I was about to open my eyes, towards my left i heard a voice, “Doctor, the patient is regaining consiousness”. This prophecy was made by the nurse who was pouring warm water into my mouth. I open my eyes and see the white room and next to me this white dressed lady (See, i didnt know then that she is a nurse, or that, iam in a hospital), it was like scene out of bharatirajas movie (who typically uses white dressed girls in his songs). Now, what is this, you may ask. wait for the next para.
The doctor at the same time was saying”anything is possible, he has no visible injury in his head, but internal injury is possible, and possibility of brain damage is there”. When he hears the nurses voise, he comes to me standing next to me asks for my name, do i know where iam now etc.Remember, these are not difficult questions, but next he asks if i remember why iam here in the hospital. Seemingly innocent question, if i answer it wrongly i will be certified a mad person, possibly. So, i recounted the incident which happenned.
It was like this:I and my boss were coming from a software company fo which we had done a code for a bank on signature verification. That day, we had wound-up the project, and we are on our way back. He was riding the Bajaj bike, and i was in the pillion. When we were close to a Hospital, He asked for the hotel which we want to go, it was the year the Computer Society of India had an exhibition. Before i answer i saw, off his shoulder, a Buffalo in the middle of the road, And before iam able to verbalise it, we had an accident. Normally, then during that time, this road had occasional other vechiles and a lot of Water carrying lorries (Water Tank Lorries
). These lorries are the latest BMWs of Lord Yama. Fortunately, that day we didnt have any other misfortune, and someone on the road had admitted us to the hospital.

After a day or two, i was discharged from the hospital. And was pronounced Normal.Because they didnt know, this is when i started to think about for the first time about my existence, the Why and What of it. This is the turning point for my spiritual journey.
