Pune-Solapur NH 9


Pune-Solapur expressway construction started around 3 years before. Once this road is done, it would be really amazing to drive on this highway. Crossing several bridges, farms, dam. It's scheduled completion is in mid 2012. But looking at its state, progress no one will think it will be completed within remaining 30day.

Below photo speaks a lot about this road 

Board adhered in one of ST depo

Addiction


Life can't be more beautiful than this.

Reading books was my habit at some point of time. Unfortunately had lost contact with books from 2nd year of my job career. I was hardly reading news paper regularly. Deadlines, project-deliveries, UK time difference, live project. Life was bit monotonous. Catch 9, 9.30's bus and reach by 11 to office and in evening (..well it was night ) go by 8.30 s bus. After reaching home, i had no interest in reading even news paper. I had to endure it for few more months.

Soon I switched project and started 9-6 easy happy life. Office-bus was there for pick n drop. This bus was kinda boring. Only an hour of journey to office but many sleeping faces. Non hectic, better than earlier life.
I started carrying Novel to read. In 2 months or three I finished it and was thinking what next ! When hope is there things fall according to you or to benefit you. Accidentally I came across Eclipse book. I was asked to handover one book to a friend. It was other friend who handed me without unwrapping. So I read book name. Eclipse ! Red ribbon laid from top to bottom in book's cover page. 
'Is it related Eclipse IDE?' I asked innocently.
'Ha ha ha. It is a scary vampire story, love story'.
'Ohh might be, I will hand over without fail'
'Thanks' 
So this is how i came across Twilight Series.

Journey of book from my hand to expected hands took a week. Thanks giving ceremony happened again :) 
Days passed. One of my college friends birthday was approaching. We friends decided to gift together. And looking at my office timings and leisure time, task got delegated to me. On weekend I purchased Eclipse from Crossword and headed for my home. Dialed up friends to let them know gift purchased.. I was so luncatic ! I came to know this is 3rd book in a series. I felt so bad on my ignorance.
Hushh, we went to shop to rectify mistake. 3rd Book is costlier than 1st book, so shop owner refused to exchange book and return remaining money. We had not enough time to sit-talk-sort out. I picked two copies of Twilight(1st book in series) and one of New Moon(2nd book in series). I purchased one copy of Twilight and rest two went for wrapping. Celebrated birthday party with the girl. She had not read any of these books nor seen movies. So we knew she will enjoy reading these books.
Next morning I carried book in bus to read.

Book is really nice to read. I took bit more time to finish. Pages were turning yellow as quality of paper was below average.
News was hitting about Eclipse movie. Release date was declared. I had to finish New moon and Eclipse before watching it. When you know each tiny thing, movie seems very bald. Upon reading book i never screamed, never had nightmare. But movies were exception :)
My mother said you screamed yesterday night. Well that's because of Picture effect.

Breaking dawn - my birthday gift.
Colleagues from office bus used to say, 'Soon you will start drinking human blood, roam around with red eyes !'
I enjoyed lime light and laughed with them.
I am in love with the 'love between Bella and Edward'. Being in love is really a nice experience. Life is beautiful.

When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, its not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end. So true.

Twilight series is written keeping Bella at first position. Jacob have got few chapters but not Edward. Still his care, love is seen time to time. They overcame obstacles and poured love onto each other. Do you really have any idea how important you are to me? Any concept at all of how much I love you? I’ll never forgive myself for leaving you. Not if I live a hundred thousand years. He simply asks her, Do i dazzle you? Bella replies in same tone I feel very safe with you.


Not all addictions are bad, addiction of love is good.



Life can't be more beautiful than this.

How to drive a car

Being junior in family I never came across driving bike. Brother, father, cousins were there to pick me up or to drop. Neither I was crazy for driving nor need came across.
I had rough and tough Hero's Ladies cycle in school days. It last till my graduation.

Frequency of rickshaw's to go my school, college was good but one downside was to it. They used to take 4 passengers.  It was too clumsy, 4 passengers have to adjust a lot to sit in a rikshaw. I always preferred my cycle.

After my post graduation, ..  my better half was always there :)

It was a rainy season. We were on a long drive. Mumbai Pune highway is simply the best option for such drives. Panvel bypass passed and he turned car towards Karjat.
When only both of us go on long drives, FM/Audio systems are off. We talk a lot, listen to each other or simply listen the silence.

'Raje see those birds flying up in the air', to broke the anxiety I spoke something. Birds were returning there home. Rain had just stopped. Sun was yet not set, twilight made the sky more beautiful. Sky seemed to be made of Gold. 


'Hmmm' he spoke with his throat.

I kept looking out of window and sinking in the silence. Almost hour had passed from the time we started from home. For each of my sentence he was replying hmm, arggggggg, achhaa or okay.  I knew he was not going to talk.

'Ok, we will buy Piranha' I gave up. There was a chance that our fish tank will become empty because of this fish. So none of us, mom-dad and I wanted to buy it.
'hmm'
'when to go for buying it?'
'hmm'

I was more worried now. From two days we were discussing on "Piranha", he wanted to buy and i was against. Now though i agreed, he was still upset.

'Why are you not talking? We will buy that fish, when to go?'
'What!!!!' 

That was his usual style. He demands more attention :)

'Arre I did not hear you, I was thinking about those birds' 

While speaking this his face was glowed. He smiled and raised shoulders. I captured his happiness, he was happy now. 

'Ohh my sweeti, we will buy new tank for him so he doesn't eat our fishes in old tank. Dont ya worry'

He turned to give me hi5 and..

He got cramp in his back. He was unable to move in seat. Car was running with speed of 60+ and he did not had good control on car now. This was not a highway. It was road in city, which did not have dividers. So many overtakers and fast running vehicles were there. We saw one car was approaching us from front. 
Raje yelled at me, 'switch gear, turn car left, i will release clutch'.

I was stunned. I did not understand what he meant. He was asking me to drive. I replied with high pitch  "how do I switch and on which gear.. should I pull hand break "

We were looking at each other.  Car was only few meters away now..
And before he can instruct me .... 

Whuuuuuuuuuuuuushhhhhh.... 

Car passed with a hair distance.

We were so frightened, I pulled gear and moved car to left. Car went few meters ahead and slowed down. Then it stopped. I came out and helped Raje to come out of car.
Mean time one Police jeep overtook us and stopped ahead. Two policemen walked towards us.
Police helped him to get out of car. Fortunately first aid kit was with them. With Spray his ache stopped.

Police started in there typical style, 'aap ko kuch samajhta nahi , accident ho jata toh? aap aaram se upar jate par hume case, investigation, papers kitna kuch jhanjhat hota..... License dikhaoo, documents, PUC,.. abhi chaloo agle police station, aapka license wahi se le lena ... .. .... ... '

He talked with Police Inspector, there discussion could not catch my attention, I was still shocked. They talked a while. We were fined since all documents were not with us. After receipt and procedure, police went.

He came near car and rested on bonnet. I approached him. He seemed to be very upset. His hands were shivering. I put my palm on his hand. 
"How stupid i am, how can i drive car like this. if something would had happened to you, what would i had told at home? how can I be so irresponsible ? We were arguing on Pirhana, i lost control on car, that too for a fish? Fish !!
Year passed and I never taught you driving ? We never thought of you learning driving"

"From tomorrow morning before i go to office, each day for an hour I will teach you how to drive a car.
Will you learn from me ?"
I smiled and nodded.
He kept his other hand on my palm.

Post office couriered my driving license todayHis worries were valid that time. Even I never thought of driving a car. He was on driver seat. He was more susceptible. What would had I done if something wrong.. I can not imagine now also. He skipped his Gym for two months or so for car driving. 

There are so many other fishes in our tank but not Piranha
