Damn the traffic in Ludhiana. No one ever seems to follow the rules and what's even more is that they still have the guts to blame the other guy.
So I was returning back home after an hectic day at the office, it would've been somewhere around 8 PM and I had just reached Cheema Chowk, when I noticed a white Swift dancing wildly behind me, the driver was of course in some kind of unearthly emergency, so I gave him the space to move past me and he does so wildly and that too from the wrong side.
After which I indicated the direction I intended to turn at the roundabout, checked my mirrors and turned the wheel, when seemingly out of nowhere (his headlights were off) a motor bike tried rushing past me and again from the wrong side which was also the side I was turning to and slammed into my door. Fortunately for him, I was slow and managed to turn the wheel in the opposite direction, thus saving him from a fall, but as usual, the driver glared at me as if I had grown two heads and hurried along.
And here I was, left with a banged up door but thankful that the guy was still in one piece.
So first thing tomorrow, I'm gonna send my car to the body shop for a makeover, hopefully it doesn't burn a hole in my pocket.
