Close call!

Have been meaning to write this since yesterday evening, but could get around to it only now...nearly 40 odd hours after it happened...and am lucky to even be here to write about it! Yesterday morning, as usual, left home for work at a time when the rush hour traffic would have subsided and was cruising along the freeway. Like a tonnes of idiots who drive slowly in the last lane, encountered such a dude in front of me, and decided to move to the lane on the right and pass him....gave my indicator lights and had almost completed the manoeuvre when I realized that the dude on my right was also trying to change lanes (with out giving any indicator!) and almost hit me side on at approx speed of 65mph!! Had to break hard and move back to my original spot (luckily no one was behind me) and honk hard at him to make him realize his stupidity!! He apologized and no damage was done to either of us, but once again reminded me of what I wrote in my previous post...Live each day as if it is your last! and also live in the present moment (easier said than done!). But am now more determined to implement this in life...

till then.........

p.s. just read this on another blog..sums it up nicely..
