Biker


It was winter when i came in here, used to see just cars everywhere, not poeple. I guess here there are as many no of cars as there are people or may be more than that.
Used to always ask my colleague would'nt people ride bikes here??, u can atleast see someone, inside car u hardly makeout the presence.
As cold winters passed away and summer arrived, from early March i started seeing people riding their bikes. The bikes here are too stylish and even the rider would have dressed up to meet up the style.
One fine friday, it was 2pm in the afternoon and we were in our office doing the usual work. I had planned to give my driving written test, went and informed Hemant that we would be out for an hr or two and wld be back by 5. He was fine with it, but informed to make it by 4:30 as we had a meeting. Me and my memory until my reminder pops up i hardly recollect such things. My small sister tells me you have programmed your brain like that, just to remember things you like, you reprogram and you should recollect. hmmm may be she is right, i hardly put in my effort in remembering such things.
We both left towards the DMV center, we had a long queue out there and it took almost an hr before my turn came. Gave my test, got my IP and we left from there back to office. We were running shofrt of time as it was already 4:13 by then and its atleast half an hr journey back.
We got stuck in a signal, when maneesha asked me to see the guy on the bike right behind us. I just tried to adjust the rear view mirror and take a glance of him. He was in a sports sort of a bike, colored yellow, very stylish, wearing a helmet. So could see only his eyes and a part of his face. He had observed us and as soon as we gals giggled, did a thums up. Maneesha sitting next to me just lifted out her hand. Now he drove beside us by my side came in front and got into the right most lane( which whne entered you have to take a right turn ). He had wore black gloves and on his blue jeans had wore some black threay attachment, i dont know what do they call it, overall had dressed up as if he was leaving for some adventure. He looked back gave a smile, bent forward, lifted both his legs jumped n sat back once again on the seat . Then drove towards the left in front of us even when the lights were RED got to the side lane took a U turn and returned to where we were but in the opposite direction. Now by this time both of us had gone flat on him. He looked great and the way he reacted was very cool. Usually i hate when guys do such stupid stuff but this guy was an exception, r rather he did with style so i had nothing to comment just compliment out r may be i was just an obeserver n my brain had gone nuts for a while and were not working
He looked at us to see are reaction and we like duffers started waving out, and by this time the lights had gone green. We drove, and both of us started feeling dumb. We both started conversing about the same and tought we could have atleast given a flying kiss for the guy u c, such a stupid reaction from our side, may be if we wld have done that would have got to see more of his stunts he he he. Anyways we just tought we learnt something today, we could use it the next time .
We both had our eyes behind for a while, but were in extreme mood of screaming out. I called up hemant as it was 4:28 n we needed arnd 15 mins atleast to reach there, when i got to know the meeting got postponed to Tuesday. I was damn happy now, we got some additional time to freak out. I was in no mood to sit @ my desk for work but sat there. Had almost done my work but here we have the 8.5hrs polcy ( i dont understand when work is done why people crib for physical existece for fixed hrs ) so i had to stay back for atleast anther 3 hrs. Desktop decouple project had to be installed this week, to migrate us on to a different LAN and we were asked to logoff of our systems when we leave. At 5pm decouple team members came to our cubicles and asked to leave for the day, as they had planned to do few things before hand. I had hardly had got into my seat, Now i was more than happy to handover my system and leave for the day as i wouldnt have been any productive sitting there. We left by 5:10 but both of us were still in the same mood remembering the biker.
After this i have seen many, but this guy is someone who would be remembered. "BIKER" .
