Accidents and Kuwait

It happened about a week ago.

I was just driving back to office after a heavy meal at home. The weather was as bad as a nightmare in summer.

No matter if that AC knob on my car was on 4, nothing but a whiff of hot air blew my face. It was a perfect foil to a great and sumptuous lunch.

And to make things worse, there was this lady who overtook me on a two lane road, driving at more than 80 KMPH on a lane that was supposed to be slow with a red signal ahead.

Here is the picture of this keen resident eager to break all rules and provide her bit towards chaos and mayhem on the road.

Luckily she was saved… as I meant others were saved by her tyranny!

On the same day, I witnessed two cars completely turned around on Fahaheel expressway. Both were big vehicles which caused a major accident. Wonder what drove these people to let their cars sleep on the road?

Note now both the cars are turned aside on the far right!

This is not a rare thing in Kuwait. People are so used to this kind of a traffic almost day-in/ day-out.

I hope not that by the time we realize this, things are far beyond one’s control.

But the important question is… What is most important? Life (Both yours and others) or the thing you are running after?

Accidents are as common as sandstorms in Kuwait… It happens very frequently and when it does, it does real bad!

Hey Guys, Welcome to my random world where only thoughts matters. We’ll see where it takes us. Atleast I hope it will initiate a debate and probably aid in changing perceptions and opinions. My name is Rajan and I am based in Chennai I am from the advertising world (You would have already guessed it by now) and mainly to do with media planning. It’s a great world out there. I am thoroughly blessed to be married to Sowmea who happens to be my sounding board and my great critic. We have two kids and they ensure that we are grounded to reality and keep up with their quest on exploring unchartered territories with their loads of questions and finding eternal answers. That’s where the idea of Random thoughts was born. The “z” in the thoughts implies a twist in the tale and hopefully my forward outlook! Keep visiting… keep thinking… Have a nice time!
