Schumi of Pandiyar Bhoomi!!

May 1st was/is an important day in my life! Some celebrate it as labourer's day. Some as 'Thala's bday'. Some (like me and my sister) as "our thalaivar's" thala bday!! Some would celebrate it as a day to sit back at home and relax!!! But then.. for me.. I celebrated it in a different way by meeting with an accident!! ya... ACCIDENT!!!

The sun was shining brightly exactly over my head!! (ada.. 12 noon pa!!!) I thought it was casting a nice smile over me and I took out my first love, Scooty Pep, for a nice ride in the scorching sun!! I never knew that its smile was sarcastic!! :( I had just gone few meters away from my area and was accelerating the so puny vehicle to reach 60 kmph as soon as possible!! By the time it reached the 60 mark, a share auto (adhey thaan.. indha oru auto va remodel panni.. adhula 20 paera ulla thalli ammukki nasukki koottittu povaangaley!!! adhey adhey!!) was approaching me in my lane from the opposite side. Jus then I was thinking of reducing the speed.. Ipch.. Nalla manasukkaaran!! He started switching over to his lane!!

By the time I crossed him, there came a "Hero Honda Hunk" from nowhere. On seeing me, he stationed his vehicle on my lane applying his so-called-disc-brakes!! (enna thaan bayamo.. paya pullaikku!!). My Scooty fell in love with the Hunk, and colloided with it as it comes in Eclairs ad!! We both fell down. My scooty in front of me. His hunk to the left of me and he to the right of me!!! Few pigeons and kuruvi (sorry vijay fans) were circling over my head for sometime!! A never stopping FM signal test sound was echoing in my ears!!!

After the birds flying away in another few minutes, we both got back to normal state where we can start questioning each other on who made the mistake!! By the time we regained our conscience and found where we are, the whole place was crowded with people!! Sadly it's his area and all were in support of him!! Lone warrior, I was explaining and claiming my points!! (Vel padam maadiri nalla vaelaikku yaarum aruvaal thookalai!!). Took time to settle things and rest is history!!!

Yesterday was when we (panradhu naan thaan.. adhukku aprom aftermath ellaam veetla irrukkaravanga paarthuppaanga.. adhaan... "we" :-D) had to settle him the money for repairing his bike!! The total cost came to Rs. 839. And my first love got damaged worsely making me shed Rs. 5000 from my pocket!!! :( :(

When I thought of forgetting things as "All that hit well got (repaired) well", he had told my mom that many are in search of me for hitting him and he has been pacifying them for the past 2 weeks!! (Oru pilla poochi ya adikka iththanai paeraa??? Chinna pulla thanamaa la irrukku!!!) 'Thimiru' padaththula varaa maadiriyae ellaam poguthu!! Aana.. Vishal solraapla "naanum madurai kaaran thaan da!!" nu solla mudiyalaiyae!!! :( :(

Ok! Now analysing on such an accident as per siddaarth!! The good(?!) and the bad ones... The bad one ofcourse is material damage for me and physical damage for the guy with a hunk!! The total cost of my impatience, lack of concentration, madness, rash driving, whatever, whatever... Rs. 6500!!! (OMG!!!!) The good ones... ??? I ve gained patience(?!), more concentration(?!) and steadiness while driving! I ve reduced(?!) my speed nowadays!! :( And of all, I've realised that 'nothing is important as much as I give importance to it'!!!

P.S.: People are yelling at me, "Trisha otturaapla ottinaa.. ippadi pretchanai vandhirukkumaa??". Me sadly replying, "kooda andha maadiri ponunga vandha ok thaan!!!" :(
