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!!

Busted wide open!!
Did you know that Google archives all your web search data.They never delete it from their archives,thanks to their cheap Hard drive storing capability.
They can pinpoint the exact content that you were searching,with your unique MAC id and bust you for anything.Just consider this information in the wrong hands and we are literally screwed.Why would they want to store so much data?
Their answer is that they want understand the requirements of the users and provide better customer solution.Hell yeah they do that,but they are bound by law to provide these informations to the local governments,I do not know,the extent to which they can procrastinate,but still this would be serious breach of privacy violation.Isn't? Why would I want anyone to store my search history and use it for any illegal activity.The most serious of them being,Identity thefts....

Flying High
I am claustrophobic,so any confined space looks a oven ready to bake me.The classic feeling that I pronounce ,is that i am not able to breathe properly,with my legs becoming restless and so on...
Coming to the topic in hand,airplane is in fact a tin can filled with lot of combustible substance ready to explode,with the slighest provocation.(that is how I view it).Recently,there was an article in BBC news website,that first time flyers in India do not know about the flying etiquette that needs to be followed.With guys like me,How the heck do they expect us to be calm in a combustible tin can.One guy tried to open the planes door,before taking off.I wonder what he must have been feeling.Nauseous?
My question is:Are the airlines trying to dampen the situation faced by these people.Everyone can come up with an answer of being understaffed !!!
If you by any chance take a low budget airline,make sure that you insure your life,cos it will come in useful not for you though,may be for your family....
I heard rumours that once a air deccan flight from banglore to chn had to go back to bangalore airport due to technical snag,that is not all,once the flight had a light show,with light switched off for ten minutes,without the knowledge of the passenger or the cabin crew ?
Life is precious and it should not be wasted on trifle matter.
