My first bike, Hercules Canon Barrel(9 yrs old in 2006), and it still manages to average speeds of around 30 kmph!! i.e. with non working rear brakes, poor front brakes. Got the fork changed from Star Fork to this one, because the old one got bent due to rough riding!
A badly taken picture(used flash!) of my gloves(Rs.130/-) and Vega Helment(1400/-)

That is my riding jacket, A Pepe Jeans Jacket(Rs.2899/-), I believe it is of suede leather

My bicycle....hercules cannon barrel

a few notes .... about my bicycle...
more about it soon...
My first was a 2nd hand..roadster cycle with those screeching support

wheels.....way back in 4th standard....got hercules cannon barrel...when

I was in 7th standard....it was a new bike back then..with its fat frame

etc...many kids in my school used to ask for a ride....and I used to give

it to most of them.....racing on it was fun....my bike was a hit in terms of

looks for a long time...till the arrival of trailblazer and top gear!!
I still ride it..and prefer it for some errands(esp. crowded markets) over

my bike....though its a MTB....I love riding it on highways....I am

considering putting some gear system on it.....and the best feeling is to

beat slow vehicles on the road with my 0bhp bike.....but I can never

forget this guy on a race bike....those with thin tyres and works....I

overtook him once..and that was it..he raced ahead(he has gears! )..I

was barely able to keep pace......I had to give up....there was no

point.....

----
On some day in July ....maybe it was august 2006....I was coming home

from a fast and wet ride on my herculeus canon barrel....I entered my

housing complex....didnt feel like going home...so decided to ride

around in my complex.....and while riding near a section of my

complex...I slipped.....thanks to the moss-laden cemented

surface...luckily my wrist left the handle quickly or else I would have

broken my wrists.....I got up....found nothing broken/torn....my cycle

looked fine....again was about to slip....couldn't get any traction...but

somehow managed get out of there....now that is where my stupidity ran

sky high...I got overconfident...come on...I have 9 yrs of experience

riding cycles and I have never slipped....so why is this surface so

special...I think I had shut down my brain at that time..so went through

that route again.....and no miracles here....I slipped again and this

time....I think I twisted my shoulder a bit too much while slipping...and

the handle got twisted too....anyway I came home......

I have lost my cellphone

I lost my cellphone on 2nd January 2007, what a way to start the new year.
The model was LG B2050.
Lost it while commuting in central mumbai local trains.
The cellphone required the entry of password if anybody wants to start the cellphone,
so its out of question that the handset would have been of any use to the thief.
And I have alredy blocked the sim-card.
So now, I am without a cellphone, though, I will get a new (cheap) one soon.

ICICI BANK SUCKS.....ICICI BANK IS BAD.....

ICICI BANK doesn't value its customers much,
maybe they have plenty of them!!
What makes me say that?
well you can say that I am a victim of their carelessness.
It is shocking but sometimes big banks have indifferent attitude.
but I got to bear them, because I have got this idiotic salary account with them,
but still that changes nothing,
they suck, they are........................................................................may go on....
so bye for now.....but this blog isnt dead...ok??
I am back...armed with more updates!!he he he
and belated happy new year to all readers(esp. to rosh & tashi ...where art thou)

Helmet Ride

By Sanket ‘got lid on’ Kambli

Vega! That is the brand of my helmet.

It has Mild Seven (Renault F1 team style) graphics, with alonso’s name gracing it.

So out I went for my first ride with a helmet.

Removed my specs, slid the helmet on my head, after a little push.

The helmet was snug, flipped open the visor, wore my specs, and flipped the visor back.

Sat on the bike, from that moment itself the inexperience of helmet use was evident while riding, with this being my first helmet.

The field of vision narrowed, objects that could have been viewed without moving my head, required me to do some neck movements. And my excellent idea of going out for this ride at night didn’t make matters any easy for me.

But all those thoughts were quickly banished after self-starting my bike.

The beat!!! It’s addictive.

The riding difference was different as compared to helmet-less riding, but the biggest difference was the response of wind resistance to my helmet. As the speed raced beyond 35kmph, I could hear a distinct whoosh-whoosh, initially I was unsettled, but after it registered in my mind that it was just wind, I was relaxed.

The fact is that every ride on a bike is a new experience. And wearing helmets is definitely cool.

my first ride, bajaj pulsar 180 DTSI UG3

My bike arrived,
without papers(have them now) and temporary number(will get that on firday!),
just about a litre or two in the tank,
the bike was bought home by dads friend, as I was at office,
came home, took the cover off,
there it was,
all blue and black,
my biking experience is limited to my dads CT-100,
so as soon as I got the bike off the stand, I felt the weight difference.
sat on it,
felt different(compared to CT-100),
sloted the key in, the awesomely brilliant speedo came to life,
ok,,i was ready to roll,
fuel inlet set to ON,
now, I tried pressing the self start button,it wont do anything,
I was worried, then a few seconds later it struck me,
the EKS(engine kill switch), so I set it to ON,
with a pumping heart, I self started the bike,
it purred to life,nice sound,
raced it a bit(a bit only) to feel the beat of the engine,
started headlight, etc(it was a starry night),
slotted the 1st gear, what a difference,
no clunky sound like the CT-100, felt smoother,
went a few yards and stopped, braking was very confident,
then I spent almost a minute trying to find the neutral,
1st of all i had completely forgotten the changed 1-down and 4-up gearing system,
and not only that ,the gears being so smooth, while getting to neutral from 1st i ended up on 2nd

gear,
now i have got the old system out of my head and new system in,
havent raced/rode it much nor havent yet reached 4th gear(coz papers/RTO passing hadnt come

& i have only learners license),,will do that soon, and post my experience
so in all as a newbie rider,
I found gear smooth,
easy to read and brilliant speedo,
responsive throttle,
sleek clutch,
powerful brakes,
lights/horn and stuff is gr8,
--------------
it felt good when some kids who were busy admiring my bike ,say that one day they are gonna buy

a bike like this,
and by the way, prepared to be stared at , by everyone!!!!!
--
expect more and better reports of newbie experiences soon..
bye bye....got to go and get a helmet,,, and gloves,,

My bike has arrived

My bike!!!!!!!!!!
has!!!!!!!!!!!!!
arrived!!!!!!!!
ok....it arrived on monday itself,
but was lazy to post anything, sorry,
it is a blue Bajaj Pulsar 180....
its got digital speedometer and stuff...
more on that later....as I am very sleepy,
so more comprehensive post next time.
By the way,
the bus in which I was travelling to my office at Seepz, broke down at Gandhinagar,
so I had to catch a rickshaw (cost:Rs. 35),
my bikes gear system is super smooth...

Uhhhhh!!!!!!!!

The next puzzle/quiz landed in my inbox,
check it, lifted straight from the mail, no changes in text.
-------------------------------------------------------------
male or female... Quick Eye Exam...
This will blow your mind...!
Just do it - don't cheat!!!!!!!!!!!!
Try this its actually quite good.
But don't cheat!
Count the number of F's in the following text in
15 seconds:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE
RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC
STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS

Managed it?
Scroll down only after you have counted them!
OK?
How many?
Three? (You r definitely male!!!)
Wrong, there are six - no joke!
Read again!

FINISHED FILES ARE THE
RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC
STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS

The reasoning is further down...
The MALE brain cannot process the word "OF".
Incredible or what?
Anyone who counts all six F's on the first go has
a brain of a Female

-------------------------------------------------------------
I think the above thing is either load of rubbish,
or I really have got *a brain of a female*,
but then that too is load of rubbish.

An eventful Sunday is coming to an end.

The day’s event ended with fast city cycling.

Today successfully submitted Semester 2 and Semester 3 assignments, credit for semester 3 assignments should go to Deepa Mehtani for giving me most of the Sem 3 assignments.

Things seem to be working out fine, and soon I will be recieve my bike. Though I am yet to get my full license, I think I will have to manage with a learner’s license.

Friday was a physically stressful day, not because of my work, but because of the crowded buses. Standing on toes of one foot, and my back bent in some acute angle, my fingers stressing under the weight of my bag, and the bus rocking to and fro, my posture was more painful than any tough yoga posture. And my body was aching till Sunday morning.

I don’t want to talk much about the riots, I don’t think they were riots, they were terrorist acts. There is nothing people like us can do about that. Helpless!

The two large fishes (locally called shark fishes for the way they look) of my fish tank, have been transferred to my neighbor’s larger fish tank, good for them.

Arsenal dumped rivals Spurs 3-0, while India won its first 20-20 match, but then lost the 5^th ODI.

I have unistalled all games from my machine, except CueClub. No! Not because of exams, but due to scarcity of free disk space.

Some *phaltu* jokes,

Q: Marriages are made in heaven, then what are made in Hell?
A: the days after marriage
Q: During Marriage ceremony why the bridegroom is is made to sit on the horse?
A: He is given his last chance to run away.

The human brain is most outstanding thing.......

A note found in the sea of internet:-

Affinity Engines, a social networking service provider, filed a lawsuit against Google on May 25, 2004. The suit claims that Google's social network, Orkut, is using a source code that was stolen by Orkut Buyukkokten, an engineer previously employed by Affinity. The suit also alleges that Buyukkokten promised he would not develop a competing social-networking service when he left to join Google. Google has said the allegations are without merit.
