What the Brain Thinks

It was 7:30 in the morning of 4th March, 2017 at Chandni Chowk, Pune. 22 people on 18 rides set out for a journey of different sorts. I was also there, like a ghost among the 22 different souls. Thirty minutes into the start and I was thinking, 'Did I make a mistake joining this journey? Do I make some lame excuse and go back home?' This trip was definitely out of my comfort zone. I had been on road trips earlier (with friends) but never on an overnight trip with 22 strangers. It was difficult, for an introvert like me. I need time to mingle up and a day was surely not going to help create that bond. Plus, this was going to be my longest bike expedition till date. But then I thought otherwise, 'It was the trip that I needed not that I wanted.' And then I went with the flow. It was only a week before when I saw this post from Mysterious Rangers that I decided I have to go for this. So I started asking my friends, if they would like to join? And one by on...

Today I met with an Accident. Hold up. I'll narrate the entire incident. I was at the start of Aundh-Ravet road from Aundh side. The road begins with an acute curve, at which I usually bank the bike. For better understanding you can refer this map. I was riding parallel to an old rusty city bus. The bus was to my right and was moving in the curve. Now I reached to the front of the bus and glanced at the driver. I saw the child's foolish playfulness, as if he was wondering 'What would this little bike do if I steer right towards him?' And in a blink of an eye he did it. Time froze when the bus touched the bike. Two words were uttered. He said 'Oops', I said 'Fuck'. Time came back to normal and me and my bike were spinning like the wheels of Bat Tumbler. As I rolled in the air I was thinking of the many things I had planned to do, but had put it aside for later and then, Snap!! I was out of the thought process. Oh wait! I forgot to ...

Hey, it’s been a long time since I wrote a post. This weekend I had gone on a road trip so couldn’t find time and weekdays I’m just occupied with work, eat, sleep. So, here I am. Oh! This one is not about the road trip. We shall get there later. This one is just promotional. I was on BlogAdda a few weeks back, where I saw they were promoting Colgate. I don’t remember using any other brand my entire life so I thought even I’ll pitch in some thoughts. Writing promotional blogs has its own perks ;) I know I’m not supposed to tell all this, but why would someone believe me if I’m not honest. I am blogging my #ColgateMagicalstories at  BlogAdda  in association with  Colgate . Kids or even parents of kids, pay close attention to what I say next. These things might interest you the most. Colgate has got a new way to attract kids. They got Magical Space Stories in their new packs. Something like this. There are three different stories so go fast ...

This post comes few days late. I ought to put it the same day the incident happened, but then I procrastinate things and so it comes late. How could I have denied the one thing that defines me for a post. This is how I justify myself. There are somethings that grieve me about India and this incident is one of it. Not being anti-national (Felt I should clarify just so few bhakts and the so called nationalist patriots feel offended). Learn to take criticism India and improve on it (A suggestion from a low-key blogger). Now back to the event. It was a day in this week (don't remember the exact date), I was on my way to the office, waiting at the red light. Out of nowhere I start hearing the sirens wailing. I tried looking in the back from the rear view mirror to see what was coming or going. I was not able to see one so I presumed that it was on the opposite lane. After a while the siren grew louder and I could see in the corner of the mirror blue beacon flashing. I ...

After a week (5 days) long of working we all look forward to the Weekend . Few of us start our weekend from Friday evening, while others don't really get a weekend to chill (mostly due to extra work). Some of us plan out things over the weekend, the rest let things plan the weekend for them. There are party animals club hopping and there are lazy asses not leaving the bed. All in all, everyone has a different persona of the weekend. Even I had similar weekend preferences and they varied everytime. There were planned or unplanned parties/trips at times and also long sleeps with binge watching/reading at other days. This weekender was decided to be for sleeping and binge watching the entire Harry Potter series. Ya I have never completely watched any of Potter movies except for the first one. This was the plan so I could have some context in conversations with Potter-heads. Most of the plans fail and so even this one went flop when my roomie/friend/colleague/s...

TaDa... Failed again. Oh my shrill voice. Doesn't let me do the Mr. Bean TaDa... You do not know Mr. Bean? GOoo... I can't have a conversation with someone so boring. Royson is better than you in this matter. Oh! you have watched Bean. That's nice. Hope you better not be lying. I have not lied and so I expect honesty from your part as well. Cause, Honesty is the Best Policy. It's been 3 weeks since I have gossiped. I was thinking I will stop RoyLeaks. Oh God! It is so difficult.  You still thinking what RoyLeaks is?? I can see it on your face. Boss, HERE!! Go refresh your memory. Now back to where we left. Aaaa.... Where did I finish?? Was it about the smile at the new place or the last day parties? Oh yeah, now I remember. It was about the last days. Oops.. Did I say a little too much? Now do not think about the smile, its for some other day. Ignore that. I will come back to it later. Promise. Aai shapath . Yes, ignore, erase, format last 1 m...

I'm happy and I'm sad I'm funny and I'm mad Sometimes stupid, other times smart Thinking from the brain and the heart Sober for days or drunk for hours Empty minds or roaming in mars Love being alone And socialite to the bone Depending on the company I wear my mask This is me in 10 lines. And I don't always rhyme 😉 ‘This post is a part of  Write Over the Weekend , an initiative for  Indian Bloggers  by BlogAdda.’
