A few days back I visited my friend to collect a few pieces of scrap glass to get the feel of its surface and the play of colours on it. I was pretty excited and managed to select 3 pieces. We started cleaning the dusty surfaces before I could pack them away in my safe jute bag. By the time I neatly reached the last piece, I cut my thumb. What a razor sharp edge!! It did its job in a split of a second. With the stream of blood flowing away merrily, all I could think of was BAND AID!!!!
My friend being an expert at the job, we got through with it pretty quickly and I was just about OK. In the past I have managed to put back together the big toe of a man which had split into half while the rest of the people moved around in daze waiting for the medical help to arrive. There have been a couple of other gory incidents too but I surprised myself this time when my hands started shaking at the thought of pressing down my wound with turmeric. Guess what, my friend had to do the job for me while all I could do was soothe and caress it to the amusement of everyone around me =)
When I did reach home finally, my mom aptly said..."What a start!!" ...and rightly so...and whats the take away from this experience?? ..Respect the mediums...=)...
