Miraculous Escape

Today I was coming back to Office from "Ramkrishnapur"(In Howrah) on a bike. The road was filled with pot holes, so I was riding slowly and carefully. All of a sudden a child crossed the road not watching approaching bike. But thank to God I was able to pull both of my breaks on time. The child was unhurt and got some slapping from his kins. I stopped there for few minutes , thinking if I would have collided with the Child and the Kins,who slapped the child could have beaten me to death or left me half-dead.
