One Year ago

One year ago,yesterday I met with a horrible accident almost lost my life,saved only by the Helmet that I wore with the strap on! Still remember the auto that caused the accident and my blook soaked body after that ,screaming at the auto driver for his fallacious driving.My Bike got totalled and had to spend more than 6000/- Rupees for getting it repaired.

Can't describe the turmoil my family had to go through after that incident and me physically incapable for more than week ,staying in Bed all the time.It was horrible.Now I am in US doing my Master's.Ain't is really different.

Still miss my bike though,zipping through at speeds exceeding 80Kmph between cars,the exhilirating feeling is exhuming!!The only thing that came close to that was at the rollercoaster rides at the theme park recently.

Dude I was riding the rollercoaster daily to work!!.Was caught for speeding once though.I was riding at 90 at a 40 zone.Wow was it a sight for the cops ,they stopped my vehicle and charged me for over speeding.I was speeding cos I need to reach the bank before closing time to get my bank statement which I had to send to the university for my Master's admmission.Once the cops tried to stop me but they were to lazy to chase me that they just turned on the sirens to alert me,by that time I was like more than a 1 Km away from them.so they stopped their sirens and went to rest.I know this cos,I stopped my bike after that and waited If they would come,but no one did...This has happened more than once for me.. :)I assume I was tooo fast and that is the reason to.

How does that look now? Dunno !!! Well I am still reminiscencing about the events before and after the accident to under why it all happened? Doesn't make much of sense to me then and even now it still remains the same.

Most of 'em think that I was drunk at the time,well I wasn't!! How could I be drunk.It was just after swimming ,I drove back from the pool to my house and got caught in this haywire.

Well let me wallow in my thoughts for now.just wanted to post this before I forget about it for the next year.

Venting out,quite literally

Yesterday,myself, my roomies and other fnds went to a theme park for the ride of a life time.We went on a roller coaster,that is the longest in the world.If I remember the figure correctly it is about 4012 feet long.It was dramatic and there was this drop zone ride.It was awesome!!!.you travel at the speed of 72 miles/hour for 5 seconds.It lift u !!! quite literally....Now I know how MAVERICK felt.

The finale was called the volcano.You literally shoot out of a hole vertically in complete darkness.Imagine that!! and you do this ride at temperatures nearing 13 degree Celsius.You heart starts pumping like a rattler on a mission.It was awesome!!

Think about this for a moment.for more than 11 hours of roller coaster rides continuously (with exception to one ride,You can subtract that from my list)

It was really an awesome experience.If there had been any blockage in my heart,the pressure created yesterday must have been enough to unblock em.

Almost forgot one.Have u ever felt how ham feels when it's roasted over an open fire.Well I did it with security that I will not get burnt.Spinning 360 degrees that to five times continuously is nerve rackingly horrifying to watch and even more retarded to be part of it!!
