I met with an accident on January 08, 2014 in Tumkur Road, Bangalore
while I was walking to reach a nearby bus stop to catch a bus to go to
RajajiNagar to appear for my law examination.
Before I could reach the bus stop, I fell swooned having hit by a car from behind resultantly I lost my consciousness sooner had I met that accident.
I vaguely regained consciousness almost after three hours from the time of that accident. By that time I could find myself admitted in a clinic. A doctor was attending me and it seems that he did not fully diagnose and assess my physical condition. He did only a first aid and just examined the wound on my forehead near nose point stretching to the edge of the eye at that point. He had sutured and dressed that portion.
Since I had only vaguely regained consciousness at the time of the treatment I was not able to explain in detail my exact physical injuries and pain.
I tried after half an hour and I could recollect and get to my memory my mobile number, but it was the number what I had been using two years ago. By chance, I could find an old receipt in my purse from which I could get contact number and address. I was taken to the nearby Yeshwanthpur Traffic Police Station. I lodged a written statement in English, the contents of which was explained in Kannada language by the Inspector on duty.
When the Inspector checked the license of the driver of that car – BMW which hit me from behind and caused injuries etc., it was found that the driver did not have a valid license and the one which he showed has lost its currency, i.e. expired its validity. A spot fine of Rs. 500/- was imposed which the driver paid.
The driver informed the Police that he will reach a settlement with me on mutual consent. Unfortunately there was no display in my mobile, I was helpless, I tried to contact my mother’s mobile but it was busy at that time.
I returned to my room in the hostel where I was staying. I came to know after I regained fully my consciousness that I was suffering of abrasions, swellings all over the body particularly in my right leg near ankle. I also found there was an intolerable pain at my back below rib. I informed my uncle Mr. K.S.Nagarajan at Chennai on what had happened.
I remained overpowered by emotions and tried to control it and restore normalcy. My uncle consoled me. I was in the grip of fear on thinking what would have happened had I sustained a major and severe hit by the car; of course, it is not that I suffered of trauma and phobia of ever walking on the road, though emotions dominated.
In response to the request of my uncle to his friend Mr. S.Ramanan at Bangalore, he came, saw me and consoled me. It was considered better to reach my parents at Chennai and accordingly I was shifted to Chennai by bus where on the morning of January 09, 2014, my cousin Mr. M.Hari Chandra Babu received me and assisted me to reach home.
My mother K.S.Mahalakshmi being a senior staff nurse in the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital at Chennai, took me to GH where I was fully examined and given treatment.
There were three main injuries i.e.
I am under treatment and constant observations. I am with POP on the fractured leg and I am in bed rest. I am recovering gradually.
I am advised by my mother that it is not conducive to be scared or traumatized and I should boldly face things to overcome this ailing period by adhering to the medical treatment and advice.
I am advancing all my efforts to restore normality without getting panic looking back at the past.
