Do I have a reason?

When I was Mehdipatnam today on my way back home, there was a lot of traffic and I heard some people talking about some accident. I got the bus and it took some good amount of time to reach Tolichowki. When I got out of the bus, I found many people standing on the other side of the road. I reached home and came to know from my father that an accident really took place near my house. It was around 2 pm when a truck driver lost control over his vehicle. According to my father the brakes of the truck failed. It ran into the other vehicles on the road perhaps. The truck dragged with its failed brakes for around 200 meters and stopped. I am sure it must have been a terrible scene. To my father's knowledge, 5 people died.

I know nothing more of this but I am sure there is a lot more to it which I will come to know after my father returns home. He has gone out to get grocery.

Tolichowki has always been witnessing many accidents. Every few months something happens. This thing happened after some good time and it was the worst of them all. I remember the first accident I saw here. I 15 year old boy was crushed by a truck. It was on a Saturday evening. I remember I didn't sleep for 3 days. I still remember seeing the dead body lying on the roadside. Sine then I have see and heard of many. Even the one where the brain of a woman came out and her hands were ton out of her body. My Allah bless us all with a safe and a long life.

I don't know how I did my tests today. I studied many things for the afternoon one but the questions asked were not the ones I had studied well. I don't regret it. I read things; I didn't learn them. InshAllah I will start for tomorrow's in a short while.

Alhamdulillah even today we had the discussion on religion with one of my friends taking the charge - as usual. JazakAllah. I thought we won't be doing it with our tests on, but we did and it was good. It was better than wasting time after coming home. After I came home at 5:30 pm, I prayed and at 5:45 I went out to get the iftaar. I was so tired and my legs were aching; I still had to get it by myself. I still have some pain; even in my head. But I will start the preparation for tomorrow.

Today was the 17th of October, 2006. I am counting days - for many things. I like doing it. It makes me get serious and feel bad. I like it. And I like people see laughing when they come to know that I like these things. But ... everything has a reason.
