I was driving in my car with my mom for shopping towards Lajpat Nagar market in Delhi. As I approached the major crossing, called the Moolchand Crossing, I saw three boys in early twenties driving the motorcycle recklessly. Suddenly the bus in front of them applied breaks and these three without the helmet bumped into the bus and two of them got the head injury.

Past two months I was off the writing and got busy with the school of great repute! This time it was class X and IX! This is the first year when the board exams start for class X after a gap of good seven years. This is a panic situation for the parents and teachers who have not dealt with the board exams earlier.
