Remember this as if I read it yesterday. I hate accidents but you wrote about it so endearingly (like you write other stories) that I didn’t feel panic and dread only felt care and compassion and wonder at everything that happened. ♥️

I am hope when you returned to school, you emulated that iconic Ajay Devgn entry scene in Phool Aur Kante. Bajaj Chetak on one side, Kinetic Honda on the other.

I mumbled to them, “I won”.

I was holding my breath through out reading this and then I read that line. After that I was sniggering .

What a great read to start the day.

How utterly surreal to read about Telco Colony like this on Substack. Those ups and downs, those flights of stairs, those eucalyptus trees - and youngsters discovering life on their two-wheelers! I used to lie down on the back seat of our Fiat car and watch those very same streetlights passing over my head: light-dark-dark-light! ❤️

Thank God, Jesus, Mary & whoever else, I didn't know of this before that drive to Fagunia! That music is playing in my ears as I type this.

Yes. A man and child were on the other scooter. Nothing happened to them. I think my scooter bore the entire brunt.
