An encouter with a Scorpio.

Dinner at Mainland china ! that too ... a treat !!! + getting to meet old best-friends !!!! All these thoughts made me push the accelerator on the bike. It was a pleasant evening. Me clad with my favourite Wills-cargos, 2 days old - brand new Seabiscuit 70.95$ jacket, halki-baarish, 8:30 pm time, cool breeze, and twinkling head n tail lights of vehicles on road, all this visible through my helmet. Since long I ve been wanting to clean or rather get a new plastic for my helmet but as always, laziness prevented me. This made my already less visibility, lesser.

Have you seen the Black Scorpio ? I mean the newly launched Mahindra-Scorpio. It is such a beauty ! really cool looks ! Well, I dont want to get into the details of the cool scorpio neither do I want to discuss about my dreams of owning it one day. All I want to say is that I saw it on the road. Shining body, dimly lit red lights, this beauty was some 20 meters away.

The dimly lit red light turned bright blood red. The Scorpio had stopped where it was. I was on 30. Oh ya ... 1 more thing, I forgot to tell you, I have always wanted to repair these fronk brakes on my bike, but u see ... laziness. :( . So I did all that I could. Put one of my legs on the road, put all the force that I could on the brakes. Now, for the intelligent heads out there who would be thinking why i didnt overtake the scorpio from either of the sides, I couldnt, there was hardly any time to think of all that once I had started applying the brakes + i was damn sure that the bike would stop inches away from the cool-car ! But, the road being oil-spilled / my bike tyres being quite worn out, I dont know, the bike kept its speed at 30 !!!

Then 60 deg to the left 60 deg to the right, 60 deg to the left, 30 degree to the left and baaam - on the road flat still not stopping. I stopped to see that the Scorpio was already on its way - away. Got up. The first thing I could sense was that the fav cargoes will find their way to my fav-not used collection- it was so torn. The jacket which was just 2 days new looked as if it was 20 years old. So much so for saving my dream car which wasnt mine !!!

Got up, took my bike n back to home ! Treat - well ... some other day :)
