Right and Wrong

'I am way to fast while I drive', say some and I to an extent agree...
Recently while driving through a residential area, I passed through a junction, not very busy. I was quite happy driving through this road to my office early in the morning with hardly any traffic around. BANG! I hit a scooter(Activa), thankfully not hard enough and also most importantly not driven by a man!! It was being driven by a girl about my age accompanied by a friend I presumed... My mistake, it was, not braking at the right time... They stopped, I felt like shouting asking her to drive correctly and to pay more attention, all set to argue. The next thing I noticed was her accelerating and even I as was preparing my words, I noticed her turning right and soon vanished... I stood there for a while and drove off, a lot slower though!

Finding some parking space in Bangalore is quite a pain that too on a weekend.. It was another weekend, bored at home, picked up my phone called a few friends and soon was driving to meet them. The time I drove, I took the same time to park the vehicle.. Soon I was at a restaurant sipping a hot cup of coffee. Out of the restaurant I bid my friends farewell and was at the parking lot, when I noticed that a owner of the bike next to mine had just hit my bike with his accidently while get his bike out of the parking space. Though the impact was not much I noticed a few scratches on my bike.. Immediatly I asked Mr. XXX to give an explaination.. He grew red with anger and started advising me parking skills and how wrong i was... Shcoked as I was, went away not wanting any more trouble!! He murmured some words in some language I did not understand till I drove off...

In both cases I drove off... Two different people had reacted very different ways...
I concluded that the female factor and the strength factor were the reasons for the above reactions... Not that I was weak or the girl was, but it was something else that stopped both of us!!! What made us say nothing were two different reasons!
