future. And they were right, he graduated with the highest mark in his
field.Immediately, calls came for him from big companies. One day, Dr.
Anwar was requested byhis friend to accompany him to one such
companies for an interview. They were going by riding on a motor
cycle. On the way, a speeding truck couldn't manage itself and hit
their motor cyclefrom the back. At that collision, Dr. Anwar flew off
the motor cycle and fell on the side of the street. But his friend got
