It was a beautiful morning.I was waiting for my friend Ashwin, for both of us to go Ramachandra Hospital. He agreed to donate blood for my friend. Well few words about Ashwin, he is a professional biker. Rode from kashmir to kanyakumari in bike. Chennai to bangalore, sunrise to sunset in his bike. Got lots of similar records to his credits. So imagine me travelling with a guy like him in his bike to Porur which is supposed to be one of the buzzing places in chennai especially in the morning, due to concentration of markets.
The ride was like roller coaster ride. Ashwin said he was riding normal. But my pulse was racing 82times a minute. We were just 5 minutes away from the destination. Ashwin was geared to his creative zen and i suddenly noticed a guy speakin to both of us in the local language. I intially thought he was speakin to someone else and ignored him. Again he came close to our bike and said "Enna ungalukku mattum thaan road la vandi ippadi ellam otta theriuma?". Since Ashwin was listening to music, he dint realise wat the guy said. But he asked me and i had to tell the truth. Ashwin was fuming but left the issue.
He was just riding the normal ashwin way of riding(abnormal and unearthly for me) and suddenly a bike overtook us. It was none other than the guy who challenged us in signal. That guy was riding a pulsar 180cc engine. Ashwin just had a 100cc star city with a pillion rider.
Ashwin is a determined guy and nothing can influence his attitude once he fixes what to do. Unfortunate for me that Ashwin had to face the race. He got pretty close to the guy and overtook him near porur lake and slowed down a bit show tat he achieved. But the guy took advantage of it and overtook ashwin again. Ashwin really got furious this time and he gave no heeds to my repeated request to stop the risky game. Ashwin ofcourse beat the guy way behind and took a steep turn into Ramachandra Hospital and that guy was nowhere in the sight. We waited to see the guy pass the place. Ashwin was happy....I almost saw my dead grandpa smiling from heaven wavin a big HI to me. When i got down off his bike, i checked if i was alive.
Travelling with ashwin is safe..as long as the ride does not give you a heartattack...
