Exactly what are we talking about...

Perhaps you already were thinking about that question while reading through the other posts...

Lots of topics, nothing related to anything else... and the topics themselves flowing from the topic to nowhere and back to the topic...

Well, I face the same problem... If any of my 0 readers suddenly ask me, "Hey man, what exactly is your blog about"

"Hmmm, let me think"

Ctrl+Alt+Del... Okay we shall not ask that question again.

I assume that they are thousands of blogs out there in blogosphere... And I could feel happy of the fact that many blogs are never being read at all... sometimes not even by the person who posted them...

It has become a kind of social diary for a few... and I think I have stayed clear of that path so far...

I have also wanted to start a 'technical' blog... but have not started yet... because it might end up... Ctrl-C-V'ing tech news around the I'net

Another dream is creating a website... having thousands of links... to very good tech articles...

Now that needs time...

These great idea come from a person who has filled up his hard disk and knows that most of it is full of junk but is too lazy to organize it...

So what is my answer to that long subject line I have typed...

Perhaps someday, someone stumbles into this and identifies himself/herself with it and says... "I am impressed", "I am a regular reader", "When is the next post" etc etc...

Anyway, that is not the sole objective... some crazy thoughts always run through this head... and so it is a nice idea to put at least a hundred-thousandth of it in text

So... got to leave now... Keep waiting for the next post...

A game for me...

Hardcore and Softcore gamers are requested to excuse me as this has nothing much related to pure gaming... it is about sims... driving games...

Racing games have been fun for me... and those related car games... NFS, GTA etc...

Coming back... I like these 4-wheeled machines... cars, trucks etc

And I know that I can't own one as of now... so how about driving virtually

The incredible game NFS has many sportscars modelled and it was fun... but it was core racing...

Moving over to trucks... I have played 18 Wheels Of Steel... an amazing truck game...

I am actually waiting for a much more realistic car experience...

Exterior, interior and driver action... and the sound too...

You could get the feel of being in a Ferrari Enzo as well as that luxury effect as a Rolls-Royce...

Nice dream... the ideal driver sim...

You could have a brief story-line too... Race to this point or take the Queen out for a ride or something...

And I could go aon and on...

Hey... to enjoy all that... I would need a fine graphics card in the first place... Gotta buy one...

So there... I have given an idea for a great game...

So long... see you...

P.S - Let me see how many such posts I can put up...

One day on the way to school...

I have generally kept away from conveying anything personal about me or the years that have passed by me... Most of the posts have been about thoughts that have crossed my mind...

This is a small walk down memory lane... younger days in school

A well populated school with no suitable competition in a good radius... made the school buses a very essential need.

Buses used to keep changing in type and numbers too... as the demand increased.

There were times when we had those luxury buses and times when we had that noisy public transport buses. And yes... I also remember a few very slow buses too

But none could beat the true 'School buses'

Mostly yellow in colour... with black lines flowing across the body... they had some charm about them...

In those days... it was around the same time that all the buses from the area used to stand in front of that signal light which opened the door to 20kms of 6-lane highway freedom...

Then we used to enjoy the racing buses among the tiny cars which used to skid past or behind us...

Sounds not too much of fun... well in those days it was... and some imprints are still left here...

Similar bus - black always needn't be the color for the lines... there were buses with red lines across... fiery indeed... And one of the buses has a twin lion image on the hood... Wow

And yes lights... some buses had two pairs of lights on the front... red and orange and when they started flashing...

Last words - Should be about the best bus I have ridden in school life...

Was with a light green colour with dark green lines... awesome... I entered the bus... the bus had the AC switched on... and must have been running for quite some time because when I entered it was ...

The ride was so good... and it the bus was going all round the place stopping to pick up fellow bus-mates...

It was an intersection every 500m or so... in those small roads...

Right ahead of us... a guy in a pickup flashed his left indicator and was turning left...

Our driver was leaving from a stop and seeing the guy turning away... was calmly increasing speed...

The guy braked... perhaps a car from the cross-road... Our man who was planning to pause briefly at the intersection was not ready for this obstacle in between...

He braked... but not before we could get a glimpse of the pickup spinning and crossing the intersection and finally nudging a parked car ahead.

Our man was at a stop at the heart of the intersection. Was he too fast at the intersection? Maybe... however I was not thinking about that... One of my best rides a bus was coming to an end and I would soon have to go in a replacement bus...

After some deal of waiting... the replacement did come... no AC... it was enough to put me off mood...

He went quite fast I think... Not sure... I was thinking about the Green "Blue Bird"
