Gotta write it down …. I gotta write it down.. Something like memento.. only less refined, less artistic, less intriguing, more raw …. And better than GHAJINI …
Anyways, folks who say alcohol dulls one’s responses need to get their licenses renewed … and this is on the basis of empirical evidence …. 4 drinks down, taking a 60 degree upward (incline of 15 degrees) curve at 80 kmph, halfway into the curve, fully committed with the right knee pointing to the road, right butt butting out of the bike, you come across a generous splash of water …. You can see it glinting in the distance, like the speck of a star in a starry night … as u ride up the curve, u see more specks, then some more specks, and then some more specks and suddenly it’s a fuckin spectacle….
So you don’t straighten up… that would be foolish .. and a recipe to dine with the roadie cockroaches … u ease off the throttle, reduce the angle to maybe 25 degrees, DON’T brake, reposition the posterior so that less of it is hanging off the seat and glide over the catchment area ….not so difficult eh ?
I know I would have done exactly the opposite had I been sober.. coz a sober mind over calculates the risks, and under calculates the rewards … its like a value investor who over emphasizes cash in the bank ignorant of the fact that the cash might be not even worth the keyboard it was typed with ….
Bottomline … I had a fuckin awesome drive ….
