driver

i like to drive
its an understatement
i find peace when i drive
its probably the only time I'm in control of something
i feel free when i drive
i used to feel liberated when i used to take a left hander at 80kmph on a 7.8bhp 2 stroker with tyres skinnier than cindy crawford at her prime
i used to feel liberated when i used to push a diesel car to its limit at 120kmph..
it was about pushing the limits on a machine which is more or less subpar when you talk about actual racing speeds
i feel liberated, when i now drive aimlessly across the america...a colossal waste of oil, but if it makes me feel free, damn the future generations..
i can be myself when i drive
i dont feel like i'm being judged by hopeless ppl when i drive
i dont know how long this is going to last
i like being left alone when i drive
i miss sydney paul monteiro.. the perfect pillion rider
i miss my 2 strokers
i miss my samurai.. the endless hours spent on it, trying to make it go faster and better
i miss my shaolin.. the one proper stock bike i had which was way fast for its time..
i miss the roar of the 2 strokes
the most reliable company i had for the last 3 years is a civic
i feel safe in a civic
i used to feel safe on my 2 strokers
i pushed my luck on my 2 strokers
i push my luck on my civic

i'm alive

Things are definitely wrong when you realize that the citizens of the worlds largest democracy are coming onto the streets in support of a movement which defies the logic, principles, basics and whatnot of democracy..

Corruption is bad, granted and accepted.. But why wud u have to put a bunch of unelected citizens to monitor elected peoples representatives? Why elect them in the first place?

For even a small dosage of commonsense coupled with a little cynicsm will tell you that for a bunch who can never dream of getting into the corridors of power through democratic methods, resort to using the pent up anger of the working middleclass fuel their jumps over the whatever whatever they want to jump over.

Stopping corruption at the 'grassroots' level shud mean exactly that, weed out the lower levels and top level falls.

Shades of tyranny? I definitely see that coming..and in a not so saffron shade.. Who's to vouch for integrity of the members of the committe which's going to monitor the elected? We wud need a circuit lokpal to monitor the munna lokpal.. And who's goin to lokpal circuit?

Easy for me to say, stop fasting and instead stop giving your traffic cop chaipani kharcha..

Corruption isn't about only paying a bribe to get ur work done.. Its about everything we do to cut corners.. Missing a code review to get to the checkin faster-corruption.. Sneaking past ppl in a queue-qUeuestically corrupt.. Paying 500rs for darshan-faithistically corrupt.. Blabberland

Am I corrupt? Oh yes.. And instead of blaming the primeminister for it.. I choose not to be give into it..it..

Will lokpal solve rising food prices? Or bring down real estate prices?
All I can see it doing is to get a bunch of orange puppets put ppl's mandate out of commission..

Adios
I wish I was color blind

the beginning of the end

all good stories come to an end...wonder what happens to the bad stories..
there is a crazy notion that if you run fast enough, your mistakes dont catch up with you..under the assumption that your mistakes dont take a shortcut and beat you to the finish line...are mistakes really mistakes? or a set of occurances which are the right things in a parallel universe?
there is a clause about confidentiality, im not supposed to say few things which i want for the fear of being labelled a loser, or deemed that im just not good enough..
there is also another clause, never blog unless you are properly drunk.. your mistakes dont pop up glaringly off the screen.
