A Dead Life

Had been to a tech fest today, some A.P. college near J.J. flyover.. walkin through the lanes of Mohammed Ali road was a real bad experience i must say !!
The fest was good enuf, i took part in coding, quiz and typing.. hopin 2 win in Typing & Quiz. The first prize is a Mickey Mehta's Gymn Voucher , dat too for a weight loss plan-- lose 8 kgs in 4 months..!! Wonder what i would do with that..
Anyways, I was tired by the end of the day and all i wished for was to go home as soon as possible, n relax with a warm cup of tea...

Towards the end of Mohammed Ali Road, as my friend and I were going back home on the motorbike, the vehicles had all halted in the middle section of the road and I saw something horrible ...
I had never seen something like this before..
An old lady, who had already lost one of her legs, had got run over by a vehicle, her other ONLY leg was bleeding ... it was smashed, the bones and nerves were out .. and she was actually picking it up with her hand .. !!! There was no feeling of pain on her face at all .... that was most surprising about her...
We couldnt stand seeing her for more than 2 seconds, and we went ahead in full speed ...
I got this lump in my throat for 2 minutes,
We were in that traumatic state for atleast 20 minutes...

All i kept thinkin on my way back home was..
Had those people who were trying to help her called an ambulance?
Will she be given proper treatment ?
What if she loses both her legs forever ?
She looked like she had no one to care for ... how would she live her life now ?

We always crib about the small things in life , and keep complaining ....
Its time we realised there are some things we really need to be thankful to God for ...
