It happens Occassionally

Hmmm, I remember November 2nd, 2005. Sivaprakash, Selvamurugan, Muruga Prasad (these 3 guys are my friends) and myself were just having a bike ride in the Tanjore NH, near NIT (National Institute of Technology) Trichy at around 7:30 pm. I was sitting behind Siva in his bike (splendor), the other two guys were going in front of us (Muruga was driving) in a CRUX. When we were in front of NIT there were two buses in front of us trying to overtake each other. In order to be safe Siva made his way out of the road. Thats it, the road was full of small pebbles there... then the bike skidded and within a fraction of a second we were lying with the bike above us :) We fell to our right and I got scratches all over my left hand and leg (am still wondering how it happened). I got up from that road after a delay of about 5 seconds and I could feel the breeze of a fast moving bus in front of me (if I were a bit late, say a second to get up then the wheels of the bus would have used my head as speed breaker :) ). Hearing the sound of the crash, the 2 guys riding before us stopped the bike and came shouting, asking me to get up, since the bus was advancing. Then after I got up, they asked me whether I was acting in Matrix (movie), since I was moving in slow motion when the bus was advancing. Thank GOD am alive and typing now. Then we went to a tea shop nearby and washed the wound, a second year NIT guy went along with Muruga Prasad and took some Dettol for us from his hostel... Then the plan we had was wasted that night and we returned home. Still a scratch in my elbow is not cured and its slightly paining (hope it ll get cured soon). I was in complete rest all these days, ie., from the day when my study hols started and I ve planned to start my semester preparation from today onwards :(
