Friday i was stuck in this traffic jam..easily the mother of all traffic jams... a 6 km ride took me just over two hours..and to boot it it was raining all the time.. So i am on the road locked in between a million vehicles..and its raining..bad state of affairs?.. maybe not..Just a matter of perception maybe..
I did not have anything urgent that needed to be atended to..so just decided to enjoy myself..When you try this the jam actually gets interesting..you get to see all sorts of people..there were these i-HAVE-to-be-home-right-now types honking away to glory.. this resulted in raising the tempers of other motorists..and the hurry-burry types just had to stay put after a few choice abuses were hurled their way..
Then there were the generous ones.. who would let the other hurry-burry ones pass.. and then the ones who were on the phone with god-knows-who.. just yakking away like it was home..
Then there were the types like me with a song on their lips and just enjoying everything..Imagine i even had a couple of nice conversations with total strangers.. we discussed how the roads have got choked.. and just general stuff about weather..I even got the chance to hold a conversation with an auto driver..without either of us trying to out-scream each other!!!
To boot this..at one of the junctions..a kinetic pulls up next to me..i could make out that it was a girl..and then she honks and calls out to me.. surprise..surprise..its an old friend of mine..the last i had seen her was when at her marriage!!
We spent the next three or so Kms just talking..we were still in the mother-of-all-traffic-jams!!
Was pretty nice to catch up after so long..and in these surroundings..and i guess this would be the last time i was going to see her..she would be going away to the US with her hubby for good..and in a couple of days that too.. We could not say our good byes though..Somehow lost out on each other at the end of the jam..
So..who says Traffic jams have to be boring..huh??

I'm on the road again....
Yesterday morning when i reached home.. i could not stop grinning for quite some time..I had a lot of fun working the previous night..and was done by around 6:0 in the morning.. which is pretty early considering my normal working hours... So there i was all bright and early..and wasn't really in the mood to go home so early.. so what do i do? I take a loong route home..
So to reach indiranagar from Richmond circle..which is about 6 km and a 10 min ride in the early morning traffic..I went all the way to Jayanagar..then went on to Koramangala..and then took the ring road back home...
You would think that the roads are so empty and good opportunity to set land speed records..but that was definitely not the case.. the roads were infested with all the morning joggers/walkers/oglers..etc..and most of them were on the road rather than the footpath.. their way of getting back at the motorists i guess!!! And one of the corners i nearly went into one of them enthusiastic guys..that should count as a good deed for me..his day could only look up from here!!!
The good thing was that the morning health-concious-janta also included a lot of bangalore's PYT's..that was a nice way to start the day..
Sadly i could not devote a lot of time to pursuing any ..and before you get any ideas..any of the other roads in the vicinity i mean..and simply went on to the ring road..here somehow the joggers/walkers/oglers stuck to the footpaths...so enough clear space to just rip.. pretty ironical that i was planning to do a lazy ride home..but seeing a clear no-obstancle road is too much tempation..

PINK FLOYD..
I am rediscovering this band.. had heard lots of their songs before..but hadn't really paid a lot of attention to their lyrics.. Now i am practically hooked onto their songs.. Incidentally i have a CD with ALL their songs on it..and have been actually travelling with it everywhere..I have been taking it out on my rides too..am also shuttling it between office and home :)
Like all things my fav songs also keep changing (evolving??)..So initially it was "Coming Back to LIfe" This song had a strange appeal to me..the first time i listened to this song i could picture this highway stretched into the distance.. where i could see the road for many a mile ahead..and even knee-length-yellow-grass fields on both sides..and dusk setting in slowly.. as a biker..that scene is nothing short of pure bliss..
Next on the list was "Learning to Fly"..another awesome composition by them..This too somehow fell into the "biker song" category..and am all gaga over the lyrics..
..and now i found"Lost For Words"..In the last week i must have played this song at least a 100 times..yesterday i had this song playing in loop mode for about 3 hours straight!!The lyrics and the tune are just so transcedental..
I was spending my time in the doldrums
I was caught in a cauldron of hate
I felt persecuted and paralysed
I thought that everything else would just wait
While you are wasting your time on your enemies
Engulfed in a fever of spite
Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades
Like shadows into the night
To martyr yourself to caution
Is not going to help at all
because ther'll be no safety in numbers
When the right one walks out of the door
Can you see your days blighted by darkness?
Is it true you beat your fists on the floor?
Stuck in a world of isolation
While the ivy grows over the door
So I open my door to my enemies
And I ask could we wipe the slate clean
But they tell me to please go fuck myself
You know you just can't win
..I have been warned against listening to too much of the floyd "psychedelic" stuff..but just can't help it..and yes there is definitely nothing to beat Floyd on my discman while on my weekend biking trips ..at least for now...

The Nigerian Casanova!!!
This is going to be a little long.. so if its not coffee break time yet.. then see ya later.. and if this is your Coffee break time..read on.. oh and i am not resposible if your coffee spills on your desk/clothes/book-you-are-pretending-to-read..as a result of all the laughing you are gonna do for the next few minutes.. and not to mention your neighbours looking up the local asylum's number..listenng to your i-am-trying-to-supress-my-laughter laughs....
So, here's the background.. I have this friend called Sajith, who has been on-site in Nigeria for a pretty long time..so this has actually been fodder for us lesser mortals living in more civilized parts of the world.. It so happenend that Sajith was pretty bored and with the aim of cheering up people with similar sufferings..he sent us all a mail which spewed a lot of spite against women!! So, us caring people(read friends) sent our thoughts on what led Sajith to such measures..
Here is what went on in the mails.. Sajith did get in his two bits every once in a while..So..here goes..
=====
Lets suffuce it to say that Sajith started off with this female-bashing maill..which if he was maried would have ensured the couch for him till the next time the martians came visiting....
===
Sajith
U are sounding so much like a poor harassed husband!! Has
something gone wrong? Hope u haven't been forced into marrying a
Nigerian woman so soon!!! U are talking about big girls , fat girls and
round shapes!! EVERYTHING FINE? OR DO U NEED SOME HELP?
BYE
Ranjani
=========
So Sajith .. how are the "babes" in Nigeria. not a happy experience I
gather from all the fire spewing out of your forward. Well, they are a
little hard to get used to i guess. But do not give up man..stay at it
and who knows you may leave your mark( read offspring) on our
neighbouing continent:)
Even if all else fails.. you always have home to look forward to..what
with the mails like the one below hollering out hope to you...
All,
Comments & thoughts on Sajith's African future invited.Let's make
this a discussion forum..at Sajith's expense of course... And Sajith,
hope you don't mind ..and if you do, then hope you find solace in the
arms of one of your Nigerian friends..
Regards,
Sumanth
========================
GREAT ONE SUMANTH. I ONLY HOPE SAJITH SPARES ME WHEN HE RETURNS;-)))
BUT , I AM IN FOR THE DISCUSSION FORUM.
SORRY S....
WE JUST WANNA MAKE UR TRIP MEMORABLE AND ENSURE THAT U DON'T MISS HOME
AND FRIENDS. ;-))
BYE
RANJANI
===============================
Hello Sajith
Hey Sumanth that was a nice one:)
I am sure Sajith would find solace in the arms of the nigerian friends I dunno how many :)
So sajith how is it goin buddy
Guess we would soon have a discussion forum:)
This is enable us to get updates from u buddy:)
Jayant Mehta
====================================
How come I still don't see Sajith's reply...
His Nigerian " Lady" must be keeping him pretty busy:)
let's hope he is still in one piece...
And Sajith, do let us know your date of arrival..I guess Ranjini,
Jayant and I will have to get as far away from Bangalore as possible,
to avoid being mauled( or worse things) by you and your " Babe from
Africa"
sumanth
===================================
Aha...............so U're looking for my reply huh? Try to throw in some laughs with that mail in ur otherwise boring life and you wash me with comments and hang me out to dry.
Well, well I'll be back someday............so U better decide how many pieces U wanna be in then(I'm talking to U Chummi.....and C and Jay). And whats with the forum.......whats this........something like an ED Sullivan show or somethin' with the topic being me? ARE U JOBLESS? People get back to work and let poor old me find a way to survive in this wilderness.............U ought to be praying for me - NOT, and I mean, NOT let ur comic sense go wild.
AHEM, atleast stop forwarding ur remarks to everybody in the LIST, for Pete's Sake -
I GOT A REPUTATION TO PROTECT!!!!!!
Sajith
====================================
Great going guys. We have finally instigated Sajith to reply!! THREE CHEERS TO US – FOR OUR EFFORTS;-))
As for u sajith - First get back to India and then then dream abt laying your hands on us.
Till then,
Jungle mein mangal karo.;-)) (DIN’T GET IT?) I don’t expect u to either;-))
Bye
Ranjani
==============================
Ranjani I think u got it wrong it isn’t Jungle mein mangal karo but Jungle mein MINGLE karo. Must be doin this already!!!!
--Nikshep
========================================
So Sajith, now that we have got your attention, I think our efforts
are going to double..no triple..:)
All this while I was thinking that this would be just firing shots in
the air.but now that we have a target, we are loading up man...
And by the way, why do you think our lives are boring?? How can it be
boring with your african wildlife experiences to explore and
anatomize...
Well I guess it might be boring compared to your safari life
there,what with all your nigerian "babes" and unexplored
"territory"... So how many lions/tigers/cheetahs have you dealt wih
already..or do they also assume you to be part of the landscape
already...:)
And don't think we are not praying..we too have noble souls..we are
definitely praying..even if it is for al those poor "unexplored"
Nigerian "babes" ....
Sumanth
P.S: I have already taken out an insurance policy against my
name..so that after Sajith returns my family can get some monetary
benefits from this . Anybody else intersted can contact me....
========================================
Hey guys...
Well Im all ready to get into the forum...No forums I ve seen are as interesting as this.
Hey Nigerian Casanova...(atleast he'll be in a few days)...so howz the junglee life?and this forum is not making it any better isnt it..
And guys dont worry abt Sajith coming and bashing up...He is an average Indian Women built ..Only u shud be scared of any of his Nigerian Babes...!!!and u know why!
Sundi Enjoy!
Ranjini
=================================
WHAT!!!!!....................YOU......................Average Women Build??
Why you ^%$^*@!@?~&................
Ohhhhhhhh.....................you just wait till I return..............................
--Sajith
==========================================
Chill Sajith
Enjoy ur stay there. Take ur own time. There’s no hurry to return. We are having enough fun this way itself.
Did u realize that there’s an entire ARMY against you. U are no match for the TROOP buddy!!!
Bye
Ranjani
==============================================
this is so much fun.............
AVERAGE WOMAN BUILT....................LOL......................
where did that come from mots.............too good..................
good going guys.........................will join u soon!!
Regards,
Abbas.
=====================================
Hello Buddy
Hey even if u return u aint gonna change u would still remain the avg womens height buddyJ
Yeah that diff. u could find a better match thereJ
So have u explored the jungle and have u mingled:P with the African guys:P
I am sure u would have opened a fan club already ……………….lots following u:P
Have fun J
Jayant Mehta
=============================================
So Sundi,
u guess u prefer African GUYS with rOund shapes...yeh????
awe..:0
Priya Goel
====================================
Macha it is AVERAGE INDIAN WOMEN HEIGHT...Dont u think so...we always had a n argument for that.
Also the person who can get sundi angry the most is going to win an KENYAN SAFARI well sponsored by ofcourse sajith..
see for the starters ...I cud make sundi go red in the face with anger!!
Sajith buddy chill...
Ranjini
=======================================
Hey Priya, Thanks for the new angle to the issue. I had completely
overlooked the Nigerian "men" angle..what with the whole "babes" stuff
going on...Your dating chances must have doubled overnight man.. so
tell us about your dates...
must be a cosy threesome:)
Imagine sajith and his mates..swinging in the jungle nights..without a
care in the world..not even bothered about those bugs crawling
everywhere..
And like Ranjini said..there is no hurry in coming to india pal...I
guess it is a few months away now anyway..by then we would have packed
up this forum and started a condolence/consoling forum in your name...
Ranjini,,by the way did you know that the average Indian Femae height
is only 5.5 feet.. and guess which of our friends qualify for this....
Sumanth
===================================
Hey , the Kenyan safari looks very promising.but that would put s in
risk,,what with the proximity to Nigeria..Lets look for something more
Medditerranean,,,we might as well make good use of Sajith's money..we
don't want him to waste it after all...He IS our friend...
Hey,,and Sajith's face would not be the only red thing he has right
now..I heard those Nigerians are pretty well built...
Sumanth
=======================================
Hey guys...have things cooled off with Sajith or am I out of the mail
chain.?????
Waiting with bated breath,
Sumanth
===========================
Things can never cool off when the "OBJECT OF INTEREST" is Sajith.
Whatta say S....?
By the way Sajith, whats up there? U seem to be very involved in/with
something/someone? U aren't even replying to our mails???
RAnjini
============================
Also Sajith, Speaking for all of us, fillus in on life in Nigeria.
How is the place..Are the peope friendly...or is it like how it is
seen in those african Safari movies..
We all seem to have such antique ideas of Africa, the same way , I
guess that others view India..cows on the road..Elephants for
transport..etc,etc..
Do fill us in man,
Sumanth
======================
Hey Sajith why u so silent dude??? U Dont like us pulling ur leg? Man u
must be Happy coz atleast by pulling ur leg u might gain a couple of
inches & surpass AVERAGE INDIAN WOMEN HEIGHT....Lol
Nikshep
============================
So sajith found any companions in the jungle and did u mingle with any:)
I am sure u would have fund a lot many of ur kind there:)
No mails from u at all.......................looks like u building ur club n bzzy with that.....not a problmeo we guys shall wait to hear from our "LOST "Nigerian Buddy!!!
Jayant
==========================================
I see.......everybody's jumping into this 'Sajith Bashing' bandwagon, huh,.........Well its not everyday that you people get a chance like this so I have decided to sit back and remain passive...(Ohhh...........how much I hate ye all)........
By the way.thanks for branding me as an 'Object Of Interest' though for the wrong reasons.....Gotta be honest C.me still wondering if you can be of any interest at all :-)
As for U Priya..........I AINT HANGING AROUND WITH GUYS HERE.........Never did all my life!!! AND THATS IT...no more arguments on that. Hey Mots...........U think u got me red in the face huh..........well tell ya what.........bask in ur glory as much as you want for it aint gonna remain that way for long.........
Jay, Chummi..think you've scored over me huh?.........dont get me started with that club shit!!!!.................better be concerned and find some place to hide for I'll BE BACK.
And Abu.what the hell?.................U think this is so much FUN. Well, I think NOT. And Niks........talk about mice gettin brave when the cats aint around.
PS...Isnt there anybody who wanna stand by poor ol' me.........Please , please there should be somebody in that rogue group my so called 'pals' who has some sympathy for me..........
Sajith
===============================================
FANTASTIC SAJITH. BUT I FEEL, U CAN DO STILL BETTER!!!! ;-))) ANYBOBY WITH ME???
Ranjini
========================
Is that so, C? Well, thats normal isnt it?...........But I aint trying any harder for I think I'm doing just fine. And why wouldnt people be with you especially when you are in the middle of something as interesting an activity as 'DIG YOUR PALS GRAVE'!!!
Hey, by the way, I thought someone wanted to know how things were here at Lagos.........well.....things here are just fine........wish I could send details across to you all but you know............ye people have kept me so busy reading your mails that I just dont have the time!!!!!!!!...:-D
With the worst Regards...........:-)
Sajith
==========================
Hehe Sajith u would have so many standing besides you juz look arund in the jungle who knows you would come across some BIG,ROUND IN SHAPE NIGERIAN (GUY/GAL) J
Jayant
==================================
Hey Sajith,
good to hear from you. though not one of the mails that I would
preserve for my grand children. Would make nice reading for a rainy
day though...
So, you seem to be back to your old cheerful self. :))
Lets not mail-bash you more than needed.
How is the work?How are the people? Fill us in on that country man..
I guess none of us might get a chance to visit Africa. Since you have
got the chance, do let us know how the place looks and feels.
Sumanth
=============================
Alright now that you all have had your laughs.. its time to turn the spotlight back to me.. After all this presumably, Sajith is not gonna let me get away light..so looks like a few broken bones are in order i guess.. or at least a consultation with a good plastic surgeon.. My only hope is to bribe him with a trip to more civilised places.. so people you can leave a comment and i will tell you where to transfer the funds..Hello..don't leave the page ..click on that comments link..heloo..hellooooo..Bah.. i should have known..Friends!!!
So, here's the background.. I have this friend called Sajith, who has been on-site in Nigeria for a pretty long time..so this has actually been fodder for us lesser mortals living in more civilized parts of the world..

Hey Sajith,
good to hear from you. though not one of the mails that I would
preserve for my grand children. Would make nice reading for a rainy
day though...
So, you seem to be back to your old cheerful self. :))
Lets not mail-bash you more than needed.
How is the work?How are the people? Fill us in on that country man..
I guess none of us might get a chance to visit Africa. Since you have
got the chance, do let us know how the place looks and feels.
Sumanth
=============================
Alright now that you all have had your laughs.. its time to turn the spotlight back to me.. After all this presumably, Sajith is not gonna let me get away light..so looks like a few broken bones are in order i guess.. or at least a consultation with a good plastic surgeon.. My only hope is to bribe him with a trip to more civilised places.. so people you can leave a comment and i will tell you where to transfer the funds..Hello..don't leave the page ..click on that comments link..heloo..hellooooo..Bah.. i should have known..Friends!!!

Love Boat Captain--> Pearl Jam
Is this just another day,... this god forgotten place?
First comes love, then comes pain.
Let the games begin,...
Questions rise and answers fall,... insurmountable.
Love boat captain
Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear,... here.
It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough.
All you need is love
Is this just another phase?
Earthquakes making waves,...
Trying to shake the cancer off? Stupid human beings,...
Once you hold the hand of love,.. it's all surmountable.
Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you,...
Cause to the universe
I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word I stil believe
And it'sIt's an art to live with pain,...
mix the light into grey,..
Lost 9 friends we'll never know,.. 2 years ago today
And if our lives became too long, would it add to our regret?
And the young, they can lose hope cause they can't see beyond today,...
The wisdom that the old can't give away
Hey,...Constant recoil...Sometimes life
Don't leave you alone.
Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you.
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word that I still believe and it'sLove,... love. love. love. love.

Screw the past!!!
Yes.. today will be the day i say to myself that i have "finally" moved on.. .. all attempts to even start a conversation have been thwarted..so no more effort from my end to "smooth" things out.. i know things are irreversible..so i am gonna let them stay that way..
Maybe life would be much simpler if i were a little bit more naieve and did not try to "practicalise" and rationalise all my actions..

Savandurga..
This weekend saw me riding to Savandurga..This is a quiet little place about 70 km from Bangalore..I was to meet the others at 7:30 and we were to take off at 8:00.. Considering that i had been partying late the previous day..it was quite an effort to make it to the venue..but the fact that i was one of the ride co-ordinators egged me on.
I had actually crashed out at my friend's place the previous night..so after a gargatuan effort,i managed to wake up and make my way home by 6:30 in the morning..a quick bath and some quicker packing..and was out the door by 7:15..I was planning to ride slow upto the venue so that i could clear my drowsiness and the hangover..this plan did not work for long..just a couple of kilometres ahead i happenend to see Rocky and Lohith on Airport road.. So, it turned out to become a race to the venue thing...
Soon we were all at the Town Hall which was the designated starting point..After the introductions and a little planning it was time to set off..Lohith and me would be in the lead..and Rocky and Vikas were to sweep.. So..off it was at around 8:10..and bang into Sunday morning traffic..
the first 20 odd kms were just pure frustration.. the traffic was too much to bear.. but for me it was a blessing in disguise..it gave me enough of a buffer time to actually clear my head..and clear it did just in time for the clear roads that we soon came across.. they were pure bliss.. a biker's dream if i may say so. there were so many twists and every one of them banked so well..
I had last seen such good twists on the way back from Mangalore.. and then i was still learning the art of going around corners.. All that i read and had been told came to mind..and what better time to put it into practice..
I was in the lead and had to make sure that i kept the pace going..there was my motivation..and the speedometer just reflecting that.. i was slowly increasing my speed..and realised that all that i had learned on paper was now going well in practice.. I kept my lines well and leant into the curves as anybody would have.. this built up my confidence.. and soon i was doing about 80-90 on those curves ..i even took it upto 100+ once.. the feeling was just awesome... there comes a point in every ride when you feel one with the bike.and this was it for me today..especially with Pink Floyd in my ears..ah it was just bliss..
Soon..sadly since i was just getting warmed up...we were at Magadi..This was our breakfast stop..and that is when i realised how hungry i was..it was nearly 16 hours since i had last eaten a proper meal..
Post breakfast we set off to Savandurga..it was a short ride of about 15 -20 km..and all of it on narrow village roads..The rock is pretty imposing at first.. the sheer size of it is enough to say PHEW.. and was lost in admiring it.. and we were soon clamouring to scale this rock.. It was a pretty difficult task especially in the swelterin gheat.. but we did manage to cover about 1/3rd of the distance..After the climb the guys were all pining for beer..but i guess that would not be a good idea.. at least i am not comfortable with the drinking and driving thing..especially on a highway..After some debate on what next..it was decided that we would all head home..I was more than ready for a nice home cooked lunch and a longg siesta..
So off it was by 12:00 or so.. and this time too i was in the lead and was testing the speed limits on those twisties..these curves i could fall for anytime:)
The return journey was pretty similar to the onward one.. except for the rise in temprature..and the traffic too..
Was home by 2:30 and in time for a nice lunch and slept till late in the evening..
A fitting way to finish off a sunday ride.. So guess this means that i will be found on some highway or the other on most sundays:)))
