Karting...Another Misadventure

Well this was a failure as I count it, though others may not really think so.

It was a perfect evening otherwise.He was at his best that day.Somehow assuming that I don't drink he got a juice.How gentlemanly I bemused.What he did not know was that I would have drunk neat that day, just so to avoid the nervous flutter deep below.

I was bidding my time and waiting for the inevitable to happen albeit slowly.I was there to try my hand (legs rather) at Karting ! Gosh, it was the first scary thing I had ever attempted.
I was trying to quieten the butterflies in my stomach when suddenly I was thrown into the energy surrounding the adventure.

With a very mechanical approach I donned the suit and the helmet waiting for my time to come.
Quickly I remembered all the Gods I have come to know till date, and decided to latch-on to the strongest of them all.
HANUMAN.
I decided he would be my saviour for the evening.

Putting on a rather brave face, I went ahead and seated myself in the karting vehicle.
What followed was a brief struggle to get acquainted to the dragon.
Damn, I muttered to myself.
What the hell am I doin' here anyway?
I ought to be sitting at home sipping somthing hot, except that I did not like to lose without trying.
To top it all, he kept whispering sweet nothings about stray accidents which have happened earlier on the tracks.
It is rather weird, I thought.He did not do anything to calm my nerves.

Once on the track, I tried my best, except when somebody tried a crack and bumped me from behind.I shouted out like crazy and held on to dear life and my head !

Indians are not brought up that way I finally concluded.We are taught to fear danger whereas it is exactly the opposite here in the west.They are taught security, so they don't really fear danger.

That day I decided I would never rue to my kiddy that "Be careful, U'll fall down and get hurt...!!!!".He would know it anyway...why to teach him the consequences so early.Let him try...

Come-on its just karting he said....yeah some words...

God forbid, if I ever try it again !
