Routine Check I'm Alive!

Guru | 10:03 am | , , , , , , | 5 comments

It's Thursday! my turn! Well Everything looks kewl! Don't know about you but I'm shivering. Life's been super good ever since I started my university (Oye hoye kudiyan hi Kudiyan!...:P). Don't know why people still think of me being a new lad in the city. I roam around the streets like a boss ever since I got a car. My Own car! I like it! The only thing I hate about it is the insurance. Crap! The car cost me around 8K and the insurance was around half of it! I could have had two R15s in India with this amount, unlucky me. It's a 2005 "fully loaded" Honda Accord.

So almost since my first day here Surrey I've been driving crazy like taxi drivers, I just want someone to tell me to drive a car and I know almost every single corner around this place apart from my University..:P All I know in my university is the library(Our meeting spot at the uni.) and Tim Horton(Out eating spot in the uni.).

I'm doing almost nothing here but I still never make it home before 10pm almost every single day and even I can't figure out how and why and every morning dad wakes me up at around 7 just coz he has to watch cricket match on laptop and I'm the operator.

The best thing about this place is that when ever people see a rich guy going in a good car they are like "It's an Arab"and that drives me crazy, the only thing people know about Arabs is that they are super rich.
Guess what? The road in the picture is a trans Canada highway which runs almost throughout the country! They call it a "HWY", Apparently that looks smaller than a service road in Dubai! Poor people. Oh and I was driving at around 130+ on it and it was looking really Fast!

Had to wake up early in the morning to watch India Vs Australia and I've to go for a tennis match too. Finally I've started playing Tennis too! Probably it was the only sport left which I didn't get injured while playing...:P Trying to achieve that too...:D
Tata!

A Tuxy RIDE!

Ron Parker | 4:03 pm | , , , , , , , , | 4 comments

Yesterday someone called me to Al mamzar park!...(ohhh!...someone who?)...no m not gonna tell you who:P. so after meeting him/her n all...i along with Amit(my frnd) were waiting for a taxi to head back.

Suddenly this guy came near us...looking like a drug dealer..."you wanth tuxy?" he said. He asked with the expressions if i want to buy one...i said, "ee...yeah...kind of..why?"

"Where du you wanth tu go?"..asked in a tone similar to my dad when he's angry and i'm about to go out. I told him where we needed to reach and he took us to his car. Now, it didn't look like a taxi at all...a 2006 model Red nissan SUV, v6, twin turbo, red leather interiors, sunroof and a sony surround sound system!...i was like..."so tht's wht a tuxy is!"
Now he took his car out of the parking lot, and i knew this could be my last ride! I looked at him, he had his left leg placed on the door...and the other one never really moved off the accelerator.Now this is what the conversation was:
Me: so...whre are you coming from?
Ahmed(the tuxy driver): F***ing Sharjah!
Me: ohh...and what do you do for a living?
Ahmed: This is my private vehicle and I use it as a tuxy.(in a 007 tone...which basically meant...it's illegal and if u complain...i'll be in)
Me: ahem!...naahhiice.(we were going at about 150-160 km/hr)
Ahmed: I also race illegally in sharjah, police catch me 2 times...put me in jail...i said ok! no problam.
Me: (looking front with a fake smile) so...u like racing?(did i need to really ask tht?)
Ahmed: I LOB IT!..I JUST LOB RACING! IT'S MY LIFE!
Me: why don't u join formula one?
Ahmed: No not tht...I lob street racing...u knw cars moving ...and i go fast...really fast.(as he was saying this we were moving faster and faster...amit in the back seat had his purse out...looking at the pics of his family...and i was confirming whether the vehicle had passenger airbags)
Ahemd:(cont.) hehe...i was going fast and this person show me middle finger...i said yeah?...and then i hit him!..hehe...i said now show me!...haha...the bolice came and he ask wht haben?...i said...accident! My mistake!...haha
(now amit had gone half subconscious and i had gone double in consciousness...still searching for the airbag!)
Me: so go somewhre else...u'll find better roads and u can race more!(smart huh?...no actually changing the speed topic...no airbags yet!)
Ahmed: I hab been to 10 contries in the last 8 months.{throwing his passport towards me}
And as i went through it...china, thailand, south africa, etc etc(beat tht for PASSION!)...we had reached and amit had already seen the doors of hell and I found the Airbag.
There is nothing added in the conversation...it is all part of a true adventure!...I LOBED IT!
What do you think whether he should stick to his passion or it's wrong?...i say he should stick to it.
