Collision course

As i noticed one or two posts in some blogs about Vespa scooter, this idea popped up in my mind to re-visit on paper all the accidents which should be termed mild collisions actually as i escaped with least injury every time !

I used to travel by bus 2 years back in the beginning of 2007 which was really very interesting as it was my only chance during the day to somehow come in contact with the general public with whom i had no relation of any kind. That was fine only for going office at the decided time every day, so i got this idea of having my vespa scooter from my parents' home.

As i am writing about collisions, the most significant ones are with the traffic police obviously ! It seemed to me throughout all these years that i am carrying some kind of indicator on my forehead that makes them recognize the culprit inside me at once. Mostly this happens on holidays as if its mandatory to register with the authorities every day in one way or another, thus i get myself registered in my home country as an employee on weekdays and as a law-breaker on holidays !



And for the real collisions i'll have to strain my memory and so this post is going to be published in parts for some time from now !


The worst accident occured on a rainy night when i was returning back to home ! Its weird but i never hang out at night and always trying to get home after my pre-planned program is completed, same was the case that day and i was driving my scooter like someone was about to rape me ! What happened that a man was trying to cross the road without looking in the direction of the coming traffic or maybe he didnt attempt to look much far to find me cruising at about 60 kms per hour ! Its still mysterious for me how i lost my control and fell from my scooter while the person himself escaped without any injury. I got unconscious for the first time in my life but escaped major injury once again !


Now in all the other accidents it was my scooter that suffered all the pain and got the souvenirs of the event ! I must confess that it has never complained till date, so i guess even vehicles fall in love with me after considerable period spent together !!

Finally a love interest for me !

Love is life - whenever i read this i wonder what's wrong with me ? It has always been a mystery for me how people fall in love, and even today i haven't made any significant breakthrough towards solving it. I have witnessed many Valentine's days during my college days. I could see girls and boys wandering around the Campus with Pink roses in hands and rosier feelings in their hearts but never was lucky enough to behold the magical moment (as in love stories and romantic movies) of proposing the opposite sex. You would say I was just unlucky but i think there was an international conspiracy to save me from the fool's paradise called Love.

Anyway, its the same indian society around me as we are passing through 9th year of 21st century. Its a rainless monsoon evening and i am as lonely as ever at my residence trying to write about my current love interest -SMOKING !!

Shocked, aren't you ??!!!

(i think i should let the shock feeling sink in for a few days, then i can get you to the place where love is in the air.. oops i mean smoke dances in the air surrounding me !)

One more week passed, our affair has already reached its peak of intensity. I want to kiss her as soon as i get out of bed every morning. Actually i betray my sleep to romance with her on most of the occasions.
