I managed to drive today morning to office ... i had tuned into the FM station and they were talking about the august 15th (Indian Independence Day) event. Well i have some sweet rather adventurous memories of this day back in 2003. Paaji,Aninde (both indians), and Cavish(french speaking mauritian indian) and myself went to this Indian Independence Day celebrations at La Trobe University in Melbourne.. after dinner Paaji and aninde got this brilliant idea to lighten our night with spirits....off we were in aninde's car to the store .. his car had no rgistration.... a fake number plate(that too dangling on two plastic threads)... we got some Johny Walker.. and we decided we will go to the parking lot next to wildlife santuctuary behind the university... We had almost finished the spirits... we could hear some coppers siren.. aninde was afraid...we decided to move somewhere else... cavish got this idea that we go to city.... i was driving.. and i had no idea how to go to downtown melbourne... next stop at the petrol station filled petrol and bought a MELWAY (melway is the route map book of almost whole of Victoria state...every state has something like this i guess..).... we were on way to downtown on a chilling melbourne night with the air-conditioning in the car down and we all obviously high on spirits...(nice combi isn't it)... we were driving atop West Gate bridge when somebody got an idea that we go to geelong (its around 180 km from melbounre)..... well i guess nobody had any objection to it... so i drove along.... whilst on the freeway to Geelong...well we decided to move ahead than geelong and go to Great Ocean Road...( hmmm it all sounded good... i had no idea what Great Ocean Road looked like or felt like ).. we had a long drive... and after three hours of driving i realised the roads starting curving a lot... there was no traffic (obviously there would no traffic it was 2 in the morning....)... even though the roads were curving only thing i could read well was the road signs which read ( MAX SPEED 110 ).. i was happy driving at 100 i was well within limits... i looked at paaji... he was bit like dozing.. and looked behind... those two were good as dead... paaji was trying to keep his eyes open... but was hard for him... i didnt stress out... i drove along... at around 4 in the morning i thought i needed a break...i stopped..everybody was dozing.. i wanted to light up..i stopped the car..right side i could see trees and steep climb to the somewhere (i couldnt guesss where it went)... i got out of the car and was firing my lighter i could hear some water gushing and belting some rock like stuff... i slowly walked to other side of the car...and peeped.... MY GODDDDDDD.... theres was deep gorge and i couldnt see the waters..but i could hear it SO LOUD!!!!....and it was STEEP... i ran to the car.. sat inside... i jus visualied... we were driving in a unregistered car..with fake number plates... high on spirits... 400 KM away from melbourne.. and .... all this while i was driving at 100 KMPH and i didnt even know what was on the other side of the car...!!!!!!!!!!!!........ i couldnt drive any longer.... i sat inside and dozed...waiting for the rising sun to give us hopes!!!... Next morning the rising sun made the situation even more adventurous and dramatic....!!!!!!!!!! ( i will continue later..)
