Two narrowly avoided accidents

This time I was saved from two very serious accidents while I was riding in a rickshaw. Once a bicycle came and dashed against the rickshaw. I thought that we would fall down, but the cyclist fell down instead. I told the rickshaw-wallah, “Stop! Let us see whether he is hurt.”

He said he would not stop because the cyclist was the one who had dashed against us, and he went on.

The second incident was absolutely the most dangerous. As usual, I was sitting in a relaxed way and my right knee was outside the rickshaw. A motorbike was coming directly towards us on the right side. I thought, “O my God, my right knee will be finished!”

The motorcycle stopped within one foot of the rickshaw. If the driver had come a little closer, my right knee would have been smashed. Luckily, nothing happened and I was saved.
