2. Interlude:
My thoughts were interrupted with the sudden brake of my taxi.
The driver of the taxi I hired was a careful man and he refused to drive fast. Then what made him brake the car so suddenly? We witnessed a tragic accident. It all happened very quickly, as most accidents do.
A car had made a left turn without signaling and as a result a bus crashed into it. A few cars behind the bus rammed into the bus as they could not brake in time and soon it became a pile up, halting the whole traffic.
As it turned out, the driver of the bus fled from the scene and it even looked like he might have fled even before the accident. He vanished so quickly.
Mine wasn't the nearest vehicle stopped, but I was the first one to reach the spot. The impact of the accident had left the driver of the car lifeless on the steering wheel.
His passenger, a lady in her forties, was seriously hurt and bleeding profusely from the head and hands. She was conscious although too weak to realize what had happened. Door was jammed and I couldn't pull it open. As I was trying to open it with all my strength, she looked at me with her weak eyes and extended her hand to me, before falling unconscious.
She was dying in front of my eyes. I thought I should not wait for any assistance. I kicked the door a few times and fortunately it worked. I pulled her out of the car and my driver helped me to lay her on the backseat of his car. A few men had by then intervened and were trying to pull out the driver. It was very tough and they suggested that I should take the lady to the hospital at the earliest. I got in, and the driver rushed us to a hospital.
We reached the hospital just in time. I guess the lady will be saved. But she was critically injured. Two security officermen came to take statements from eye-witnesses and my driver had vanished by then. He might not want to be involved in this at all. The driver of the collided car was brought to the same hospital, and declared dead on arrival.
I later gave an account to the security officer of what had happened. They told me to stay in touch. I had enough time and I didn't have any problem to obey.
I was in Gujarat for a few days. It was my first visit to Vadodara for a client visit on the personal request of Mr. Rajat, the Indian head of the company without the knowledge of my CEO.
I walked through the corridors of the hospital, watching the Gujarati lives. Everyone was struggling in the hospital. Everyone's in pain. I had my own pains, but at those moments, I felt at ease, because none of them was my closest. Carrying a small backpack, I walked around like a tourist.
One of the strugglers I witnessed there was She.
