What I never wanted to see - 1

That was a winter morning and I am driving back from my uncles place. I am alone in the car and very eager to join my family at the earliest. That's a festival day and as I drove and crossed town after town, I saw that festive mood everywhere. Those people who are away from their families. The climate was pleasant. I was enjoying my ride and feeling very happy with the thought that I will be joining my family.

My happiness was short lived, as I saw a person, with all festive purchases, coming in the opposite direction on a motor bike, suddenly took an U-turn (against traffic rules), and got hit by a speeding heavy vehicle. The person the the bike was thrown into to the air and fell down. We all ran to see, only to find tht person died on the spot. All the festive purchases he made got shattered on the road. A small toy, which he probably purchased for his kid was firmly in his hand.

By seeing that incident, I lost my festive mood and started thinking about his family, who will be eagerly waiting for him to return, only later to know that he went to place from where he could never return.

I never wanted to see this type of incident/accident, but could not have avoided.
