Lost Humanity

Friday, December 11, 2009

It's 5:32 am over here at my place. And thinking about the incident or better say accident i witnessed, i just can't sleep.

My friends and I, we were out for a long drive at around 1 am in the morning. We felt hungry so went to a restaurant which was closed but they give parcel for home (which is illegal). While returning we saw a crowd gathered near a tree. We stopped to see what's the matter. And there it was a guy lying there covered in blood and his scooter near him. I asked the people standing there and they told he collided with the tree. That man was lying there unconscious and all those people were doing was staring at him discussing something among themselves trying their mobiles on some help line. No one even cared to take him to the nearby hospital which was not more than 2 kms away....and guess what, 5 of them had their cars with them!

For goodness sake what the fuck were they thinking?!
Some think they will be in trouble if they go to help, some just don't wanna waste their time or some maybe worried about the seat covers of their cars....bloody dumb-asses!!!


My friend arranged for a cab and we took him to the hospital.
We checked for his ID card in his wallet and some home contact on his phone....and we called them. There was his daughter's photograph in his wallet.

We went to the spot of accident, and collected his stuffs. There was a packet of sweets lying there. He might have got promoted. And he was drunk (must be in celebration).

We waited in the hospital. After like 25 minutes we went in and we got to know that the guy is no more. He fucking died in front of us!
I remembered his daughter's face...Suddenly his wife called on his mobile, I picked up but gave to another guy for the convenience of speaking because I don't know the local language. I told my friends that I don't wanna see his family. What will I say to them?
I had a reality check, I might be tough from outside, but I was too weak at heart for such situations. I just can't see someone crying.

One of my friend was saying, "Let's go yaar, we'll be in trouble."
I was going freaking mad at him but somehow I controlled. At least he came with us.

The doctor called me in. He wanted to record basic info about us cuz we brought him there. I gave my name to him. He was telling me "We are declaring him brought dead."
The man was breathing when we brought him..And Why the hell is he telling me that? And he asked me to sign on it! I said ok. And I signed.

Only if those people would have brought him a bit earlier, only if we would have went out a bit earlier...he might have been living now.

I don't know what to say. It seems like, we are just called as humans.
Yes, we are a part of mankind...We are man but are we kind?



Added: Based on the comments I received.
Please avoid drinking and driving if you don't wanna end up like this guy because in this fucked up world, no body cares !!!


Sorry for the satire. But seriously, Think about your family....someone who loves you might be waiting for you. Please.
I'm not telling you not to drink...But just be careful. Don't drive if you are drunk. Better use a cab or call someone to pick you up.

    I heard about this incident late evening today and was literally in tears. i dont understand whether everybody has lost the human inside them or homo sapiens are evolving to become wild animals now.if they cant help that poor man in pain, who is losing his life,then they dont have a right to stand there and watch him die.seriously there is hardly anyone who has the real balls to take initiative and save the life of a woman's husband and a father of a three yr. old. and yes i would also like to comment that people should avoid driving after drinking and should be more careful as they have other responsibilities on their shoulders.

    It's really unfortunate, The Ugly Truth of our Indian society...

    why are you blaming Indian society? is that drunk and drive is Indian culture? every one should be careful about their own life and their own family? don't expect help from out side. that help is not going to help you.

  4. Richard Howardson said...

    Well...It might be his fault too.

    But one thing I'm sure is if he was any of the relation of those people standing there...they would have rushed for their help.

    Is that what matters?!
    Blood relation?

    Are we all not a family...of humans?

    ah..really those fu*kin' people lost their humanity...
    even animals are better than humans.....

    I can't tell about India. But whatever happened was very unfortunate.

    I agree. People should not drink and drive but that doesn't mean we shouldn't help them. If he was alive now he would have realized his mistake.

    I'm really feeling bad for his daughter and family.

    You did what you could Richie.

    @ Kelly:

    Sometimes this world seems to be so fucked up...i don't wanna say much.

    Glad to few people who understand, it's still moving on.

    Its somehow true that no one cares for a strange person in this world...
    but they should have definitely helped him to the hospital.....
