Oil Spill
When I used to work in HCL BPO, I used to be working in all the shifts. I worked in almost every shift under the sun. The one worst shift which I used to work is the graveyard 3am shift. During those time I used to be driving my YAMAHA RX135 to office. I used to be very rash driving at that time. I never wore helmets. Probably the few hair which I had lost also cos of that. During those morning shift timings I used to wake up only at 2.30 get ready by 2.55. Exactly at 2.55pm I start from Velachery and within 5 mins I will be in Greams Road, That’s how rashly I used to drive. When I reach office all the little hair I had will be spiked up. I easily drive between 80 to 110kms/hour during those days without any helmets. Though I rashly drive, I had a very good control over bike. I never fell down riding rashly. I used to cut between two cars in just a fraction of second and just fly away. Now when I drive the car only I know how painful that is when driving car seeing those kind of bikers. Though I used to drive so rashly I never met with accident or fell from bike. But I could remember this incident, where I was just driving at 20km/hour very very slowly in Tharamani road. Suddenly don't know what happened, my bike suddenly skid and I fell down from the bike. Nothing has happened to the bike, I had a small scratch on my fingers as few flesh part was torn I still have those scars. I couldn't get to know what happened, then only I realized there was a oil spill very less on that road that caused the tyres to skid. If at all I had seen someone in the front driving and falling or someone cautiously driving or if the oil was visible seen I would have avoided and this would never happened. If I could think of this incident only one thing comes to my mind. However efficient you are in driving, how effectively and fastly you can go. But there is a point in life we would not even know or think of a small oil spill. Which we might have not even considered it as something or we even un noticed but that could be a reason for us to fall. Though how great our driving can be a small oil spill can make us fall. How great we can be, how great we have achieved in our lives, we may think we will never fall of who we are and what we have accomplished and what we can do but we would not know any one small oil spill which we have unnoticed in our lives could be a reason for the great to fall like any other normal men.
