise but it was not easy to get things done... next day again same small hangama took place... and lot of discussion.. lucky my bike was not damaged badly as i thought.. so they had no problem in keeping their promise...
moral of the story...

1) don't play blame game after accident, as both think they are right,,, and no body listen to no body..
2) It does and matter if u r good person or bad person, you can always be involved in accident, and will get hurt. No point in calling other bad and self good.
3) If you are still in position (survived after accident) to fight after accident it only means that there was no accident and thus no point in fighting.
