Standing By...

The other day i was walking along one of Bandra's busy lanes when i see a speeding car (a sedan i.e. ikon, esteem, siena type cars), probably dark blue or black in colour (it was night time, so couldn't see much). As it whizzed by, i heard a loud screech and by the time i looked behind, a man was flying through the air. The impact with the car must have AT LEAST broken his leg. In addition he flipped three times in the air. He must have been thrown a good 10 feet off the ground. i was atleast a hundred feet away but i could hear the thump as he fell. And what does the car driver do? He/she simply drove away as fast as he/she got there. i regret not helping the injured man. i regret not being able to note down the car number. i regret walking away after the initial 2 seconds of shock. This happened on the 5th of May at around 8.00 p.m. near Noodle Bar in Bandra and it took me more than 5 days to write about it which again i regret. i scanned the papers the next day and there was nothing. Maybe if a celebrity was involved, it would have made news. The guy who got hit may be in hospital or at home or may even be dead cos it would be very easy for his head to hit the kerb of the pavement after getting thrown in the air. i know this may be of no use but just once i want the driver of the dark-colored sedan to know that he should atleast feel guilty if he isn't already. Atleast more guilty than i am feeling right now.
