One of those days

It was one of those days..... days which you wouldnt forget in a hurry.

It was one of those days when, as Paulo Coelho would have said, the universe conspires in your favor, to get you what you want.

I had to go to the university, that is at Kashmere gate. A good 30 kilometres from my place, post which i would have gone and met my friends at MIB, and have a good time coz they were getting free with with the 2nd sem exams, after which all of them wud have been off to their summer projects and never have the time to breath, leave alone go out with frnz.

It was my 3rd round to the university to get a darned Migration Certificate, which the finicky NM admin staff wouldnt let me in without.
See, the world knows that offices in delhi (hence also all educational institutions also) shut shop by 5 in the evening. But yours truly, the worlds biggest lazy bum would only get out of home at 4.25 knowing fully well that the 30 km odd trip thru one of the most congested roads in delhi, wud not take less than 50 minutes.
So, as usual, the only thing which takes the beating in such a case is my poor bike. Whipped as hell, the iron horse would gallop and neigh at all obstacles in its course, slowing only for the blue colored, 6 wheeled behemoths roaming the jungle. And honestly, i was impressed for the first time, at its ability to really really go fast and stop even quicker. So this thoroughbred got me to my destination in 40 mins flat. Thats an amazing avg speed of 45 in city.
5.05 it is 5 minutes overtime alrite, but not all indian govt. officers leave for home early. (not coz they are overly enthu about their work, but coz they cant finish the simplest tasks in time) So i had the good fortune of finding the concerned guy and handed him all the relevant documents, rushed to another office on the 4th floor, to submit an application for an additional 1st sem marksheet.
Came back down, to find my stuff almost ready.
The Universe had conspired, FOR me.

But now i was a lil late to join the gang in Kamla Ngr McD's, where most o the ppl were about to leave for home, and quite contrary to my expectations, were too weary after the exam to really chill out. But i wasnt gonna let em go so easily. For i knew, there wudnt be many such days in the future for me, ever. When i had most o the gang with me and we could do whatever we wanted to and go wherever we wanted to.

So yours truly, managed to convince enough ppl to come along to CP.

Hey, all this while i missed mentioning the squall, which made the weather so pleasant and the ride one of the best ever. And add to that i had to travel thru the ridge, and i was smitten. I mean had it not been for the plan with frnds, i wud have gone up and down the 3km road till it became dark. It is so darn beautiful, the curves, the bends, the uphill and the downhill, and of course the honda ride is so enjoyable.

And now, when we're plannin to goto CP frm K Nags, Sam asks G, if its ok if she came wid me on the bike and not G. And u know Sam not one of the, but the only woman i know who loves bikes and enjoys bike rides as much as i do. for eg, when i take a really fast corner, others say "ACHAN!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" and Sam says "WHEEEEEEEEEE, WHOAAAAAA!!!!" And when u have some one who enjoys it as much as u do, its double the fun.

imagine that thru the ridge, then on the wide open ring road.............

Then we had fun at CCD in CP, and when we came out it was dark and it was raining.
On other days, i shud be worrying about getting wet, going back home late, and wondering what excuses should i conjure up which wud sound convincing enough, but today was different.
Today was a day everything was happenning for me. And so was this rain, we walked to Palika Parking and got a lil wet alrite, but then when we came out of the underground lot, it had stopped. Almost as if tellin me, that uve had ure share of fun, now get back home safely.

Came back home and it was all cool..............

The universe conspired.........big time!
