I really loved every bit of your write up and I agree to what you said that its uponevery individual to avoid an accident.
I happen to meet with an accident some time back and it was due to a huge stone lying in the middle of the road, so when I wa reading your post, I could only think about my accident.
I am not so safe rider as I do, sometime take risks and that only when I am getting late to reach somewhere and I always tell myself that I shouldnt be doing that...
But after reading your post, I will surely try to be more cautious and a responsible rider |
Takes maturity to admit when one is 'not' safe as a rider...but the same self-awareness brings along the benefit of learning. Ride long and safe...

Yes Avin.....though I did put in 'anticipation' (see the last but one para
). Hope your photography is going great guns as ever!

On roads, its you whose responsible for your safety !!!

Wise quote there Paresh...and so relevant even across the seven seas.

After all, the essence of this post is: We are responsible for our own lives, so why take chances with it!

Thanks Sarvajit...the need for a very strong sense of responsibility is the actual charm of riding. You are alone with your decisions in this match....a co-rider even a few feet away can't do anything to save you if you decide to hit a truck head-on...

No jokes, just great knowledge. That'll really ring a sense in my head while riding or whenever doing any cerebral activity, minor or major. |
Thanks spidey....it was great meeting you too. Yes...the lessons learnt from riding do percolate to the remotest corners of our life.
