Life of Rajesh

Well Guys I came back from my hometown this Sunday and here is a summary of what happened there.

First of all we were going to go to my Hometown via Car and not by Train.The orignal plan was to set out from our house at 3 AM in the morning on 18th October,but Dad changed the plan at 9 PM on 17th Oct. and set out for our hometown at 11PM on 17th Oct. itself! In all 3 cars were there-Scorpio,Indigo and a Tata Sumo.In Scorprio my Dad,Mom,Sis,me and a Uncle who works in our office along with the driver were present while in Indigo my Aunt and uncle,their 2 kids and the driver were present and Sumo carried all the luggage

We travelled the whole night and crossed Bengal and Jharkand.Then just near the border of Jharkhand at around 11 in the morning we stopped at a Dhaba for some refreshment.The Dhaba proved to be a “Dabba” and the food served to us was just tasteless,so we decided to go to another Dhaba.My family sat in the Scorpio and we moved on while my Uncle and Aunt decided to stop for some more time.After about 15 minutes my Uncle called up my Dad saying that the car was not starting.We headed back to the Dhaba and there my Driver along with the driver of the Indigo tried to start the car.We even pushed the car from behind so that it can start but unforutnately it did not start.

Then my driver again opened the Bonnet and was pushng a fuel pipe button and told the Indigo ka Driver to sit in the car and try to start it.The Driver had just sat that he started shaking terribly ! I thought he got a electric shock,my uncle and my Dad were too afraid to hold him.Then the uncle who worked in our office somehow removed the car keys from the keyhole so as to make sure that there was no current present in the car.Then the Uncle from his experience understood that he had “Mirgi” ka attack! The uncle then somehow managed to stop the driver from shivering and we took him to a hospital nearby.After that my Dad had to drive the Car and at Patna we dropped the driver to the Railyway station and told him to go home.

We all thanked God what would have happened if that Driver could have got the Mirgi ka attack while he was driving the car.I felt guilty in one way,since the Car I was hating so much actually saved many lives ! My Dad was more than shocked about how that driver did not tell him about this disease to him! Well after that we reached our destination safely and safely came back home also,but this incident really spoilt the mood of the whole trip !

P.S.-Anyone knows whats “Mirgi ka attack” called in English???All I know about this disease is that it is very old and usually happens to people who live in villages
