Riders on the storm...Theres a killer on the road

Imagine driving on some arbit highway (...say NH205) at times close to midnight. The already crescent moon being covered by clouds after a splash of rain and you are driving towards lightning seen far off from the skies. What strikes to any NFS buff is the OST - Snoop Dogg Feat.The Doors
"Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house were born
Into this world were thrown...."

There is an added difficulty of visibility on such single lane highways during nights, caused by high-beams of vehicles from opposite direction.
"Theres a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin like a toad..."

Riding on a bike in such times one cannot emulate the adds shown for your machines for reasons known. As you are driving with so many thoughts crossing your mind something unusual is gonna happen.So what if you find a body [...human's :( ] on the highway lying across ? Panic. Yeah I know, not everyone panics and the same thing happened to us when we were driving back home (... from Tirupati on 19/06/06 at 2300hrs).
We found a man lying across the highway, luckily we didn't ride over him. We stopped to move him to the footpath as some vehicle would defy ride over him if we had left him. Though one expressed fears of touching him, we went ahead and lifted him. Beleive me the touch and the weight of the body gives you a spine chilling experience. Finally he was moved aside and a sudden flash of light over his face by some moving truck suddenly brought back our fears. Some part of his face was covered with blood, we then started observing blood and his articles on the road.
Thank god he was alive ...We went ahead to the nearby village for some help and luckily we got it.
It took more than an hour for everything to settle down. My friends [ ..Sanjay & Sai ] went to a police station as a formality to get the injured man admitted in the hospital. Myself and Rapi were farting with the locals, were also simultaneously fagging. As we got bored of the fart session we wanted to see the status of the injured man. We walked on the highway and it was still very dark, unfortunately my mobile battery was also low . As I switched on the torch in my mobile we already reached him and again we were afraid ....ufff these creatures were so chicken hearted .
After that it was usual rituals, police took him to hospital and they didn't questioned us about the usual BS. One thing to appreciate is that atleast one villager, Muthu, came forward to help us without fear of so called police investigation.
We then made some conclusions as this could be some conspiracy to kill that man as the entire set-up would look very natural on a highway, then the man was clean shaved without moustache so could be a better-off guy in a village. And a lot of vague BS just followed it. Weird thoughts like posing with the body also crossed us as flame burned the rolled up tobacco between our fingers with lips giving a shape for the smoke and thoughts.
Very rarely I go on long trips but still I faintly remember any of my previous trips except for a few . This trip I had on saturday night(...17/06/06 to be precise) was one I would remember for some time down the line for it had some ingredients of adventure.

Dissatisfied b'coz ...

I relate to success as being temporary and permanent and there is no sharp boundary separating them in many cases . Lives become boring once we're tired of heading aimlessly.
I was aimless till I got into my 2nd yr BTech. Luckily I found people then who have a good understanding of life and about what the things we do daily matter in life. Until then I lived my life like a frog in a well types ... basically the people in my life till then had a very vague understanding about what and why they do things in life & no one has enough fundaes to put all those things together.
I am also very lazy to put all my thoughts here as infinte thoughts wander in my mind when I sit down to write about things I had once thought a lot about .
