The above incident is a true incident and I have tried to put things as it is..
Its not very often we experience an accident ..
A few accidents will leave you with some memories that will be haunting you for rest of your life..
This is one such accident which is still haunting me... I guess it will be for rest of my life.. It affects the mentally than physically..
My family had planned to go to Ooty during my second semester holidays. I was forced by Mom to accompany for the trip( guess my ESP worked correctly... should have listened to it and stopped others too..)
This trip was planned all in a hurry, my father had to book buses to coimbatore in some unknown travels.
Sometimes even there are signs that help you , its just our common minds that doesnt see it.
The day we had to board the bus.. we tried to catch Bus to go to bus stand, but we had to board an auto which was very bad since it was already late since none of the auto-wala agreed to come with us.
On the way, I got a thought.." What will happen if an accident.. happens?"
Strange co-incidence or fate... , the auto tyre got punctured... We had 15 mins to board the bus .
The auto driver caught an another auto for us and asked us to board in. As my father paid him in a hurry .. and off we went to meet our sourful destiny of the night.
We reached the place on time , the bus was abt to start .. we rushed in and kept the luggagges and went in to our respective seats..
I have a brother who wanted to sit near the window. I gave him the seat and asked my Mom to come to sit with him .
Myself and my Dad were sitting in a 2 seater ..watching the film which was getting played in the Bus...( we were seated on the right side of the bus..column where the driver sits..)
10.30 P.m
The bus crossed over bangalore trunk road.. Something was disturbing , made me feel so uncomfortable in the bus.
11.30 P.m
The bus was crossing Ambur, by the time I had fell asleep...
11.45 P.m
There was a loud sound coming from the front, when I opened my eyes.. all I can see was dark... the moment I realised something bad had happen..
The bus driver turned left to avoid an accident from a over taking lorry which was coming from the opp side.
To our bad luck when the driver turned right to make the bus come to road.. the back tyre of the bus got stuck on a pit causing the bus to roll over the slanting paddy fields..
The bus toppled twice.. All happened in a split second...
I got up and got to see only dark.. there was chaos every where..every one was shouting to break the glass of the back door
My dad was shouting to check if every one was fine... every one acknowledged positively..
Imagine you are standing on a amni bus which is now totally on the toppled position. When I saw there were few people climbing out of the window.. only one thing came to my mind.. Am I dreaming ??
" Thud!! crash" The back door glass was broken by some one .. All rushed out of the Bus out of fear that the bus might catch fire any time..
After coming out, my Dad examined every one of us for injuries... my brother was kinda scared.. My mom got so scared, that she could not come out of the scare.. that she broke down.. on that place itself..
We checked our selves... I had minor blow on the head which was bleeeding,my brother had got some injuries on his hand and nose.
My Dad was alright. My mom was the one who got seriously hit.. she was covering my brother from getting injured which lead to her hitting the luggage rack on her back..
My mom was not able to sit down... its just later we found that she had incurred a spinal fracture due to the hit.
Its been more than 9 yrs , still the impact is heavier..
My mom is still getting treatment for the fracture.
Till now my mom is scared of buses even if she tends to see it..
and I have got one thing for sure .. the fear of buses..
I have started to live with it... though I say that I am brave enough to travel in a bus... when ever the bus makes quick turn or the driver stepping suddenly on the break..I have my heart in my mouth.. may be I can call it as BUS-O-PHOBIA.
