I got up with a strange feeling that something is not just right today. i mean , you dont know but its just one of those things that you just sense in your head but cannot explain.
left home at 8:20( 20 minutes behind my scheduled leaving time) for office. Sanjay (my officemate) was waiting at Andheri signal , picked him up & left for office. Usually we guys chatter a lot on our way to office but today we were quite & i was driving a lot slower( yes slower) than usual.
Suddenly just before the Malad flyover, i saw a piece of rubber coming flying towards us, i had only a second to dodge the "piece of rubber" & had to avoid the traffic behind us.
I steered a little to my right & managed to avoid the flying "piece of rubber" , which to our horror was a tire of a moving vehicle .
Though we managed to escape a fall , the tire crashed into the left front side of the bike & bent the Clutch lever, mirror ,hit the headlamp & finally hit my Helmet.
we were completely shook & failed to understand this.
the good thing is that nobody was hurt & we reached ofice safe .( the bike still needs repair).
whats freaky about this whole thing is that i some times feel that these things are predetermined & are that superpower's way of telling things. that does not mean that God(or whoever) is standing up there with a thunderbolt in one hand & an event log in another , its just that its hard to understand the timing of the event. why i left 20 minutes late than regular?? why sanjay deliberately missed buses & waited for me?? why i was running slower than usual ?? why us?? coz, had any of these things had not happen' we could have easily avoided the situation & there would've been somebody else at that point of time ,at that place. We managed to set ourselves in sync with this disaster that was waiting to happen, now ..thats freaky!!
(& by the way, the owner of the vehicle does'nt know how the hell his wheel came off!!! )
