A Profile

Profile of the Helmet:

1. To achieve extra stiffness, extra magnesium layers were 'baked' into the corners of the helmet

2. Steam up resistant. Works just like the heating of the rear window in a car.

3. The metal fittings for the strap are made of super light titanium.

4. The rev counter in the helmet. Five green LED's, two red ones. Connected to the rev counter on the steering wheel.

5. An active carbon filter saves driver from inhaling the exhausts. He can always inhale clean air. Can be switched off if necessary.

6. Plug for the pit to car radio (headphone and microphone). Extra wiring for the rev counter and the cable for the visor heating.

7. Also fire resistant. No flames can enter the helmet from the top.

8. An invisible funnel (size adjustable) catches the oncoming wind, which is then distributed via channels beneath the helmet (blue arrows). 50 little holes are cooling driver's head. The rest of the air is directed to his nose.

9. The outer shell was aerodynamically adapted to the new 2002 Ferrari F1 ca. The helmet consists of 12 layers in total.



and yea...by the way..thats Michael Schumacher's helmet!!

Hows Life....

always a good question....

so..how it is actually.??..let me see.

kick myself out of bed somehow someway at around 7.30-8 in the morning....rush to office by 9-9.30....take care of daily stuff at work...few breaks in between in which go downstairs with other teammates...smokers grab their sutta ..they actually always remind me of the world famous sutta song..non-smokers enjoy nimbu-paani.

somehow someway get the work completed by evening...rush back home....cook some food....tired like hell....try studying for a while..and then drop dead again....

repeat telecast next day!!same routine..!!

so how is life actually.??...

...yawwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnn..!!!!time to drop dead!!

Overtime

back in time!!

was riding back home after work.....went into a traffic light....timer showed 60 seconds to green....a car came by....music on...volume on top....but i didnt mind this time around...heard that song after quite a long time.....took me back in time for those 60 seconds.....

One love for the mothers pride
One love for the times we cried
One love gotta stay alive.... Oh I will survive

One love for the city streets
One love for the hip hop beats
One love oh I do believe
One love is all we need

the light goes green.....am home!!

Bourne Again!!

He lost his identity......



He got it back and proved his supremacy!!



Now he is issuing an Ultimatum...and we are going to receive it...SOON!!

The Crippler is gone!

He will be missed in the ring!

Creativity at its best...

was going through two TV ads, they are quite contrast in nature.....but beautiful in their context.

One is like many years old......and one is the latest one!!

The caliber one was quite filmy....and the free biking one is inspired from a sport called free running!Remember that on-foot chase sequence in Casino Royale!!

Same Story....Same Story!!

Came across this article ......

A Famous Crash ( No bikes involved)

Windows 98 crashing on Live TV

A Crash

The biker checks in at the security counter.....gets his token......puts it in his pocket....gives the throttle a little twist and helps the bike into the curvy ramp...enters first basement......approaches the straight ramp to get to the second basement.....nice and easy......no aggressive moves.....gets to the ramp....moves down smoothly..reaches the second basement....one more floor to go......takes a sharp U after landing on second.....approaches another straight ramp to get to the final basement , the third one.....the one he calls ...devil's basement......turns into the ramp....no one in front ....nice and easy....smooth.......completes the ramp...makes a slight turn to get to the parking bay.....on finish of the turn suddenly a car comes in his vision....something happens.....brakes hard......the front wheel totally dies.......the front part of the two wheeler sways with an angle.....the bike makes a nose dive....the biker goes down with it.....lets the bike go...falls flat..eyes closed.....the bike drags itself a bit and collapses next to him........

he doesnt remember what was he thinking at that time......and the car that appeared in his vision was some 50 meters away from the point of crash.....may be he was not paying attention....may be he was lost in some other thoughts and did what a biker should never do, grabbing the front brakes....
he survived....
minor scratches here and there......
on the bike too!! damn!!

WWE Experience

Haven't been writing about my last trip to UK...so here it is.....
me and bro went for a 1.5 day trip to London....well...actually there was no plan of that traditional site seeing ...on a double decker....but something else........

Venue : Earls Court Arena, London

Event : WWE RAW

Atmosphere: have to feel it yourself, and after couple of pints....well.....you know what i mean...

and there is a very big difference in what we get on TV for two hours and what actually happens in the arena.

Tere Bin

A lovely song.....quite an old one .....was a part of rabbi's first album along with the "bulla" song....but recently has gained some poularity with release of "Delhi Heights"....doesnt sound like a deep song....but it actually is one....

tere bin /besides you
sanu sohnia /my love
koi hor nahio labhna /i shan't find another
jo dave /who'll give
ruh nu sakun /peace to my soul
chukke jo nakhra mera /and indulge me
ve main sare ghumm ke vekhia /i have gone and seen it all
amrika , roos, malaysia /america, russia, malaysiana
kittey vi koi fark si /there wasn't any difference
har kise di koi shart si /they all had some condition
koi mangda mera si sama /some asked for my time
koi hunda surat te fida /some were fascinated with my face
koi mangda meri si vafa /some demanded my fidelity
na koi mangda merian bala /none wanted my demons
tere bin /besides you
hor na kise /no one else
mangni merian bala /wanted my demons
tere bin /besides you
hor na kise /no one else
karni dhup vich chhan /shall shade me in the sun
jiven rukia /(the) way you paused
si tun zara /slightly
nahion bhulna /i shan't forget
main sari umar /all my life
jiven akhia si akhan chura /you said, looking away
"rovenga sanu yad kar" /"you shall weep in my memory"
hasia si main hasa ajeeb /i laughed a strange laugh
(par) tu nahi si hasia /but you didn't
dil vich tera jo raaz si /you had a secret in your heart
mainu tu kyon ni dasia /why didn't you tell me
tere bin /besides you
sanu eh raz /none shall tell this
kise hor nahion dasna /secret to me
tere bin /besides you
peerh da ilaaj /what druid
kis vaid kolon labhna /has the cure to my ills
milia si ajj mainu /i found today
tera ik patra /a note of yours
likhia si jis 'te /on which you had scribbeled
tun shayr varey shah da /a varis shah couplet
park ke si osnu /upon reading which
hanjnu ik duliya /a teardrop fell
akhan 'ch band si /what was locked in the eye
seh raaz ajj khulia /was revealed today
ki tere bin /that other than you
eh mere hanjnu /these tears of mine
kise hor /won't be kissed by
nahio chumna /none else
ki tere bin /that other than you
eh mere hanjhu /these tears of mine
mitti vich rulnha /will wither in the dust

Kosi

Thats the river bed of Kosi. Had never been so close to that river. It flows right through the jungle i.e. Jim Corbett National Park and as the locals say, it closes down everyhting in rainy season.




Would love to see this river in rainy season, but its not advisable, you see!!

A Morning!

.....it was a sunday......!!..... couldn't sleep properly that night....i dont know why...?!!...so woke up at around 5.30 AM.......its hell lot of early on my standards...:-)......!!......had nothing to do .........so just took off for a early morning spin on the highway...!!.......





Empty roads....

......

Much Less Traffic

.....

Newly opened flyovers

.....

chilly wind

.....

street lights are still on

.....

and then......

.....

i can see the sun rising on the horizon.......

.....

1971

It was created some 35 years ago.

Not many have seen it.

But every indian can recognize what this is....by reading it just once!
