I was stabbed.

If it weren't for my well developed abs, he would have hit the liver.Like i said, the scan showed it missed by 1 mm.The hard muscle slowed the knife.And it is experience which has taught me you might break your hand if you hit someone that hard in the face.Hence jabbed eyes.

do you think your family is avoiding any conversation because they know why it happened??must be they don't want you to know the real reason...just a guess.did they file a complaint?
you said you are writing 12th that makes you too young to own a firearm.think of good folder.
happy that you are safe and admire your courage.

Skyman's, thank goodness you survived this vicious attack. Hopefully, the perpetrator will leave, but I'm sure you know that this may not be the case, so please be careful.

It is a sad aspect to human existence that some lessons are only learned by personal experience. You mention PTSD. You know soldiers often feel misunderstood, because those who haven't been through the experience and horrors of combat cannot understand what it is like and what it does to a person.

I do not think that will change, sad to say.

Skyman, wish you a speedy recovery and well done on your boxing part. Next time go for the nose and break it immediately. That's how I survived a mugging recently in Trivandrum near Techno-park. Thank god, I am practicing Krav Maga and now its been one year..It is the presence of mind and quick movement helped to save the day.

BTW, did you filed an FIR? if not you should do it with your parents and may be as you have mentioned the attacker was looking for your dad.
This will keep a lot of things simple and in future everyone will have a reference and police can follow and track them..
They may require your assistance to make some sketches of the attacker..

Keep us posted and take care man..

Did file FIR.Timmy is right.They just lectured me on the importance of having a career.And that everyone dies.What the hell? I know that.I have decided to not say anything of the matter to them.I find myself in the middle of sudden emotional outburts.Which was interpreted as rebelling.They also told me to be careful and vigilant.I just escaped death by doing that didn't i?.It wasn't zeus who did the saving was it?

DR JK, i do have a cheap folder, but don't think we can deploy knives or guns as quickly as a fist or a foot.Even with the adrenalin, i think it would be a little slower than a fixed blade.

I did not see his face at all.Which leads me to think he is a pro.granted, my attention was on his knife hand.

Get well soon!

What you did was very brave. Owning a gun or knife may not help in all cases if you don't have it handy. What you truly need is courage...and after reading what you did, you already have it in abundance!

You are a brave person for your age...what you did is truly remarkable..very few people would have shown such courage & presence of mind in such a stressfull condition..keep it up..buy a good folder and and if possible enroll yourself in a self defense/martial art class..keep yourself mentally and physically strong..and ya have a speedy recovery..

keep talking,
there may some fear of the front door etc, over come that, do not bother wasting your time in hating the man who did this, think about this, if some one talks alot about me good or bed then i am important to that person in some way. thus do not spend to much time in thinking about him, do something, it will not come easy, forgive the attacker. set him free from your hate etc, why i say this? it takes lot of courage and will power to forgive someone who has harmed you. some may take this as a sign of weekness, but let me assure you it is the strongest sign of strength that one can have,

do not worry about what people say to you, they in most cases do not know what to say, after all what do one say to a chap who has just been stabbed? understand that they do not understand you, and do not hold anything against them. you are going to experience some anxiety about the front door, door bell ringings, try to overcome this [ do not want you to punch some poor nappy sales man lights out]

keep posting

Dear Skyman,

As tough as it might sound, don't try to think too much about that incident. Not to say wish it away. But do not keep returning to the fact or relive that memory. Yes that you are made of steel internally and externally is beyond doubt, but let that be a learning experience. STAY ALERT AT ALL TIMES. It's relatively easy to attack someone mortally out in the open than in their houses. Gods willing (and politicians unwilling, if at all they are involved) that perpetrator will be caught in due course. But stick to your course of life - your sports and studies. That's the real fight, bro. The attack was to teach someone a lesson and have him and his family live in terror for whatever reason. Not living in terror is half the battle won. And get well fast and on with your life. Good Luck.

Hey Skyman...
Hats off to you, your courage & your presence of mind to react as you did on that fateful day.
I do get a feeling that as much as your family is going through a phase of shock & denial at what happened with you & indeed them, it is also a subconcious effort on their part to make you as well as themselves feel as 'normal' as they possibly can by just brushing off the incident as 'trivial'. This again is a valiant effort on their part to be brave or atleast potray the same to you but I am sure the demons are constantly haunting their minds as much as it is yours for answers & events & ground realities which led to this ghastly incident.
They as parents would have gauged by now how traumatised the incident has left you but in no way would they ever want this incident to leave a permanent scar on your psyche - hence it is understandable thier playing the "aaal iz well" card. Do not anger & in time try to forget it as a very bad dream.
Wish you speedy recovery.
All the best

Thank you all.I don't fear anything or hate anyone.My sudden loss of memory is alarming.Didn't get much sleep for the third night in a row.I was startled so many times the wound started to burn.

Can't sit for more than 15-20 min.
