I didn't want to write about it but it is eating me alive from inside. I know its Eid and didn't want to upset anyone, but seems perfect time to share before anything happens to anyone else. Just wanted to share with you so it might save some lives in future.
I was coming back from my home. I Hired a CNG from Postogola and little bit after I was stuck in traffic. At this time of vacation, jam was quite unexpected. As I was waiting for jam to be over, an Elder was passing by, the driver asked him what happened. He replied that someone died in accident, spot dead. I was totally shocked and reciting some Dua for that poor soul. Driver got out and went ahead to see what happened. When he came back I asked him what happened. He told me the same thing, someone died in #Bike accident. I couldn't talk for few minutes cause I was also riding with my brother in high speed today, I loved it back then but that moment I just froze. Its not like I was glad that wasn't me but the sheer thought of losing a brother or losing someone close to you is quite hurtful. The person who died in accident was someone's son, brother, and a friend. I was thinking last day they were celebrating EID now they will cry their hearts out. When we passed Khilgaon, driver started to talk again. He said its not possible to happen accident at that point of the flyover, cause that was a turn and you have to slow down. Everybody does that. I was just listening and nodding my head along. Couldn't talk. Every possible thoughts were rushing in my head. What will happen to that family. They just celebrated EID. My younger brother rides bike too. If I lose him like that, I don't know what I will do. Even thinking about it brings me to tears. Maybe that person has a brother too, who thinks a world of him. What he will do now. I don't know. We like to call our bikes that is my beast, my love, my friend and many more. But this thing will take you to your grave in instant if are not careful enough.
This was my first picture for myself to remember that place. Because I was telling my mother at noon that I am gonna buy a bike. I have quit riding almost for 5 to 7 years. And to remind me again never to buy bike I took that picture. But when the cng approached a little bit furthermore I saw the blood, streaming down, the police and local authorities were cleaning the road. And the dead body was taken by an ambulance. A young life was lost. I know how it feels to rev up your bike unnecessarily, how does it feels when you are at high speed. Well that will be never be the same again for me. I know that some of our members in BDC rides bike. To them I say, Please ride your bike safely. Don't through your life away just for being cool. I know when we are young, we don't listen to ay reason, any advice. I did that too and still do that often. Just think of your family not you, but your family before you rev up unnecessarily next time.
I don't know how he felt just before the accident. Maybe he was quite happy, but he didn't know what was waiting for him in that turn. May Allah rest his soul in peace. And again everyone try to be safe, enjoy your vacation in a way that doesn't bring bring sorrow to others.
