A Series of Unfortunate Events......

Well this a little story of the various accidents/fractures/misadventures that i have endured/received in my 20 years on this once green earth.....So here it goes, i may not be able to jot down all that i have managed to endure but i'll try my best!

Disclaimer : The events transcribed here may or may not be in chronological order, more will be added so keep checking this particular post!! Rest assured that all the details are true and werent made up just to make an interesting read.....

Catastrophe #1

here i was, maybe 5/6 months old, sleeping like a baby (duh!!) in my imported cradle and boom there's a mouse on my face and it has bitten off what was then a chunk of my damned nose!!! And i was bleeding so profusely that my mom said, my head was looking like a REALLY ripe tomato!! I still bear the scar of that attack on me, really embarrassing :S and my mom proudly tells this story to all, so i decided I'll tell it too!!

Catastrophe #2

When i was really young, like 3/4 years, i used to live in a place called Thakurli, and there were railways tracks right behind our apartments, so this one day, i went on a little adventure on these railways tracks.....i walked for like 30 mins and i was really young and dumb, i feel unconscious on the damn tracks with a train careening towards me, then all i remember is that I'm sleeping in my room with a high fever, i dismissed this incident as a dream, but when i woke, i realized that this incident did happen....apparently an unknown man saw my lying on the tracks, saw the train coming towards me, he picked me up (read saved my life!!) and started to inquire our building watchman about me, he then handed me over to my mom, scolded my mom for not keeping an eye on this young child!! and left...i never got to see the man, nor speak to him.... and since that day i NEVER ventured on the railways tracks....God Bless that man!!

Catastrophe #3

This was one of the most catastrophic injuries that i have ever received till date.......I was like 7 or 8 and my family and me had gone for a wedding in dadar, and we had to cross two main-roads to get to the marriage hall which was located on the other side of the road and as curios and naughty i was, i wanted to get to dad who had already crossed the road and was waiting for us to cross, i let off my mom's hand and ran to cross the road, not realizing that the signal had turned green and a huge white Ambassador was hurtling towards me at high speed, before i could respond this car had hit me and i flew about 4/5 feet in the air and landed on the foot path, and that car had sped away thinking i was dead. Mom tells me that she too had thought i was dead and started crying and went numb for a few minutes, because my seemingly lifeless body wasn't moving, hearing all the commotion, all the wedding guests rushed out to see what had happened, the brides dad was feeling awful and was trying to console my mom, luckily and obviously, i was breathing and was taken to Sion hospital and after examination, the doctor said i had a major fracture to my right leg, just below the knee. So, my leg was all plastered up and i had to miss about 45/50 days of school for recuperation.....
