I remember, it was 2002 and my birthday. I was excited for the party, had invited all my friends. I used to go from a bicycle. So on that particular day, there was a traffic jam and I got stuck on my way back from school. Then it happened, within the traffic jam, a manual loaded trolley, on my left foot!

People helped me around. Dad came, someone asked for his number and called. Thanks to that guy! Dad took me for treatment. Since I was an active, athletic, growing kid, I didn’t break any bones. But there were multiple fractures around my ankle and below the knee!

Though it did break my heart. All the kids in my birthday party were enjoying, and there I was—sitting with a fractured leg! Had the cake, and it was gooooood!

Most memorable birthday ever!

Anyway, years later as I look back now, hearts seem more delicate than bones. Try not to break one, and have some Vitamin D for the bones of course!
