Accident NO: 40

I know i shouldn't be making a mockery about having been involved in so many accidents but this one was in a way different from the rest, i wanted to know what others would have done in my place or at least how my friends judge what i did.

It all starts after a mediocre day at work and after a long gap i hit the gym, basically had a dull and tiring day. The route that I take to get back home is airport road -- MG road -- wilson garden -- sadashivnagar -- dollars colony -- bel circle -- and home.

I left office a earlier than my usual time around 9 so relatively the street was more crowded than how it is at 10 - 1030 types. As I reach the domlur bus stop an insane old guy tries to make a dash at crossing the road, there was another person also trying to cross but seeing the light turn green he backed off but for some reason the old guy persists. Seeing the old guy I slow down my pace and tell him to cross but he gives me sign to go ahead so as I accelerate but the dumb fuck makes another dash at crossing and bhaaaaammm we collide my bike goes out of control I slide and roll a lot.

A few minutes goes by I realize that I'm lying on the road I get up check on myself and the damage to the bike also I see that a crowd has already gathered, amazingly all the crowd is doing is to tell me to run, I didn't think it was the right thing to do. I again checked on how I was doing and then I picked up the bike and kept it at side of the road and then I go over to the old guy whom the crowd has safely taken to the other side of the road. I reach the place and see that no damage done at all tough he was complaining about shoulder pain, immediately a guy from the crowd comes and checks him up and declares his collar bone is fractured .. i'm like yeah right.

So now another hero comes up from the crowd is making his intentions clear by talking loudly and asking how we both are and all and then hez like okay lets get both of you to a hospital I him i'll manage on my own just get him to a doc first. The guy said okay we'll take him to Bowring hospital pay us Rs 50,000 .. I just wanted to curse my ass of at the guy but seeing the mob collected around I kept my cool and said sir "I'll take care of myself, it was as much as my fault as it was his so I'll take care of myself and let him take care of himself." To this the smart ass hero goes senti and all and takes about humanity and manavytaa and all. I told him if I had fallen down no one would have given a shit. tho this guy goes on about how karnataka people are so helpful and all. I got a feeling that this is a big time con job that they are planning and my best chance was to run off.

I stay cool and talk along for some more time and then I pick up the old man and put him on my bike. Just to see if he his faking i ask him to put his apparently injuerd arm on my shoulder for support. During the bike ride i made it a point to makehim get as many jerks as possible and on every jerk his injured arm would grab hold of my shoulder i knew that okay hez alright types but still i take him to the hospital. At the hospital I give the guy 50 bucks telling him to have a check up and leave in the same time I make a run for it.

I know it may not have been a very nice thing to do if it was not a con job and the guy was in fact seriously hurt but then i felt it was and so i made a run for it. What do u people think of or rather what u have done.

Whole of last night I sat thinking if it was the right thing to do or not! Felt bad that yeah i should have done more but then in the end I still stand by what I said ... it was as much his fault as it was mine so i'll take care of myself and he will tend to himself.

As for me I suffer a medium sprain on my right wrist and a lot of scratches and cuts, and yeah because of a bad cut on my knee I limp a bit.

Just for precaution sake i came by car today :) .. just in case the mob tries to pull me into this again :(.
