Experience

To day we(Mr. KS Venkatesh CM HRMD and I) have had the most horrific and gruelling experience of having felt the touch and presence of death from a very close distance.At about 7.45pm my personal driver was ready with the official car at the entry/exit gate of our office to pick and drop us at our respective residences.The car was full of petrol and so also the driver.By the time we could realise this,the driver was spirited enough to race the car with  the wind.The next 45 minutes of drive seemed to have an endless journey escaping headlong confrontations with other vehicles/heavy vehicles, pedestrians,two wheelers by a hair line distance amid  Ho Ho loud sounds from others on the road and feeble sounds like oh; Ayappa Ayappa from the throat of Sri Venkatesh inside the car  continously .It jumped all most all traffic signals making our faces pale and heartbeats so loud to hear it  by naked ears.By the mercy of God we reached our destination unhurt with a huge sigh of relief.All throughout our journey we were constrained to have the smell of death coming directly from the entire respiratory system of my driver Dushan(pollution) by name. What was a guiding spirit behind the spirited behavior of Sri Dushan was almost a death knell for us . Miracles still happen.
