Dubs...:)

I've always...avoided driving double seat...I never say no...if the other person is ready to drive my vehicle..and take me double seat..:)

Not that i just cannot manage the vehicle with an added person...im not totally confident of doing so, and if Im not..obviously the person behind is not gonna be either..:) and what when he/she asks you.."can you drive me home today"..for whatever reason...and u say "sure..but you will have to drive"...snap...he/she is worried now...am I gonna reach safely...!

It so happenned today, that this colleague's bike..just wasnt starting..and it being late...and I was available there...that was the best possible option he had. Right from the beginning I was tensed...he was tensed..:)
So much so, that usually hes quite talkative...when he drives me..hes always yakking..but today he sits so quietly, I almost forget someones there..except for the weight...and old vehicle...and pickup issues..:) I actually tell him...chill ya, you can talk...(I mean...talk bindaas...ur gonna reach home safely..today...:)
But..the funniest part....he talks only when we stop at a signal. He doesnt talk when im driving, which is in a way good...but he doesnt talk because he's scared..he'll fall...and I can make that out, coz he cuts short...discussions or arguments..:)
then when theres a small u-turn, no traffic really coz its late, hes worried if I can take that turn..lol...this was the best ride I've ever had...coz I was so amused at anothers fear...!!

This time pree’s tweets are going to show me the way J 22 nd December : 9:29 AM Aah.. Njoying.. Nw wating frnds to come to ma home!! We were on the way to banaglore, boarded a 9pm bus from pune. The bookings were done in advance but last minute hiccups are always there. The travel decided to change their pick up point without informing the boarders. Luckily dad was home early and ash and my baggage got a ride through the traffic jam at yerwada. We were panicking about the bus leaving but then were waiting for almost half an hour after the scheduld hour, for the bus to start. Anyhow we thus started our 14 hour journey to the city of gardens! Pree had prepared methichi bhaji (my request) and masale bhaat (my request again) for us. The bus reached majestic at around 12:30 or so, and we were to look for platform 17 on the local bus stand. Yeah, there platforms are not only for trains but also for buses. The bus service is pretty organized there. We were hunting our platform 17. We sp...

Weekend stories...

The weekend started with a bang...am going to get into details...coz..as Mohsin rightly mentioned...all the details he missed in his post will come here...:) The plan was in place...were to go to the Scream...clubbing... We were supposed to meet at Charuta's place by around 8:30pm...but as usual...we are always late...we left office at 8:45pm in the daemon's car. Now I know why people fear his driving...seriously...all he does is try and test his brakes...I mean if you can see a vehicle in front of you slowing down...you would also slow down right...but the daemon...will go as close as 100m zoom...and then apply brakes... Ok, whatever...we reached safely at our first destination....and no wonder i changed my vehicle...its much safer with Khyati driving..:) We went to the East Street Cafe..(well known as the bus wala resto..;). The place is nice...has a lovely ambience... We were looking for a place for the seven of us...and the answer we got is..but that place is a little priva...

Contrary to all reason...!

This is something...that is inconceivable...absolutely...unbelievable...I mean can you even think of an accident...affecting as many as 5 vehicles...and that too at a traffic signal..when the signal is red...???   I couldn't...I never thought about something like this...ever before...however, thanks to this flimsy experience...I have concluded that your never safe...even when you have halted at a red light..:)   Here's what happened...   At my fav spot (...yeah fav accidental spot..:D...)...nal stop...the signal where you turn towards Karnatak School... The signal is bright red...broad daylight...and not that it just turned red...its red say about 40secs remaining...to turn green A truck...in full speed....approaches the vehicles that were obeying the red light...and wow...what do we have....a sight worth watching... 5 vehicles in a row...damaged...(I cant understand...how fast the truck was that the collision spread to 5 vehicles in a column..!! whoa..!! ) Now...in Pune we alw...
