Have you done some stunts as a kid; jumping from the bed with a towel tied  around your neck!! I could do some stunts like skidding on my bicycle. Just happened to come across this video and seems like the kids are having great fun..

While reading Rathz' account of his train journeys, I couldn't help but remember another train journey that i had experienced I was in the first year of college. I had written about it long back on Rediff Blogs. As a matter of fact, this was how I started blogging, in the first place. And I am sure a couple of you have already read this one in the past. That's why I thought not to write about it here. However, thanks to Sakshi's coaxing, and the fact that Rediff Blogs is gonna close down any day soon, I thought I'd post a copy here too, as a part of Rathz' 'Chug Along' Series. Train Journey that changed my Life! [snipped and unimportant] I had come to Mumbai during the Durga Puja Holidays. [snipped] I was leaving for Jamshedpur, also known as TataNagar, by the Gitanjali Express on the 11th of October. I was supposed to travel with a friend of mine, Arun Prasad, who stayed in Lokhandwala Complex. Arun was supposed to board the train from Victoria Termin...

Your's truly i.e. Me, has been having quite a few close shaves with destiny/ fate or whatever else that you may call it. Yeah- life may not be super exciting. But yeah it has its moments. Shayon and I almost got caught in my bhanaas, that I give at home when I am out with him. It so happened that that I had to go to college on Monday, last date for filling the examination forms etc. And, well, Shayon got stuck in traffic, got late for work, thus, chucked office for the day. Yeah, that meant we could meet. So, I made the usual excuse back at home, that I am going to office from college (I have used this excuse before as well, and it works just fine); but I had forgotten a HUGE thing, that on that day my sister had her dance practise and her dance class is like 5 minutes from my office, so it was decided, that I would go pick her up from her class and come back home. (Simple straight plan, Shayon and I had decided, that we would go and pick her up) Both Sis and Me forgot, that the ti...

This was the most awkward situation I had ever faced with a girl. Last evening I had gone out with this girl for the 1st time. She has come for training in my company. She is doing MBA. Actually when we were around the XLRI area suddenly I realised my bike was not running properly. I said to the girl "if I say u that my bike has got punchered then what you will say".She replied please don say like this. But sach hamesha kadwa hota hai. My bike got punchered. To worsen the condition there was no mechanic around. The nearest place to get any mechanic was Bistupur or Sakchi. What next ? I was pushing my bike. But I tell u guys it was the best walk ever I had with any girl. She just kept on takin n talkin . She has got a great sense of humor. Then we went to Bru Beck. Our favorite bakery has been renewed now n we get many more things to eat . Very soon il put the pics. Till that time I didn repair my bike. I thought of gettin some energy after pushing the bike for some good dist...
