Roadside drama

This was, to a great extent, horrifying!

I was going home from Churchgate in a cab. So there is this big 4 roads junction that comes up after Oval Maidan. And we had a green signal so my cab kept going straight ahead at a reasonable speed. Out of nowhere, there suddenly came a car from the left side and took a huge turn. Such a fast wide turn he took, that my cabwaala had to really swerve to avoid a crash! And what's happening on the right side at this time? Well there's a bike on our right which is also going at a reasonable speed. So in the hope of avoiding a crash, my cab brushed against those bikers and they were 3 of them- big guys on that 1 bike... The bike fell & these guys just got up and they gheraood the cab and they started beating him up and slapping him...! It was horrible... They just went on hitting him so hard, he even got a cut on his face! I was so terrified I couldnt move for around 15 seconds. Then I thought i better get down and away from this whole scene. But then one of those guys told me just keep sitting in the cab! I think my heart came right upto my mouth!It wasnt even that cabbie's fault! They didnt even listen to what he was trying to explain... But they just beat the hell out of him, it was scary...

Anyway, then people gathered around and I guess they told those guys to let him go since there was a female passenger inside...
He managed to drive properly till my building finally came... He had tears in his eyes, it was just terrible!


Speed demons....

Several Points

1. I will never be able to understand why people get so excited to create tamashas on the road by bashing up people for no rhyme or reason!!

2. I don't understand why those idiots were beating up the cabbie..I mean if they could really beat him that way, well I'm assuming they were fit and fine and not hurt...so what was the beating all about?! Such losers!

3. I understand when such things happen...and that too all of a sudden, one does tend to freeze...But the next time you see such tamasha happening, immediately dial 100. Trust me they will take your call and react instantly. All the 100 calls are monitored by the headquarters...so they cannot NOT take your call and they cannot afford to NOT react.
