RoadSense lost to the ages

How many of us know?

If an oncoming vehicle blinks his headlights in rapid succession:
He wants to go first,so you should wait!

Do you switch on your indicator,not just for making a turns,but even for
changing lanes?

You should use your horn sparingly.Learn to use your headlights to indicate,
if you want to overtake.since blaring horns can distract other drivers.

So how do you teach other drivers regarding this.Having a license does not
credit you with knowledge as how to drive.

Check out this link on Safe Driving

It is not that "Speed Kills",but other drivers ignorance,causes these kills.
Either teach 'em,else start driving slowly,so you can react for any scenario :)

On a lighter note:Did you know,that you could be fined for spilling water on the
road(202 M.M.V.R 177 M .V. A ).That is news to me!!

Near Death experience

As I write this log,I am suffering from pain on both my hands,my right leg and left back .it is completely chafed.If I had not worn my helmet,may be some one else would have been writing my eulogy now.There is only one chip on the helmet and if my bare head would have been there,it would have been a catastrophe for me.

I thank God for giving me a life to live again.This is a second by second description of my encounter ( understanding the close texture of the asphalt) with out hype.I was riding my bike behind a lorry in the GST road near chrompet.out of no f*** place comes this auto between me and the lorry.This guy was trying to cross the road from the opposite lane.Trying to avoid him,I moved left,but to no avail,that guy also moved fast and bang hit the front of the auto from his left.I slid along with my bike and was thrown like 18 to 20 meters with my bike from the point of collision.

The next thing I knew was,I was standing up and shouting at the guy as to,where the heck did he come from?

The the real pain hit me,when most of them came and looked my helmet and said,that I should have been a goner.They did not expect me to wake up from the road after a collision like that.The Helmet saved my head.

After all the argument,nothing panned out,anyway I was in pain,just parked my bike on the side of the road,took an auto and reached home.

Damages on both side:

Auto: A dent on the left side.
Broken headlight.

Would you believe,it he was asking for me to pay up for the headlight.
He should be happy that I did not press charges...

My Bike:

My leg guard is pasted to the engine on the right and left side is
looking towards the right
The rear brake came lose from its fixure and is completely twisted as
heap of rubber.
My side mirrors are not there.
The leg rests on both sides are like below the bike
Ofcourse one or two indicators dunnot for sure are missing.
Handlebar looks like it went to a rave party.
The chasis to hold the leg rest is broken into two on impact,you could
see the actual place of stress.
other cosmetics damages are again in this huge list.

I think,once the mechanic has a look at it,I would know,the price that I would have to shell out.Have to check with insurance company,if they would cover this without a FIR.

I think ,this is a small price that I have to pay for being a speedster.But I have not yet started to enjoy life.... :(

U could be wondering,then why am I writing this now,shouldn't I be in bed.Yeah,even my mom is saying that,but I have kill time and do something that help me to forget the pain.This does......

Anyway my advice to you,wear a helmet,it might not save your bike,but it would save your life!!Even though I did maneuver my bike correctly to avoid the collision,it was just not enough,else I would be writing about some other topic.

The only fact that haunts me now his:What would have happened,if I did not wear an helmet? It sends shiver down my spine,even to think about that.

Remembering My School

For no damn reason,today I am in reminiscence about my school days.Well this were my thoughts.I always used to fail like minimum two subjects for any given term.If you view my Report card,it would be easy to find failed subjects rather than the other.

Marked in Red underscores,my parents would have been really mad,that I did not study at all.Well to be frank,I really did not study,did not have a reason,to study also.A big bummer though.Must have been the class Bum.

Then the thoughts rumble towards my crushes,there were a lot.I think I was having crushes like morning coffee,some were intimidating though.But did not take a decision towards any relationship with any one of em,cos knew it was a complete waste of my time.Man did I have realization even at that age....

Nothin else came up from the memory archives.just failed subjects and crushes.Should I remember any thing else.People always say,the your school days are the hey days...But for me ,it was the college,cos for me the reason in college was pretty simple,don't worry about marks,but lay the foundation for your future.I did!!(learned how to think....)

I do not have any regrets,so I assume,that it must have been gud!! :)

I also remember the crush that I had in LKG .Do you believe that,I cud remember that.But also,I do remember the face of my teacher,who used to crack my knuckles for talking or playing pranks on others during class in LKG.

It has been fun,but life ain't like that forever,so need to hang on to the thread of determination and hard work ,to make my mark in the world and have fun at the same time.

Signing of ,as I listen to the song "The River" by Good Charlotte.Really good tune...

EriDay - Events as it unfolds

Just now came back from attending the Eriday...It was a blast ,may be not the entire occasion.We(as in me and my fnds...) reached the venue as usual late( just an hour late),it was planned though.We did not like much of the events organized for us,so we took a short hike to the beach enjoyed the fresh salty air

Two of my fnds even took a skinny dip,just for the fun of it.After wards,we reached the venue,to join the rest,by then the cultural events started....

The real fun began,once the BAR opened.I had like a can of beer,or a cup of wine (dunno for sure ),stood in the front line cheering the Ericsson community.man was it exhilarating?

After that booze,food,then booze gain,dunno remember as to how long this continued,until,they said,it was over.

Later,we carried our drunk(or claiming to be drunk ) fnd back to the car,drove to his house dumped him,drove another fnd of mine back to his house ,and then reached my house.

Damn Gud time spent,not for the booze,food, but for the time spent with my fnds!!

Thank u Ericsson for the Eriday.
