(UN) Lucky day to remember

I don't know if I consider this day as a lucky or unlucky or both (maybe!) day for me. For how many times, we almost had an accident three or four times because of the reckless, undisciplined "muk mafi" drivers who are seem like cows on the loose. Darn! I was holding to my dear seat and held my breath as I waited for the head-on collision that happened somewhere in salwa road this morning. I don't know if there's a divine intervention but miraculously seems like time elapsed and my driver had a chance to turn the car on the left side. My God I can't imagine if the other car had bumped us and crashed us like a canned soda. I'm sure I'll be a dead meat by now. This just brings me down to the memory lane, reminiscing the first ever accident I had and the worst is it happened here in Doha. Having a first hand accident is one of the worst part of my life. I just can't forget that fateful day of February when our company car was bumped by a speeding car and to think that he's suppose not to run fast in an intersection right? I had to wait for almost one hour for the ambulance and the police to arrive on the scene and to investigate the accident. Seems like eternity after the rescuers arrived and brought me to the hospital. During the travel to Hamad Hospital, my life flashes back before me. My family, my friends, my colleagues, the happy and sad episodes of my life played like a rerun movie..This really brings chill down to my spine..Sometimes, because of this worst scenario in the road here in Doha, I almost quit my job and pursue a new one only if not of this sponsorship that's holding my neck that I can't able to resign despite that I really wanted to..Meeting our clients is always a deem part of my job -- unfortunately..Anyhow, as I analyze the circumstances I realized I'M STILL LUCKY after all because I still have the chance to make things right and I still had a chance to live and to do what's my purpose why I'm here right now..I know that it will take time that the traumas of my accidents will vanish into thin air but I won't let this impede me to do what I ought to do..Thanks God I'm still alive and kicking and thanks for George Cayley for inventing the seatbelt that always saved my life for not crashing in the windshield and flew out..lol..To make a joke of the situation, sometimes I always kid my colleagues that I must do a last will of testament before something bad will happen to me..It's always like your one foot is in the grave whenever you're in the road here in Doha..

that's why i always fear for my dear life whenever i'm on the road..i dont know how they passed the driving exams were in it shows on how they drive that they don't know even basic courtesy to give way...they only want to do whatever they pleases and when accident arises they will say sorry..apologized..blah..blah..i loathed this morons who are behind the wheel..gosh..the authorities must do something about this..accidents here are as normal as breathing..you always see some everyday..in roundabouts..in intersection..in highways..God spare us from this muk mafi drivers..

Alhamdullilah you survived such a terrible ordeal. That said death is age blind and its never too soon to write our wills! And yes the deathly situation on the roads does make me shudder. Indeed accidents are so unpreventable cos no matter how careful you are there are plenty of reckless demons out there who can easily bring great destruction and death to another without a thought. God have mercy on us!

in doha are another breed altogether. One can get into the taxi and feel like you've had the best joyride ever; with all frills and fancies and thrills and terrors thrown in for huge measure. I've barely hoped to step out alive on some of these trips..
