ALIVE BUT NOT KICKING PART – 2

You might have read ALIVE BUT NOT KICKING PART –1 in this blog.   I am recovering day by day but the whole experience turned out to be much bigger than what I described in Part 1.  I wrote the part 2 of the story  more than a week ago in order to share the experience with my colleagues here.  Now I am posting it here just  to share some of these learnings with you all, in the hope that it may prove beneficial to some people at some point since the situation is very similar in most of South Asia.

ALIVE BUT NOT KICKING PART 1

13^th April,2010

Just to let you know that I have been offline for few days. I met with a smallish accident where the motorbike I was riding skidded on loose gravel on the road near Tansen, Palpa and I fell on my knee making two holes there but luckily no fractures. However the exhaust pipe resting on my ankle area while I was unconscious for a few minutes caused some small but bad burns which will necessitate some grafting of skin. The positive part was that it happened just 30 km from a good hospital (the United Mission Hospital) in Tansen and near good friends like Henny and Jakob. And just after the accident a taxi passing by with some good people brought me to this hospital while Henny and Jakob gave me a warm reception to the small hill town of Tansen. All my previous plans to visit them had not materialized, this one accidentally did.
