About Me

My photo
FREEDOM is ... An open road, My rusty bike roaring to life And a tank full of fuel... Well I am a little confused and no I am not very creative. Many of the pictures you see up on the blog are mistakes.And a sincere request PLEASE DO NOT STEAL THE PHOTOGRAPHS FROM MY BLOG.

Decided that today to put up all the photographs which were taken in 2007.Most of the were taken with the help of a camera phone and a lot of luck.
This particular photograph was taken while walking through a hotel lobby.









This was taken outside the college canteen. The interesting part is none of us are wearing Converse. There are 2 pairs of Adidas and a pair each of Puma, Levis and Reebok.

The picture above was my first day out of bed after my accident and coincidently also happened to be my birthday.
This one was taken by Emmanuel when he came over .
The one below was outside class. Didn't have much to do during lunch. I think this was one more of those accidental photographs of mine; not too shabby though.








These 2 photographs were taken after a night of riding along the Necklace Road. Our knuckles were frozen hard but we were somehow craving for ice cream. Nothing really sets you free like a ride on a 2-stroke screamer, the Yamaha RX-135 and the Yamaha RXZ; our trusty steads. 16 bhp from a ported engine with the bike weighing less then 100kgs... pure ecstasy. The goosebumps as u set off in first gear,trying hard not to flip over with the uninitiated wheelie and then you slip into second the bike revving hard as it reaches its peak. The speedo showing a little over 60kmph, you switch to third and the boost pushes you back and you begin to crouch ... 75, 80, 85, 90 and then you tap the gear shift up one more time and you are in 4th; the bike screams and the wind howls by. SNAP. Shut your visor and the whizzing stops, all you hear now is the bike and your heart beating hard in your chest. A silent prayer as you look down at the speedo which shows a little over 120kmph, all you can hope for is that no one comes around the blind corner as you lean in and take a deep breath and accelerate hard as u reach the end of the turn. The crossroads in sight you let go of the accelerator and the engine 's scream turns to a silent purr, you tap lightly on the brakes , gently shift to neutral and roll to a stop at the red light. Now the smell of burning rubber and boiling engine oil reaches your nose and a sly grin appears under the visor. The signal turns green and u ease into first gear. Time to go home. Enough fun for tonight.
