Where the motive is an afterthought !!!

There are certain times when you just do things that are sometimes beyond some people’s logical comprehension. There is one such thing that I do and boy it’s a real thrill !!!

And I recommend this to you all:

I go to the Airport road in Bangalore. There just after the Domlur fly-over, there is a stretch of the road, before the Leela Palace Hotel. Stand there near TGI Friday and watch the traffic. The next thing that you need to do is to slowly make your way to the median divider which separates the two-way traffic. Just stand there and watch the high speed traffic zip past you. You have to hang over one leg on that divider as there is no space to stand. So virtually your face will be brushing past the on-coming vehicles.

Once you have had enough churn inside your stomach, make your way to the middle of the road. And STAND THERE !!! yes, stand there, bang in the middle. Trust me the adrenaline rush that you feel up your spine is the best thing in the world. The drivers of the vehicles will be shouting and cursing you to no end… but just smile at them and maybe even close your eyes. H a! ha ! ha ! …
Do not spread you hands like Jack and Rose did in Titanic. The fun is in the air brushing your forearms and making your shirt sleeve flutter like a crazy old woman throwing a fit !

Stand there and feel the fear, the anxiety combined with the relaxed, carefree sensation enveloping your self. Each one of us will feel differently and so there is nothing that I can describe more about the experience that you would relate to.
Wait, its not over yet….you gotta go to the ‘ Corner House’ for a Black Forest cake with vanilla ice cream and hot chocolate sauce after this. Nothing better to calm your nerves after the pulsating encounter on the roads. I always wonder why fire or the wheel is considered to be Man’s best invention… My vote always goes for ice-cream.

You can try this in some high speed stretch near where you stay too. And now for the boring part … This is highly dangerous and my broken face and limbs are testimony to that fact. Although I was lucky enough to escape with minor injuries, yet there is a conspicuous threat to your life if you are performing this exercise. So only people who do not care much for their lives, ppl who think that the world will not lose much after your death, or those who think that your death would not matter much to anyone… only such ppl can try this. But the idea is to have sensational fun and yet be alive to come back and do it again. And of course to eat that heavenly ice cream in the best ice cream shop – The Corner House ( especially the Domlur one).

Its an impulse and it will remain that for me. There is not much thought that goes into this act. You just go out there and do it. Do it if you think that you were used by this world for its own gains but left you bereft of your own self. But this is the best way to get back at the world – do things that are unimaginable for normal ppl and stay alive to tell the tale ! Sick thinking na ? I know ..Lolz ! But we are digressing….

The bottomline is – Just go out there and do it if you do not care a bit about your well-being and the world also agrees to your this thinking ! :-)
