YAHOO!!!! I am travelling back to India and my heart is all jingles playing in echo. I was feeling like a hostel girl going back home. In my one year stay few moments made me cry while lot of moments made me realise that life is beautiful. I made few good friends for life and leaving them was a bit hurting but again they are all Indians so I have hopes to meet them when they fly back to our country.
Now, last day of my stay we decided to party and our gang of five were ready in two cars. Kiran’s car was leading us while Amrutha, myself and Shashi in another one following it sincerely. We were having good time and I always enjoyed drives with these people. I also like another combination Amrutha driving, me in front passenger seat and rest of the guys behind us. As usual our jokes zone was going on with a zoom and suddenly I heard a BANG.
When I opened my eyes, I saw an airbag popped up on my face and another one on A.J’s face. I realised that we met with an accident. I could sense Shashi sitting behind was checking if we both were fine. We both answered and he seemed relaxed. Slowly we got down and I could see Kiran and Bugz are walking towards us in hurry. We all are fine. I immediately saw other car , they were also fine with mild injuries but cars were damanged badly. OMG, seeing the car’s condition I felt lucky that we are safe with just minor injuries.
Immediately police and ambulance arrived. The cop jeep lights were very bright and colorful. The way they flash lights looks like disco lights. Anyway, we finished all formalities and gathered to decide where to go as we were hungry. “IHOP” all of us decided.
At IHOP, I got chance to look at my face. My left eye got bruised badly as if somebody gave me a punch on the face. It looked funny. 
Everyone was trying to get out of that incident when, “Padma”, Shashi called. I looked at him. “Now you understood na how airbag will come to use?” he asked and offered bite of pancake.
We all broke into laughter and thanked god for giving us another opportunity to smile again.
Cheerio,
Padma
