Missing kiss of death narrowly

Yesterday there was a strike call in West Bengal.
The roads were almost empty. I usually leave office at 9:00 to 9:30 pm.
But since I anticipated less transportation option I left early at around 8:00 pm and took a shuttle. The shuttle car was a white colored ambassador.

The driver was young and energetic. Fortunately I got seat in the front just beside him. Around the middle of the the journey there is a place called Science city. There we need to cross a bridge. Few yards before the the bridge a speeding Tata Sumo crossed our car from left side to the right. Just before the bridge the same car was pushing our car towards left. Our car was running at around 60 km/h. In front of our car just few feet away there was another car blocking our car from moving forward. The Sumo was pushing from right side, in the front side vacant car blocking us from speeding away and in the left side was a small bush separating two roads at slightly different level just before the bridge. My co-passengers started panicking. And I started laughing. The word that came out of my mouth was "crazy". And then the car stopped jerking into the bush and just kissing the car that was left vacant in front of our car. The Sumo Sped away taking a zigzag path. People just heaved a sigh of relief. I was quite amazed with myself. If the accident happened I along with the driver would have been affected most and still I could not help laughing at the moment.

The recursive call called "du diner duniya" that was called on 30th Oct would have been the last call and still I was not down. It gave me enough confidence to enjoy and feel even the last moment. I felt empowered to face even the kiss of death with smile on my face.

Changing the system from within the system.

Do we need an emergency situation to awake? Yes we do need one most of the time. We only get awake when a Parliament attack, Mumbai attack, Samjhouta express attack, Mumbai local Train attack etc do occur. The problem is not that we get awake when the crisis occurs. But the problem is we fall back to sleep when the crisis is over . Let’s stop doing falling back to sleep. Whenever a crisis occurs the first thing we think is that we need change the system. We essentially first point our finger to the corrupt politics system, intelligence system, police system etc. The more we can name the more points we score as if we are in a mission only to find who the culprits are. I have a problem with this notion of only fault finding and essentially taking no action based on the finding. Who comprises the system? None but us. The collective individuals comprise the system. It’s we who give birth to a corrupted system and continue to feed the system with corruption in everyday. How? Let m...
