As it was only 4 O’clock in the morning,
there was nobody on the road. I was finding it difficult as the drizzle was
blocking my vision. I have to cross a forest on my way. It is at the boarder of
Kerala and Karnataka. It measures around 40 km through the thick forest with
many hairpin curves. As I entered the forest, it started to rain heavily. I
drove slowly through the rain s I had no choice.
Two cars over took me splashing the rain
water on me. I started feeling cold. After a few kilometers, the rain stopped. But
I could not speed up. The mist was blocking the way. I could hardly see a few
meters. I drove dead slow and continued. When I reached the middle of the
forest, I saw a line of vehicles. I just overtook them and went ahead. I could
not go far. The road was blocked by a big tree which fell across the road. I
couldn’t even see the other side, partially due to the thickness of the leaves
of the fallen tree and partially the darkness. The first vehicle on the line
was a pick-up van.
I asked the driver, “When did you reach
here?”
“Around 5 O’clock”, he answered.
I looked at my watch. It showed 5.30 in the
morning. The rain started again.
