An Accident or A Reunion!

We think it does not matter if we are alone or not and so we let small differences to get in our relations. But we only realize the importance of friends and family when we need them like in an accident.

Its only in the time of need we realize who our real friends are and no matter how big a gap had been created previously, we will be amazed by the love and care from our friends. 

Accidents indeed are blessings (as long as they don't cause any permanent damage) because they give us a chance to forget all the differences and fights and start over again which we would never have allowed to happen in everyday life.

A friend of mine (Umair Ansari) met a motorbike accident today with a dog. The dog escaped with no apparent injury but neither my friend nor his bike was as lucky as the dog and had to reach emergency for first AID and workshop for repair respectively. He suffered bruises on left knee, left elbow and on the chin where he got 3 stitches. The condition of the bike is unclear yet...

He messaged a friend...

And all the friends were soon at his bedside in emergency cracking jokes, laughing and making him feel lively. No one could tell who is his best friend and who is the one from whom he has not spoken for a long time.

 That's the beauty of such incidents in life. They make us realize subconsciously that how fragile we are and how short time we have and at that moment nothing else matter.
