Hi folks luck and god saved my life today. I had to leave to Bangalore from chennai on 26th night by Parveen Travels located at Koyambedu which is about 16 Kms from where I live. I stay in Thiruvanmiyur (Chennai peeps would know about this). I had to take to take a printout of the ticket as I booked it thru cleartrip.

I was lazy to go out and take the print on 26th morning , slept around 3PM in the afternoon thinking that will wake up by 8 PM and leave to the bus stand by 9PM ,but overslept and got up by 9PM then was like I will take the print on the way to the bus stand, left my place around 9.45PM boarded a rick and requested the rick to stop at all internet shops but ran out of luck and all of them were closed now I remembered a place which would be open till 11PM which is at the Thiruvanmiyur Signal( it's a high traffic area),requested the rick driver to stop at this place he was like "Sir, there is lot of traffic here please be careful†,I was like I can take of my self ( was bit rude).

I had to cross the road and go the other side and take the print, there was a divider which is huge ( I mean its not at least of the same size in Bangalore) .I was in a hurry and had to go fast take the print and come back to the out as i was left with 45 Mins of time to board the bus had to travel another 14 Kms admist of peak traffic. I crossed the road climed the divider and booom my leg got twisted when i was about to step down from the divider and lost balance and fell off on the road. Saw a bus coming in the opposite direction , I was trying my level best to get up but couldn’t as my body was not allowing me to do( I am fat ).

I was still trying to get up as the bus was approaching me at high speed then i do not know what happen why i closed my eyes for 2 seconds (I could hear the screeching of the bus brakes and the bus skidding off) .Opened my eyes I was under the bus and the front tire of the bus was 2 inches away from my neck. I was in shock for some time people around me were shouting get up getup , then after 2 mins got up was in shock , was not able to walk but then I was like I need to board the bus went to the internet center took the printout ( did all my self).

I did not realize that I missed my death by 2 inches, came back to the rick sat down then remembered what happened to me, I was trembling to the core my whole body was shivering after I realized how close i was to death today, called my pop immediately he was like what happened I couldn’t speak at all,i was crying like crazy. Till date i never went thru such thing in my life, i feel that god gave me another life to survive and be good in life, I used to curse my self for what was happening to me till date , but from today i will not curse my life I am the luckiest person in the entire world. I still can’t imagine how close I was to death. I was crying when i was writing the above just couldn’t control my emotions.

What have I learn today??

1) Keep things organized.
2) Be very careful while crossing roads.
3) Do not be lazy in life

PS: Sorry if i have any typo error’s. Wrote all this when i was traveling and posted it just now..

oh dude , nice to hear that nothing bad happened, and yea....take proper care while crossing roads ....Indian traffic = gg
 
^For got to mention When i was under the bus ,there was a rick guy who banged the bus and a car which banged the auto in turn .The rick bad was badly scr**ed, i go the info about the rick guy , i will be visiting his place and paying him all the expenditure coz i am sure he must have lost his lively hood coz the auto was totally scr**ed.
 
That reminds me of taking the printout for my eticket for reservations done on 31st night for going to chennai.

Usually I take the moment I do the reservation online, but this time I am lazy and irctc was blocked in my office so ... just did the reservation using vpn and cannot connect to the printer.

Now after hearing your story ... I realize that I should not be lazy at all.
 
Take care metalspree and don't take such risks in the future. Now's the time to do something life-changing as well. You only get such chances once.

Good luck!
 
wow. maybe join a gym first to burn out those extra fat you accumulated (i'm not making fun here, you said you were fat and your body wasn't getting up)

if this gives you any hope (or forgot what the right word) is i had near death experiences lot of times : 1st - best bus and a car, 2nd a motorcycle, and so on. lost count. either i'm lucky or a duffer while walking on the road :ashamed:
 
Good Lord, thank heavens your safe, you should thank lord allmighty, and probably do something for the less fortunate, and also do as you already mentioned helping the auto guy would be really nice of you.

Be careful in the future, all the best!
