PLEASE WEAR HELMETS............

I am restless from yesterday night....That too after witnessing the tragedy iam unable to even close my eyes.
Yesterday after taking my grandmother to doctor we dropped her back home and thought of having a look at NEXT showroom which is in 4th avenue. The road as such is not a wide one and though its a double way road with a divider running along its not of much width. Since the showroom's lights were off , we returned.
Just then , a man in the car ahead of signalled that there was no way. And all i was able to see was a stranded MTC bus. So as usual a break-down was my first thought. But , the vehicles started moving inch-by-inch.
Appothan i noticed that there had been an accident and a man was lying in the road. I wudnt say it was the middle of the road but at the sides. People were staring at him but none were helping him. So i asked my aathukarar to park the vehicle and go and help him. I was at the back seat and my kid at the front seat. But he told me to be quiet and distract my kid from seeing there. I didnt quite understand and while distracting saw through the window.
My GOD!!!!!! It was horrible. Please don't take it as absurd or think me ascruel-minded or something but i thought people should know what i saw. I could see the brain popping out of the skull. I immediately turned and was shell- shocked........
Everything would have happened within-minutes between the time we took U-turn and came this side. 'Cos on the onward there was no chaos....
At the very moment my thoughts went for his family who would be waiting for his arrival. There might be a son/daughter who would be eagerly waiting for the snacks/chocolates. A wife waiting to have dinner with him. A mother restless as the clock ticks off... He was wearing a T-shirt. May be he would have come home, changed his clothes, then would have been heading for some shops...How can his family take this news. So many plans would have been made centering him.
All their dreams shattered within few minutes....
My appeal to all those who hang their helmets as if its a show-piece and the hunky guys who consider it a sin and also the so-called professionals who consider it old-fashioned. (incl my aathukarar)..- Please think of your family and the near-dear ones and try to be preventive. Though not a mistake of yours its important to protect one from others mistakes....
That man could have very well escaped this tragedy if he was wearing that old-fashioned protective covering.......
I have made up my mind to insist on people i know to wear the helmets while on 2-wheeler and seat belts while on 4-wheeler. And i have also started constructively..

PLEASE DO WEAR YOUR HELMET
