Days that have mattered in my life - #5 to #1


#5 The day I went to photograph the spot where I survived an accident with 3 broken bones 

This was the day before Kimi became the world champion. My excitement was cut short with an accident that left me with a few broken bones. More painful was the thought that I could not see the best race of the season. That was a Saturday. 
Alright come Monday. I am at home at 10AM. Full plaster and slings and this and that. But the fun was going to the spot where I fell to see how long the drag was. 5 meters maybe. Insane it was. Nevertheless fun. I still rue missing the 4 way shootout of 2007 

#4 The day I went to Ruby's Tuesday 

Couple of things. Eventful. And a priceless memory.  

#3 The day my parents decided to introduce me to computers 

They would be regretting this day. 1999 should be the year when they gave me a 133MHz P-II, 32MB RAM, 0.98 GB spec desktop. Without multimedia of course. 
Law of diminishing marginal utility did not hold good. And I burnt out the processor of my next P4 machine. Good 40 grands during the days of recession (2001). I was officially tagged as brash and a spendthrift for this act. 

#2 The day I drove a four wheeler 

July 7th - 2001. Written in bold. Etched in my memory. My cousin would just let me get to the drivers seat because it was raining heavily and there was no traffic. And rest as they say is history. 

#1 The day I went for the Formula One GP of India 

I would not care if I died tomorrow. I have seen it all. My life is redeemed :) 

So, as a matter of fact, the best times in life come when you are with yourself. Noteworthy mentions would be my stay in Mumbai. And of course undergrad days. I used to be my new best friend. And I want that back now. For this is one life to live. And I want to make myself happy. So meet my new best friend. Myself
