My legs, mine own
A month and half (almost) after the accident, I finally have use of my legs back. Rather, my wheels. I got my bike back y’day from the service centre, and never has my bike been in better condition. (Well, there was this once, before I bought it).
Everything in the bike except the engine and the two wheels are new, and gleaming. And I can once again look at Madras traffic in the eye and say “You suck!”.
Riding around the city on an old LML Vespa scooter isn’t my kind of recreation at all. I shall leave it to the Punjabi women who develop double chins. For a brief period of time I assumed myself to be one of those women so well described by Mr. Aadishtan.
In fact, the similarity went beyond just the mode of transport. I even hogged 2 number aloo parathas and attended a party. Thankfully, not of the Kitty kind.
I am mighty glad I got back my bike. I am now in a better state of mind to accept the slow, but inevitable change.

Yeah! I know. It so happens that I am generally not to blame, but I turn out to be the victim

Hey,
I found you through Karthik’s story. And asked him if you were the same guy from Orkut. Heard you came to office?
And btw, I read your blog about his story.
I bow before you, my Lord!
Hope you stayed indoors yesterday, or they might have just immersed you in the sea… ha ha!
Just thought I’ll say Hi and let you know my about my blogspace.
Cheers!

Avlokana: Thanks man! (I keep saying that to you always, but stil…)
Suderman: Thanks dude!
Yup me is the Orkut guy! And me can laugh at myself! In fact, I am so silly, I can laugh at anything, and have set records for being the silliest laugher around.
>>>immersed you in the sea>>> what sea? You forget I need a snout for that! Whatever it is, my nose isn’t yet a snout

Lml vespa punjabi connection was first made by Mr. Aadisht. I only
I guess it worked.
referred to it. And entirely self-deprecatory a manner.

hey,
I have a scooty, somewhat battered, but still royal! But I know what exactly you mean! In fact, inspired by ur post to put up somthing sometime ago on the blog! thanks for that mate!
cheers!

I like the scooty, except, it was never built for a guy like me. Ask Karthik what I mean by that.
Inspirations are what I blog for. I adopted a friend’s excuse “I blog to start conversations” as mine own. So go ahead, blog away.
Might I say how much I like your and your colleague’s blogs (Karthik, Sudermani, Shyamala)
