Events of a fortnightOk Let me summarise the events of the fortnight
*****Police man on my back
*****My heart break over an old Infatuation
*****Rocking at JRO

Policeman on my backOn the 26th I went to the railway station to send of my friend S who was joining infosys in hyderabad.Me and the gang were in 4 bikes and we waved him off .It was a very emotional moment for me.Me and S had grown up together.The next day was my birthday and it would be the first one i would be spending without him.Anyways I was happpy for him getting a good job.I took the beach road to return to my place.We spent about an hour at the beach.Man was it bad.I had inadvertently moved into the lover's corner of the marina and what did i see? only couples and no one else.Added to that two guys with me were on the phone with their girl friends.Man was i depressed.Ok after that we started and passed through santhome.There was a big traffic jam due to the fact that it was a saturday night.Some how i squeezed in between all the vehicles and was moving ahead.I had crossed madhyakailash ,there was big jam.I noticed a police man in his big fiero ,yellow brigade bike.Somehow my attention was on him,call it some kind of remonition.After that i didnt see him for a few minutes.Then the traffic started to move.I started to zoom ,i was moving ahead when the guy before me suddenly stopped ,i couldnt control my bike and i hit him .I look upto
see who it was.To my horror i realise it is the same police man.The fact that i didnt have my license with me petrified me.My friend sitting in the pillion said sorry to him and asked me to move ahead.I knew that a mere apology wont do.I zoomed ahead finding all the narrow gaps that i can and was racing ahead.I was nearing 100s ,the police man was following me with his siren on ..man was i terrified !I kept pushing the pedal ,i crossed the iit ,i thought i might crash into someone so i slowed down making up
my mind to face any consequences.The policeman came near and beckoned me to stop.My heart stopped for a moment and i stopped the bike.My friend who was a policeman's son now took over.He gave him a salute the way the policemen do and apologised.The police man cooled down and he said he will look for any damage and if there was one we gotta pay.He looked at his bike and seeing no damage,advised us to drive carefully and letus go.I was shocked .i expected a lot more to happen.That policeman must be most
patient man in the world or must have been drunk.Or was my friends salute doin the trick.
At home in the bed i thought what it would have been to spend my
birthday in the police station.Then i was really scared.Since the next day
was my birthday i should tell what happened the next day.As usual boooze
for the guys and sweets for the family friends.

Heart break over an old Infatuation


This friday the 2nd ,i was searching my friend's girl friend's brother who had run away from his home due to some stupid reasons.We were searching all over my place and we got fed up with all the options running out.Then me and N sat on a roadside culvert saying we werent going to move an inch until we had a fag.By the time N was playing with my mobile.He saw R's name and asked me are you still in contact with her.I said a sortof.He said why dont you call her.I was apprehensive,I hadnt called her in
years.I remembered the days when i was madly in love with her.call it infatuation call it puppy love it was most exciting period of my life having her around.She was a dear friend of mine above all.I never told her that i loved her.If i am gonna put up all my emotions that will take the whole blog.I will tell you what happened A proposed to her before me and she said yes.A is one person in life i hated before and after that i hated
him more.R never told me of this,I learnt it from A letter.R moved out of our place after a few years.I had not talked to her for quite some long time except on a few occasions when she called on a relative in my place infrequently.So N's idea of calling her didnot enthuse me.Anyways i just called up .She was returning from office it seems ,i said hi and she replied .Then the shock came ,A was with her it seems and he grabbed the phone from her and asked me "hey i have a mobile for a year and you havent
called me but suddenly you are calling her as soon as she got a mobile,dont you have girls in your office,dont talk to her anymore".One more thing A knew my attraction towards her .I was so shocked ,i immediately hung up.My friends around me saw the reaction on my face and asked me what was the issue and i told them the fact.Every body got so angry and started their bikes an go meet A.I said cool down,its nothing.secretly I hoped R would call me up and apologise for A's behavior.It never happened.Though ididnt show it i was very upset.Couldnt she have called me just for old times sake.I was not able to sleep and i went upstairs and switched on the system and played the winamp,one of my favorites suddne;y came up ,Airsupply's someone and the first few lines made me more sad
"When you first found love
Was it all that you wanted
For a thousand lonely years
Was the memory so sweet"
It certainly was for me.But what can i do when she is some one else's girl
Rocking out JRO
It was party time saturday.I went to spencer's with AM to buy an electric guitar and couldnt find the shop.There was this hsop called tansen long time back.I had found another shop and learnt it was closed some time back.There was not a good piece to buy ,so left spencer's.Me and AM went to the chateau D ampa on Nelson manickam road and bought the tickets for the june rock out ,strange it is happening in july.We were
a little early and were hangin out .There were 3 bands playin that day red rain from newzealand,garage monsters from chennai and bhayanak maut from mumbai.The show started around 6.30 and before that i met a few old and new acquaintainces.one was RK who learnt guitar along with me years back and V who was working in office wit me now.Red rain started the show and played their own comps.After a few songs they asked the crowd to sing the national anthem which the crowd boisterously agreed.After we finished
red rain sang the newzealand national anthem.And few songs later they asked 5 people to come on stage and dance and said the winner would receive a cd signed by them.2 persons went up and then to my surprise V went up and danced,but he didnt get the cd.After red rain ,the garage monsters took over with metallicas sandman very popular in this side on
the world and man they played good .they played for an hour and after that bhayanak maut took over and there was more headbanging to do..
Me and AM started at around 10.15 from the jro center.AM was driving like hell .100s and 110 and zig zagging .I was frozen,i had never been on the pillion at such speed ,may be driving not definitely sitting behind.I prayed that we reach home and we reached home around 11.00 .God was i happy to be home.
