Cow Milk Grabber to Super-lady! My encounters with accidents.
Me and my mum were discussing my decision to become a vegan.
I said to her that i am gonna stop consuming white tea, cow's milk, ice-cream etc.
I hardly escaped from a sudden bang from her.
She would not let me be a vegan.
She believes and says that i escaped all the road accidents i ever had in my life due to the calcium my body had attained from drinking the oodles of glasses of cow milk!
That was years back. When i was a childish child and was a milk grabber.
More than water, i drunk milk. And may be i have become so plum-like because of that.
Talking about the accidents- I have had 3 road accidents in my 22 years on earth.
First one happened when i was approximately 4 or 5 years.
Just remember only some glimpses of that.
I, mother, infant sister chu and grandmother (terror achamma) were going by bus to attend a wedding.
Bus ended up in a big ditch.
Mother was in a bad state, lost her good teeth, chu got hurt on her forehead, achamma got bad, bulging eyes and i came out with no scratch, as fresh as i got into the bus.
Cow's milk did not have to do any wonders, i have no idea, how just me among all the wounded passengers, came out like that. All were so surprised. oh, yes, i definitely acted then, like a super-lady!
Next one was when i entered to the final year of my degree. The private bus Nandan, i took to IJK, hit something, and collapsed leftwards, hurting every passengers. This was only a foot away from the Karupadanna bridge. One foot frontwards, then we would all have drowned. Super-lady came out from the bus shown below, again, like a super-lady. But did not act so, had to act as if i got hurt.
Do not misunderstand me. Naa..i did not get time to take a snap, i didn't even have a cellphone. This pic was taken by our driver chettan in my mum's phone, when they went to see the sight, before even coming to see me at the hospital.
Just had small tissue damage, but had to get admitted for a day, due to the idiotic compulsion of a lawyer and a teacher.
i came out of the hospital only after two long boring suffocating weeks.
A ladoo cheated me, even when i am always, so badly faithful to it. Due to my craving to eat a ladoo, Amma bought it from a shop near to the Modern Hospital. Alas! that was an old stock ladoo and it gave me diarrhea.
Some say it happened because i was frightened after the bus accident.
I wasn't. in fact i was happy to come out with no big wounds. But yes it had given me a shake. Began dreaming myself falling, bus turning out, and nightmares of that kind. And i am still frightened of bridges. Unfortunately, my home is between two bridges.
Third one happened just few months back. It was when i went to submit my MA dissertation. A bike hit me, left a scratch on the left foot and muscle tissue damage on thigh and waist. Got up. Was in no state to behave like a super-lady. It was an utter embarrassing movement to fall down like that, near to the Campus area.
Walked as if nothing happened. Even my guide of the dissertation did not notice that i have risen up from road, hit by a bike.
May be, my mother is right, cow's milk gave me strength to stand up every time i fell. Thanks to cows. My bones did not break on all these accidents, and at occasional leg sprains i have had.
Bottom line - I have not quit from the plan to be a vegan.

The best thing being vegan is still in ‘planning mode’ and not a decision yet… I guess your mom got a point there….but more than all that I m really intrigued by your accident prone trips..!!
