For me it just works.. nething and everything is fine when I am riding a bike.. my head starts working. I can think-out anything and my mood just HAS to get better.
I am not someone who can enjoy sitting behind someone.. I tried it a couple of times and I keep irritating my riders... yelling at the tiniest thing possible.. I sumhow cant trust the driver...am perhaps the worst kind of pillion rider dat can be. Ironically, I always have had SUPERB pillion riders, perhaps only when I was riding in Bangalore I was just alone most of the time.. Swetha (my navigator), KC, Manideep, Monali, Murali.. kireeti.. and my roomie Deepthi in TVM. All of them are SUPER.. the guys from college.. were always glad they dont have to ride, I could quickly go get movie tickets :P. Also, I could manage to do all the college fest work or anything without ne other help.. :P
Today was a lil special, I have been trying to get to the beach in the night here but the traffic here on the highway to the beach is a little crazy and the city sleeps early here. Pondy beach was AMAZING during the mid-nights but back then I had a gang, company for drives and to hang out. One day, on the East Cost Highway between Auroville and Podycherry, I was out of petrol. Me and my fast driving, I left the grp and was way-ahead/behind, for some reason there was no pillion with me. Drunk truck drivers... people gawking at me from cars and vans... and I stopped a bike rider coming along. Those were the days when phone charging was not possible due to very little power availability, so since I could not call my friends immediately and I was not sure if they were behind me or before me.. I stopped this bike guy.
Huge guy typical Tamil looking, lungi.. dark.... riding on a pulsar kinda bike. I told him I was out of petrol. I was waiting for some kinda help from him, perhaps he has an empty bottle, was also pushing my luck for him to get me some petrol. I was playing the alone-girl-stuck-at-mid night card. He just dint say anything, was just looking at me in a weird taken-aback way. That was when I understood, he was scared!! LOL.. he freaked.. the guy freaked like anything, I am in Pondicherry, it is like the Goa of east coast. There are foreigners everywhere there, Auroville is like an Indian-phoren. Many people around here are the ones who ran away from their mother countries to take a refuge here. (DISCLAIMER: Auroville is SO SO SO much more also.. this is just one weird angle) So, loads of ppl here get mugged and a LOT of nonsense happens, Indians visiting from the rest of India do it and also the foreigners too. LOL.. this was it.. in the guy's perspective who bechara... a localite I think, thought .."a girl... alone, non-local, in the middle of the night..is stopping me.. there MUST be a plan.." He just looked like that for a few seconds and left. I was laughing as soon as I comprehended that, but the next car of people who gave me weird looks sobered me up, I just waited till Raj (one of my best frds now..) came along laughed and said... "u girls can never calculate fuel requirements.. .Get lost I am not going back..." nakhre..saala...! Neways... he just went and got the petrol and I got to my room sat down in the aangan after I checked there were no snakes around... wat a day it was back then. :)
Today was special too. I really wanted to go in the night to the beach, but here its a little more risky as the traffic is a little scary. Also my roomie a little freaked out to go out at that time. I could brave it alone, but no back up if anything goes wrong. SO... the maximum I could push it is upto 7 PM, so that I can atleast return by 10 or so, I started around 6:30PM and YES I went to the beach when it was all dark and it was beautiful. There are people on the Pondy beach always... (there is a 24X7 cafe there..SUPERB menu..g8 ambience do go if u r around) But, here its all empty and stuff... so it was AMAZING. We had to come back as some guys started ganging up.. there were 2 guys initially.. then 3 then 6... and only THEN they had the balls to start the nonsense of saying.. "hello.. " etc etc.. LOL.. i was laughing in my head but my roomie... darling totally freaked.. so we had to come back. I think I was waiting fro em to really bother me so that I could again get back at them... I was SO in the mood to take punga wid a few dumb guys... y does breaking up wid a guy make u think of every other guy like assholes..? .. i mean these ppl were.. but my gussa was not for em. :P
While coming back I was thinking of all these incidents.
Funny life is!
