Well I did got carried away telling stories about my greatest time and ones which I had the most revelations about myself, strengths ,weaknesses n above all felt like living more..!!
As a proof of all that I said and done:
Below are the links to my coorg trip.. It still gives me thrill thinking about it- http://picasaweb.google.com/div.al29/CoorgFall2007
And this link is about my same friend who went on ride all alone. Well he was the only one who would surpass me in crazy stuff. Wayanad Bike Trip, I planned it last year with him but could not make it as there were personal probs and of course I paid more attention to Office projects, "eBank", thought to be on that hall of fame, the life I lost, and GMAT dream I traded for life of a developer. I gave up my GMAT that year. I still regret those descisons. Now my friend made that trip alone. Check out the album in Wayanad Bike Trip: -

There is another guy named Ayan - who is every thing we are now. Calm, sober, the gentleman.
Nishu - He is a guy tangentially out of even our under standing. The Brotherhood representative. Mix of italian and punk style.
Pratik - The geek guru among us.
And about the blog its true n genrally I like to keep a low profile and share these things only those who are interested in it.: You can still check it in satyam blog site, and mouthshut.. N ways m pasting one part of the entire 7 part series that was second of the most hit ones. N today looking back I strongly feel that I am in a very wrong profession.

7 â€" The Blurr.
I was laying face first and felt as if I am moving. It took me a good time to realize where am I. Slowly I open my one eye, from its corner I could make out I am on a top berth of a train. Next, a shrill of passing freight brought me to senses enough to speak my name. As I felt life so did I feel pain. First things was that I checked for my kidneys .. off.. no cuts on my back but my body felt as if its was crushed under a road roller. Couldn’t lift my arms and legs.
Where, What, How were the questions I was interested but preferred to hold em. As I closed my eyed a frames came on my mind in slow mo.. .. Jumping in ice cold water fall. Screaming while zapping @ 160 KMPH. Missing ppl and trees by millimeters in those, Sleeping by a camp fire. Climbing a vertical cliff on a clear day.
Yeah Hell right.. I peaked down to see Bangadu and Capt T. dozing off to glory.. Time was 6 am and we were heading to Hyd.- the karam bhoomi. How I felt was .. simply smiling for no reason.
The biggest reason: For the first time in past months I was Happy.

This write up is about a bunch of Average Joe’s who decide to meet up and spend up an entire weekend together.
Since they are average, so no special background, all are friend since their memory started, studied together till schooling but never let go of their pasts.
