For those of you who might be thinking that this post is about Martini...it's not.
Well this is about how a supposedly uneventful day of mine got a jolt and took a turn I had not foreseen. Life had been going on at a pace that had somewhat become mundane. And thus thought the one above… lets undo the status quo.
Well I won’t get into the theatrics of what happened. In simple words…I got banged and I got banged hard. Actually, it was my car that got banged & that too by a dumper.
The angry piece of machine came charging at my car & despite my attempt to swerve away, the collision happened. As it rammed through the fender & the bumper, the crackling sound made me skip many heartbeats.
The dumper was so close to me that the door could not be opened & for few minutes the car got tangled with the mean machine. It took a lot of maneuvering to detangle. I almost thought that this is it and I would go away like the bumper did.
But in all of this chaos, I was fine. Safe, unhurt… I was fine.
What ensued for next few minutes was the crazy public gathering to see what was happening, cops intervening, a howling dumper driver jumping on my head & me trying to understand what just happened.
The owner of the dumper reached in some time and without any questioning, offered to pay for the damages. He sent across one of his employees along with my car for repair as well. His employee paid for the damages not getting covered through insurance, then & there.
Finally, the madness came to an end. Am happy to come out of all of this unscathed, but how do I really feel?
Shaken & stirred…
