TAT Accident Based Story : Example
Story 1 :
Krishna, the captain of his college cricket team, was returning home after completing his cricket practice at 6:15 PM. On the way, he witnessed a car hitting a small boy who was returning home after playing. Without wasting time, he immediately rushed towards the boy while calling a nearby sports shop owner for help. On reaching the spot, Krishna quickly used his towel to stop the bleeding from the boy’s left hand. He then asked his friend to bring a bicycle, and together with the shop owner, they rushed the boy to a nearby Sahyadri clinic, where he was given medical treatment and proper bandaging. Meanwhile, Krishna dialed 100 and informed the police about the incident, providing details of the vehicle’s number, color, and model. Within two hours of his complaint, the police tracked down the culprit. It was found that the driver was a learner who had panicked after the accident. He later apologized to the boy and his family and agreed to pay all medical bills.
Story 2 :
Debasish Roy, a 26-year-old software engineer working at TCS Kolkata, was having coffee near his office window when he noticed a boy riding a bike at high speed who lost control and hit a road divider just 20 meters away from the office gate. Without wasting time, Debasish, along with three colleagues and the security guard, rushed to the spot. He immediately assessed the situation, asked the guard to bring the first-aid kit, and within minutes gave initial treatment by stopping the bleeding on the boy’s right hand using a handkerchief. He instructed one colleague to bring his car from the office parking and another to inform the police, while the security guard was directed to manage traffic and clear the road. Within three minutes, his friend brought the car, and Debasish, along with a colleague and the guard, rushed the injured boy to the emergency ward of P.G. Hospital. Doctors quickly attended to the boy, and after two hours of treatment, he was declared safe. Meanwhile, the police arrived, conducted necessary checks, and confirmed there was no alcohol involvement. After treatment, Debasish dropped the boy home, and later the boy claimed insurance and got his bike repaired.
Story 3:
Suraj Kumar, a BTech student of D.Y. Patil College, Pune, was returning home one evening at around 5:30 along with two of his friends. The roads were not very crowded, and as they approached a crossroads, they suddenly heard the loud screech of car brakes. Suraj noticed that a young boy playing with his bicycle had fallen down, with a car stopping just behind him. A crowd began to gather and started blaming the driver, but Suraj quickly rushed forward, controlled the situation, and prevented the people from crowding around. He checked the boy and found that he had only a few minor scratches. Suraj asked one of his friends to bring bandages and some chocolates from a nearby medical shop, while with the help of his other friend, he dispersed the crowd and reassured the frightened boy. He then applied the bandages to the boy’s injuries, gave him chocolates to calm him, and finally, the boy happily went home. Suraj too returned home with his friends, satisfied with having handled the situation responsibly.
