Today morning at around 11am I was riding a bike. I was on a quite a busy road with bicycles, rickshaws, and other slow moving vehicles alongside other fast moving vehicles. I was riding at around 35-40km/hr.

Suddenly a Yamaha Enticer zoomed passed me while I was riding a Hero Honda Splendor! Will u like it if someone goes by you in that way? I did not like it at all. So I picked up my bike`s a bit. Then I saw stopping to talk to a taxi driver. But that not a usual stop and he braked quite hard and came to a sudden halt.

I again reduced my speed and went on in a normal speed.

In my last post only I mentioned about the weather condition here in Kolkata. The weather condition was very rough and tough as there was no rain in sight. Along with high temperatures had prevailed high humidity also.

But……..

Yesterday evening there came a harsh thunderstorm! And rain!

I was playing with few junior boys in our locality. Suddenly the surrounding was was turned into a very dusty atmosphere. The trees were finding it hard to stay in its places. We could hardly see anything. But I decided that we must continue with our game of cricket and should enjoy this atmosphere.

Though we were very dusty, the junior boys agreed to stay on! We finished our game fast fearing that, it might start raining anytime.

And as we finished our game and were planning to go home, it started raining heavily. We all got drenched in the cool rain water and headed for our home in a happy mood!!!

BTW the most important thing is that the prevailing temp was brought down within no time.

LOL!!

During this time of the year, my dad, with a manager of our business goes out to invite the customers for an annual get-together. Its mainly a goodwill gesture after round the of conducting business. They mainly go to different districts of kolkata where our market is generally situated.

I only go sometimes, when I feel-like going just for the sake of driving! Coz I really love driving.

But this year was a different year till now.

It was made compulsory for me to accompany them!

Coz the driver did not turn up. Though he had informed us about his not being present.

In our country its not quite safe to leave the car parked on the roadside and go to somewhere. the car might be damaged - intentionally or unintentionally, it can be stolen, music system inside the car can be stolen, etc. So I had to go.

Yesterday I learnt so many things…

The learned about feotus, birth of the twins, triplets and the quadruplets. Then it followed by by heroic person named Rescroler or Rick who had help saved many lives in the 9/11/01 World Trade Centre attack, though he himself died in that attack. Then finally I learned about the manufacturing process of the world`s most advanced helicoptor- the Apache!

Now let me share my learning experience with you all…

The feotus story…

The National Geographic Channel showed 3 instances. In one a twin were growing up, in another there were a triplet and in the last one a quadruplet were growing up!

It showed the 4D scan pictures through which the doctors were monitoring the babies in the feotus. The way they were groing inside it.

I will only write it here in a bulleted form, because I am no expert here to describe the things which I had seen and/or learned.

How better one can celebrate the past year and welcome a new year? Well… the way I celebrated it this year, I am going to remember it for a long time I think.

Things started happening from Sunday(30-12-07) afternoon. I was called by few of my neighbourhood friend. I was repeatedly asked or rather requested to go to a picnic with them on 31st December, i.e, the next day at early hours of the day! It was really surprising you now, I mean when you are told about it only few hours before the scheduled departure. Anyway I told them that I will try my best to join them but did not give them any word.

Later on decided to go with the picnic, cancelling the tuition classes and other activities which I had planned for that day.

Well on last Tuesday I had an exam. The exam was for the license of 2-wheeler. What an experience i had on that day!

I had the learner`s license for around 4 months but couldnt get the time or oppurtunity to go for the test. The rule is that the learner`s license will be valid for 6 months and one can go on any day for the test.

The whole system is filled with fraudulent men and activities. One can hardly `pass` the `exam` if one does not have a middleman! They are the gods there. They dictate the activities there. People will infact laugh at you if you dont have a middleman!

Likewise even i had one!!! And he did everything for me.

Yesterday, after many days I thought of riding my dad`s bike. He has a Hero Honda Splender-the first model. Its a 100cc bike. A quite old horse, though quite fit for the job it carries out everyday.

So in the afternoon i took it out from our garage. Had a tough time starting it as the engine was totally cold. Kept on kicking it…. Then while going to the BSNL office, i met a friend, who was going for his tuition. We decided that first we will be going to the office and then we will roam and freak out!

LOL he actually decided to bunk his classes!!

So first we went to the office to submit few documents. But that was not be. We all know how efficient that company is afterall X(. I needed to bring other documents as well. So left the matter there. And decided to freak around.

Actually I have an exam for 2-wheeler license today.
