It was raining heavily.
I was driving my car on the National Highway to Bhubaneswar.
I was returning home from the Cuttack High Court after having successfully defended a case in favour of my client.
I was happy & thrilled, yet I wasn't driving speedily.
Normally, I am a very safe driver who obeys all traffic-rules, including maintaining the speed-limit.
I am extra careful when I have to drive on wet roads.
Suddenly, I found a truck headed in the wrong direction, direct on course of head-on-collision with my car...
I had no time even to curse or think- "the roads are filled with idiots".
I applied sudden brake.
I thought of my spouse and all the important moments of my life played in flashback in my mind...
