! Accident Born Love - A Miracle Destiny !

! Click on the image to zo0M !

After reading this mail, I thought to pen down the miracle that happened in Vivek and Vidya’s life. I have to say it is a miracle destiny, an Accident Born Love!


Here comes a miracle love story in their voices…



“I will be there in ten minutes…” I said, “Eagerly waiting to see you...,” she said, I smiled, hung up the call and raced on my bike dreaming about my angel in my thoughts. I wished not to stop dreaming until I meet her. Suddenly, a lorry came on the opposite side; I sighted it late, applied the brake powerfully... But…

“Somebody wants you… Somebody needs you… Somebody dreams about you every…” My mobile continuously rang that special ring tone for her... Somebody picked the call after few seconds, ‘Madam…’ A brief pause followed. ‘A guy aged around 23 to 25 has been badly hit by a lorry near our tower… I hope he will survive, and we are on our way to SMF… ‘And that is what I heard lastly…




My heart stopped for a second as the heart I love, the reason for my existence was in trouble ’I should help him in some way’, I, Vidya said to myself after the call. I could not stop myself, my instincts ordered me to visit the hospital and so I did. I enquired the receptionist about the recent accident case and rushed to the place as directed by them.

“We badly need blood, AB-ve, that too within half an hour” I heard a voice; I suppose it must be the doctor’s voice. I rushed to the room shouting that I am willing to donate blood and even my blood group is AB-ve. After a few tests, they finalized, made me lay on the bed parallel to his, and that was when the love in me reached him. Actually, it was his blood and I was donating it back to him. Yes, exactly six months before then I met with an accident, a terrible bike accident and that was when our love story started, a sweet love story…

Vivek, a kind-hearted person rescued me from the accident spot, admitted me in the hospital, and donated the precious, priceless blood of his to save me. I was unconscious when all this happened but luckily, my parents noted his contact details, and that is how he was introduced into my life. After my recovery, I contacted him via sms, I hope the first sms I sent was, “Thanks for giving me a new life” and it rooted to all this. I mean this love, the plan to meet him at the tower, or maybe if I hadn’t sent that message then today he wouldn’t have been here in this situation. Or is this the wish of God, I never know…

The doctors came in, removed the tubes, and thanked me for the kind help. I had no words to say but said to myself that I donated his blood to himself.

“Hey! I am Siddesh; I rescued this guy from the accident spot to admit here. I am the one who spoke with you,” Sid said, I thanked him from all my heart with a huge smile conveying that he saved my twin soul. “I couldn’t reach anyone from this mobile as it is password locked,” he said, I smiled, “I could help you because the password is none other than my name,” I said, unlocked it, informed his friends and parents. I also enquired about him, learnt that he is a writer, blogger by passion, and a Software Engineer by Profession.

The conversation continued, “You must be an angel sent by God”, Sid said, ‘Is it?’ “Of course, you have saved a person by donating blood” he said, I smiled, “I donated the same blood that he donated me six months before,” He looked at me with a shock, “Wow! This might be an interesting one,” he said, “Do you wish to learn about our story?”, “Pleasure is mine,” He said. And I narrated the things that happened until I sent that message, the first message. Suddenly a drop of tear came rolling down my cheeks, “Hey, Are you ok?” he asked, “If I had not sent that message, today he wouldn’t have been put in this situation”, “What is the connection between the two?” He asked…

“Our Friendship started with that message, later it rooted in to possessiveness and finally the magical word spelled upon us. Though we both have not revealed the same, we loved each other within our soul; I would say Vivek is my twin soul, my best half, my… He is mine I want to live my life with him”. I said those with tears rolling down now and then from my eyes and heart. Wiping the tears from my eyes, I continued, “In the past six months we discovered what our positive is, negative, what is common between us and who we are for the other.” I stopped, took my kerchief to wipe the tears, “after a lot of thoughts today we planned to meet at the tower but God decided the other way and made me to meet him in the same place, same situation that he met me first” I couldn’t speak more as I was filled with tears…

“Hey stop crying… Please… All is well… Please…” Sid said. A woman came running towards Sid, hugged and thanked him, then to me, hugged me, conveyed her happiness for saving her son’s life. Sooner his friends, relatives, neighbours reached the hospital and thanked Siddesh and me for saving Vivek’s life.

“See may be this moment can change your life. Now even their parents, friends and relatives love you...” Sid said, left the place with that positive message. It made me think that this is what miracle is, an accident born love..?

I left the hospital after hearing the message that he is out of danger. I had a reason to smile and that reason was the words said by Sid… May be this is what miracle is, I once gain reconsidered it.




“Where I am…” I questioned myself, opened my eyes, saw an angel sitting near me with eyes closed… I whispered her name, “Vidya” that made her shout in happiness. I proposed her at that moment and in response a huge shout “I too love you dear” from her.

“Probably this is what a miracle destiny is!” I said. She smiled; she looked at me with a perfect smile conveying her deep love. It relieved all the pain that I gone through these days…

I was discharged after a week of medication followed by a complete check up. I was very much happy as my parents too liked Vidya, accepted our love and so her parents too. May be, ‘this is what is called as miracle’ I messaged her, She replied as ‘Accident Born Love – A Miracle Destiny’.

Cute Tunes of Nature



‘Hey, I told you it was all fine.’
He then knew it was a clear sign
That they were in the same sweet boat,
And some wave will keep ‘em afloat!

But deep in their hearts firmly set
Was a feeling of comfort they always met;
Every friend knows that this is love
One that does not need any dove !

Through a child’s eyes


This poem was picked by BLOGJUNTA as Poem of the day. Check out the results here



Through a child’s eyes
World is a space for humans
Neither the boundaries
Nor their skins matter

Through a child’s eyes
Race is what happens
On the school playground
Not the human colors

Through a child’s eyes
God is an unseen love
Adored for the blessings
Not the religious divisions

Through a child’s eyes
Mommy & Daddy are souls
Friends & Siblings are blood
Rests of them are relatives

Through a child’s eyes
This poem is a rhyme
A bunch of words to cheer
Without knowing the real fear






Happy New Year !
Happy to a perfect Poet
Thanks for the smiles

Wow ! What a day !

Wow! What a day it was? It started when I met Balaganesh of Linger Print Expert and Aswin of The Utopian in IndiBus. Although we took the long route, we reached the venue before the meet actually started. Just an hour of travel but it was one of my memorable travel as I met one of my best friends in blogosphere, Leo of I Rhyme Without Reason. After reaching Iskon Temple, we were given a warm welcome by IndiBlogger team followed by the registration formalities and that is when Leo introduced Shravan Ragunath. As usual, I went to sit in the last bench but after seeing Leo went and sat in the middle rows. Suddenly I heard a voice that welcomed us and followed by a video about Akshaya Patra. I thought it would be some crap stories but the video made me realize what is Akshaya Patra, Hats off for the wonderful work done by Akshaya Patra, I love to call them of ‘Mother’ of ‘Mothers’. Wow! What a video? What a speech? Hats off once again Akshaya Patra...

I introduced myself with the blogging friends who sat nearby me, suddenly one of my best blogging buddies name popped up, Zainab Urooj of Scattered Thoughts and it was a memorable moment as this was the first time I met her. Based on the suggestion from Lakshmi Rajan of Ginger Chai about the one-minute intro, IndiBlogger Team surprised 60 lucky bloggers to spell out their fame. Although I was not lucky to be in the list my lucky blogging friend, Zainab made me fly with the sweet words about me in her intro. ‘He always supports and inspires me a lot. He writes at Few Miles, Thanks Zainab for the sweet words, I never expected that. After the intro session, we had our lunch, Prasatham (Divine food by Akshaya Patra).

Behind the Back’, a lovely initiative by IndiBlogger that helped me to connect with as many blogging friends as possible and to know about them within the short span of time. In addition, I thank all of them for their wonderful comments. I love you all a lot. Here are some of the comments I loved...

Sketches by Siva Thanuskodi

Why just see? Why don’t we think? Why not act?.... What say?

Today I sat down to pen down a post about an incident that happened in Bangalore, one of the busiest cities in India. The city is not only known for its climate and IT industries but also for Traffic, The Heavy Traffic.

On Jan 1st, I heard a teen-aged guy screaming for help to save his girl who had been hit by a lorry badly. Not even single good hearted people stopped at once to help him as they do not want to waste their first day of the year just by saving a life.”

How did the accident happen?’ – As you all know teen-age is the age for speed and love. The guy tried to overtake the lorry via its left side, dashed with it without his knowledge, that made the girl to fly in the air and dashed the ground with her head. Blood gushed from her skull in seconds. The guy escaped with few minor injuries as he was wearing a HELMET.

Is she alive?’ – In that moment, my instincts conveyed me that she is no more.

Why no one called the ambulance?’ – Because no one even stopped to help him then how can you expect him or her to call for an AMBULANCE?

What am I doing there’ – I could not help, because I am not a Superman to fly from the flyover to service road. However, the least help I could do is to call ambulance, I did that and sped my bike to reach the place.

I could find neither the guy nor the girl. All I could see was the bike and few auto-rickshaw guys were saying some “Elli... bla bla...” I could not understand any as I have a language problem. I mean I do not know to converse in Kannada. With my butler Hindi, I came to know that the girl is taken to near by hospital just before few minutes and there is very less chance for that girl to survive.

“Just before minutes?... But I called ambulance before twenty minutes,” I shouted at one of the auto-rickshaw guys. Learnt that there was a huge traffic near the flyover and that  could be the reason for the delay in reaching the spot.

I could not stop myself saying that she will be fine after hearing them. I raced my bike to the hospital, met that guy, and learnt she is no more and that she would have survived if they had reached the hospital ten minutes before the actually reached. My heart stopped for a second as a life is no more in this world. A teen-aged girl is no more in this world.

Hours before she was happily smiling thinking of the life, she is going to live. A day before I met the same people in the mall playing like a kid with the popcorn.

Now she is no more...

Whose pain is more?

• Is it for the GUY?
• Is it for the LORRY DRIVER?
• Is it for the PEOPLE who never bothered to stop?
• Is it for the AMBULANCE?
• Is it for the PEOPLE who never care to give way for the ambulance?
• Is it for doctor who said that she is no more?
• Is it for GIRL’s MOM who carried the girl to this world after 300 days?


I say that it is for her MOM, as it was her princess and she is no more in this world.

Whose mistake was this?

• The GUY who rode the bike at an uncontrollable speed
• The LORRY DRIVER who not even bothered to stop the vehicle
• The stone-hearted PEOPLE who crossed them thinking that they shouldn’t spoil their day
• The AMBULANCE that didn’t reach at the correct time
• The CAR, TWO WHEELER, AUTO, BUS and LORRY that never gave the way to ambulance to reach on time
• The GOVERNMENT that never took any steps to tackle this Traffic Jam.
• ON THE OTHER HAND, The God who decided her fate.


Some say it is the mistake of the GUY, some say it is the LORRY DRIVER, some say it is PEOPLE, some say AMBULANCE, Some say GOD...

I say it is ‘ALL’. ‘Everyone has to be punished’

‘Is that possible?’ - ‘No ways because they call this as a accident’

‘What can be done?’

• ‘To ride the bike slow – Most of the guys never do that’
• ‘To request the LORRY DRIVER to drive slow – They never do that’
• ‘To request people to help – Well it has to be in human nature’
• ‘To give training for AMBULANCE driver to fly the vehicle – Not at all possible’
• ‘To blame the GOD – Where is the God’
• ‘To request GOVERNMENT – yes this can be done’



‘What is the request about? – WHY NOT A SEPARATE LANE FOR THE AMBULANCE AND THAT TOO IN SERVICE ROAD?'

'How this will help? - It will help AMBULANCE to reach in time - A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE'

Well this request from me to the GOVERNMENT, “Please assign a separate lane for Ambulance & Fire Engines in service road”. I hope you people will join me in reaching this request to as many people as possible... I hope and I have faith in my blog pals...

Why we just ignore these accidents? Why don’t we think to minimize? Why not act by sharing this idea (I know this idea would have come to many people who care about the people they love and to many bloggers and I am not a exceptional to pen down this but from a hurt heart perspective I am doing this.... What say?


PS: I know the pain that it gives to the family and the person as I personally felt. My Best friend (Blind) lost her lover in an accident, the pain is immeasurable and the outcome is tears and nothing else. Nevertheless, today he sees this world through her eyes. Read about the incident here...

Catch the same hot discussion in FB Why just see? Why don’t we think? Why not act?.... What say?
