Met with an accident – Sunday morning

February 7, 2010 by vinodvv

I was narrating the story which happened this morning to Ramaswamy, Just then a Lady Photo walker question me, It was the worst insult to humans, I felt so…
read on for details….

It was 6:30 AM this morning, we (My son, and yours truly) where heading towards Sangam Theater for Chennai Photo Walk on Yamaha RX 135. Just the corner and we would have reached the destination on time, I just raised the throttle, and my motor cycle speedup from 40KMPH, I must have been doing close to 50KMPH on that broad empty road, Just then two street dogs crossed the road, one chasing the other. Indeed a territorial fight is my guess.

I ran over on the dog which was chasing. Believe me, My Yamaha 135 has never made a 180 degree turn on the shortest distance, it did today. My body landed on the right side towards the road. My son was the pillion rider, he was the first to emerged safely with just a single bruise on his right elbow, secondly I too escaped with bruise on my right leg.

We did that 180 degree turn and with just few bruises and we did escape. But How?
The true impact was for the black crazy dog, My bike was on top of the dog. I had this crazy feeling, Just as my right leg landed on the floor the dog some how lifted the entire bike and my bike was just in air that it took the entire 180 degree turn in the standing position.

I am sorry for the dog, but at the same time I had the worst trauma. I was worried about my son, then recollecting my self as soon as my son in safe condition I was thinking about my self, my bloody leg was still under the bike and dog was trying to bite. Just then few early morning walkers and few passers by just lifted my son first then the bike and lastly me.

Imagine going through that trauma and a fellow Photo walker asks me this question, What happened to the Dog?
I answered "Don’t want to comment on that?", She immediately said, you were lucky. I know I was really, really lucky, it would have been worst. I have heard about couple of similar accident at my office especially and seen the worst my friends had experienced.

Yes, we both were lucky, Sorry SPCA guys, Could you guys do some thing about the stray dogs which roam around the streets. At least create some awareness program so that people do really care of their pets and not let them wander on the streets and do inoculate their pets regularly.

P.S: the Lady photo walker, I have no personal offense or vengeance against you, Just that people really care more about the animals and least worried about friends or so called humans.

Note: I usually take my car when my son is around, just that, it got punchered last night, so I had no choice. Oh if you thought I was exceeding the city speed limit of 40KMPH, please question yourself "have you ever not crossed that 40KMPH in your life".

Some crazy ways to shoot an Eclipse

January 16, 2010 by vinodvv

It was close 12:30 PM yesterday afternoon and in a moment there was once shade lighter in what ever you started seeing. The Eclipse had just started, some of my friends took an DSLR to mobile phones, to shoot the Eclipse, some even had a nice sheet of paper with just a pin hole and watching.

My friends and yours truly had just finished the lunch, it was our usual joint where we use to take rest with little chat. We noticed some thing strange in the light and the atmosphere, ended up watching the strange shadows from the Neem tree.

Just for fun.
