The letter that's just getting posted!

Hello friends,

I am alifia, and I have something to say...

Each and every post of mine captures my thoughts and my inner dialogue... this is a letter that I wrote to my dear friend Huzefa Unjhawala, do read it. And share your comments.

When an Adventure Becomes a Misadventure

Gloominess starts to surround, when amidst death, accident happens. And an accident such as a freak one hurts you more than anything else. One such freak accident, freaks me out one sunday when I decided to drive my bike on the road. Deciding to drive the bike itself was a decision that has been very sacred to me. And I say my Prayers asking Allah to protect me and everybody else while I'm on the road. My next step is to go for a warm-up ride. Now I gain enough confidence to take it out into the real road. [Please remember now that this is my first ride on road for work]. All is well so far. The climax of this narrative is coming near. Road is straight till now. Now the challenge comes when I take a turn. All is well still. It is a busy street, but still I feel that all is in control till this god-forsaken slope comes in. The slope is high, uneven, narrow and surrounded by poles. In short, it is RISKY.I put on the accelerator. I vroom in. And that's it. Instead of going up. I go down. I am hurt.But my spirit doesn't get hurt. Of course it was painful. But few hours later, I'm alright and writing this.

But it doesn't mean that every time I do something like this and can get away with it. Because I have seen that accidents can turn fatal. Be it bike, plane or train.

Dedicated to my dear angel friend Huzefa Unjhawala whom we have lost in a bike accident in October 2009, and hundreds of others who have lost their lives in the recent Plane and Train Accidents.
