My very first accident on 19th April, the day after Sri Rama Navami: Ok first of all all you guyz who ride the bikes - take my advice - wear a frigging helmet. It saved the day for me. Those of you who think the helmets are not cool enough - get this. It will not be cool anyways when you are hurt and end up in a vegetative state. Ok this is the end result of the incident - my Pulsar 150 is in a bad shape, the front rim is bent and the bike wobbles a lot. The bike is a pathetic thing when it comes to tight corners and today I had a bad day with it. Well the strange thing is that I never had a problem when I travelled fast, but slow!! The history: I was already in a sleepy state on this day and was contemplating whether to stay back or not. Well I took a nap at Ashish's place and thought I was in a better state. So at around 0005 hrs or so I started off for home. However just before the Indo-American Cancer hospital, I was feeling drowsy and bad luck there was a ditch just there near the footpath. Next minute I was doing Dr. Kiran's rag-doll simulation. In the air I was - its a bird, its a plane, no its a frigging accident. As of now the state is - my right side - elbow scratched out of skin (1.5 inches), right palm around 0.25 inches on two spots, and a small scratch on the left foot. What is MOST important is that there was impact on the helmet. Had I NOT been wearing the helmet, I would have been (worst case) in Tartarus, Gehanna, Sheol - Inferno and my dear manager would have to start hunting for a new guy. The results and conclusions: (for those who can relate to the statement "75 concerns" (TM)) I cannot tell you the importance of this - WEAR A FRIGGING HELMET!! My helmet is genuine. :D Hyderabad roads SUCK!! Drunken driving is as dangerous as sleepy driving. Pulsar balance sux!! Go for Unicorn. It has a better control on turnings. Nobody can counter this - you did not go thru what I did today. I do not ride well. I think I was laughing when I had this accident. Strange. I have to find a way to cough up 2K (atleast). I am coming after the R&&B dept now. Thank you for the great roads. Oh yeah - accidents are NOT cool. If I gave you that impression in anyway.
