There are many small things in life which we used to keep unnoticed and does not bother to care about. But they are very useful and alwsys help us from time to time. Recently, while washing my two wheeler I noticed, my scooter have a First aid kit provided. But eventually I never ever knew about it nor ever comes to make use of it. It is similar to car, and home. I think every home have their First Aid Kit, ready to take care of emergency. Infact, while we go on travel or for any outing we always carry along a First aid kit to take care at times of emergency. First aid kits are used to provide immediate medical treatment for minor injuries and emergencies until professional help arrives
