Some Parcels of Life Here




The accident occurred somewhere near our place and this isn't even the highway, it's a road with speed limt of 80 km/h. The car was definitely going faster than that judging by the state of the wreck. This is where it is puzzling. Alcohol is not allowed here, so driver shouldn't be under the influence of alcohol. It is a straight road, so it shouldn't be a situation where driver loses control while negotiating a turn. So is it possible that he/she was trying to overtake and lost control? By the way, did I mention that one can normally see such wrecks along the highway too?

I am constantly amazed at how dangerous some drivers are at this side of the world. It is like as though they started with a death wish. They whizzed in and out of the lanes, in between cars at crazy speed and they seriously think that is the only way to drive here.

On a side note, our air-conditioning is not working again. It is the second time this month. Am trying to remember to stay cool and drink lots of water. It's going to be a hot day.
