“If I don’t leave tonight, I wouldn’t be able to make it to the conference tomorrow.”
Though it was raining heavily, he decided to drive down much against his family’s wishes to wait till the next morning. The highway surrounded by mountains was prone to getting dangerous from landslides and other accidents during poor weather. But he was always up for challenges.
When he didn’t call the next morning, his parents filed a missing complaint at the police station. His body was found a few days later far away from his car which seemed to have fallen down a cliff.

True Abhishek, he didn’t really expect that the rain would be so bad. Complacency and over-confidence got the better of him and he had to pay with his life.
Thanks for stopping by. Welcome to my blog :).

Some people are too stubborn for their own good. Obviously he was one of those people.
