I'm a Lawyer!!

Just a mere thought of the person who tried to break-in into my car on that lonely stretch of Mysore Road and later who threw the big stone on my car that led to a nasty accident still scares me.Its more than 6 months now but the thought of that day still sends chill through my spine.
Makes me think did I act cowardly that day. But when I think again, I realise that I was not coward, it is just that i did not act smart and did not use my brains. Anyways you can't change the past.
I always used to have this reccurent dream of being stuck up in something like that and I always used to fight with the person. I always used to think that if I'm ever stuck in some kind of robbery or kidnap I will always resist but then what we think and what we do is not always same. That day was a lesson well learnt.

Just after I hit the milestone and was bleeding profusely there were few people gathered around to see what has happened. A young man, may be in his early 30's stopped there to help me. He immediately called an ambulance and checked if I was fine. Then he noticed that my car was badly hit and it would need a major repair. He said you need to file a FIR
so that you can claim for an insurance as it was very evident that the car was new.He also explained the whole procedure of what I have to do and what do I have to tell the police.
Then he said you have my number, I am a lawyer i will help you out in claiming the insuance. Before he said that, I thought what a self less person he was. He had stopped to help me and did everything he could do at that time. But when he said that one line I was confused, whether this help was coming because he saw a prospective client in me. It might be a silly thought but then it made me think do we ever do anything without any motive ???
