The Traveller: A Never Ending Journey?

Crash! Boom! Bang! That is what a musafir (traveller) as I, always witness along the highway. Road accidents along the PLUS Highway constantly happen. Every single day! These tragedies have made me contemplate that I am always putting my whole life at risk every single weekend. Life as a musafir is not an appealing experience.
