Last week I accompanied my friend to a car accessories shop. There were lot of young adults like us, who were doing up their cars. Here was a freeze moment that caught my eye. One of the shopkeeper was walking with a hockey stick's support. I thought his idea was simply brilliant; If you invert a hockey stick, it is perhaps a perfectly designed walking stick. Out of sheer curiosity I walked upto him and asked him, what makes him do that. He replied in Hindi "saab mein player hua karta tha, bike accident ho gaya do saal pehle, ab mein khel to nahin sakta lekin hockey to apne saat rakh sakta hoon. Aur dekhiye naa, yeh toh ab bhi kaam ki cheez hai". When translated, it means, "Sir I used to be a [hockey] player, I had a bike accident couple of years ago, now I can't play but still I can keep this stick with me. And see, even now it is useful" .
Moral is an accident can do anything. From striking a ball into a goal post to supporting a leg...Bizarre, Isn't it?
