Why was It Necessary?
Why was It Necessary?
You know what – sometimes in life after coming out of certain moments I want to kick myself. This incident is just one of them when I just took my bus and came back home ignoring whatever I was looking at. It happened almost one and a half years ago. I had to get my bike serviced at city motors so I was there at 7:45 AM (Still had to wait about half an hour in the queue) – Yes that’s how famous it was before it became Pratham motors. No idea how is it now.
Anyways after leaving my bike at the service station I came back to the bus stop to take my bus home. I waited for nearly 20 minutes by this time the morning breeze was gone and all I was feeling was hungry and sweaty. I could see the bus coming but I did see something else also which I ignored for reasons I am still searching for. This is the story of two bikers one alone on his bike and the other with a pillion rider. The other guy was driving around crazily on the highway stretch swirling his bike around until he ran into the simple guy trying to evade a ruthless PMT driver. The simple guy fell down but the subsequent events were all the more surprising. The guy who did dash his bike into the simple guy’s stopped his bike just behind the fallen one – which by the way was right in the middle of the road. Then he forcefully removed his helmet and slapped him twice and continued. The mistake was his own but he was so in denial as if he believed that the entire road was his own property. This incident might look funny rather than a sad one. But it’s not that if you have seen such people in action. I was wondering what was going through this self-proclaimed innocent guy hitting the other one. What heights humans can achieve with their ego is really indefinable to me. I think after all if the loss is materialistic then the outcomes also got to be egoistic.
The onlookers (me included) did nothing apart from pity. But I was wondering why was it necessary for the ravaged soul to park his bike right in the middle of the road ? Why did he hit him ? Why no one did anything ? Why was the innocent guy getting beaten up by the guilty ? Why the guilty were two and innocent just one ? Why did I still take my bus and get home ? Nothing happened to the guilty’s bike but he wanted to show off. Because the damage was not to the bike but to the ego. He was the owner of the road to his knowledge. He was authorized to park his bike in the middle of the road and disrupt traffic. How could I be so inane to something so incorrect like this ?
P.S. Didnt get time to write this one properly but this is a half filled thing nonethless.
