This was our convocation day, 24th december 2007. I got my M.A. degree and Tamanna got her B.A. degree. Tamu was not too happy with her orange-bordered sari as it was not as good as others. And to top it all, her orange robe was not clean. But for me, she was the most beautiful.
Yesterday, I saw an accident. This is the third accident that i have seen after coming to Chennai. I am paranoic about the rash driving in Chennai and the accidents which subsequently occur. Chennai is too fast-paced, I feel. Or it may be that the place I am currently staying in is always in a mad-rush.
The speed of the vehicles make me very tensed. I have left my parents at home in Cal and I always think about them. In Calcutta, people don’t drive so fast. The accidents that occur are mainly due to the rush between the buses or a lorry. If the pedestrian is a bit careful, he would be unhurt.
What I feel is that every locality in Chennai should have a 24-hour ambulance service specifically to come to the help of the accident victims. Yesterday, when I saw people attending to the victim, I felt he should rather have been taken to the hospital.
Life is more valuable than anything, so lets make ours and others a safer life.
