After a few minor personal tragedies, including an accident that saw him confined to the metaphorical ‘four walls’ of his house for a month, this writer is back in blogging mode after exactly 2 months since he posted his previous article. In the past he had eloquently explained to many why he was an ‘accidental writer’, who started writing when he was once in a depressing period of joblessness. Now after two accidents within a time span of 3 years and 3 months, it would only be fair to call him an ‘accident writer’ too, whose right hand that bore the brunt of both accidents has become a subject of self pity to him and a matter of wit and humour to others.
When it comes to accidents, how often could be termed ‘frequent’ is a question that this writer has been confronting all these while, for many have asked him why he is frequently meeting with accidents. On his part, this writer strongly believes that a time span of 39 months between two accidents could by no means be called ‘frequent’ and any man worth his salt would be very much capable of matching or surpassing his feat any time in the future.
At the same time, this writer has great respect and admiration for his professional organisation, for it hasn’t fired him for his predilection of falling unceremoniously on his right shoulder, skidding off from his two-wheeler, that too twice in a time span of 39 months that saw him away from work for one whole month each time.
Unlike after the previous accident, where this writer had many things to write about The Peculiar Living - Life of a Temporarily Handicapped Man, this time around he has no claims to make, no situations to explain and no pretty physiotherapist to rant about (with due respect to the professional talent and kindness of the lady who helped him with the physiotherapy). He has only a prayer that he may not be subjected to such painful confinements in the future, neither 'frequently' nor rarely, which would put him away from work and away from blogging.
