catchin schumaker

schumaker .... presumably known for wat else?????? nothing but articulate driving... don panic its not biography r pedia's speaking his laurels.. still figurin yes its abt my driving...title "catchin schumaker" is actually copyin his driving hooooo... can see wrinkles in ur forehead.. nothing way big, plainly starting a car as him will surely make me good driver...

travel junkie always longing for long drive but not on sun killin noon... mild sun on its hide n seek play wit clouds, roads trashy not wit foul smellin debris instead slightly tanned shredded leafs n air filled with smells of roses ...heaven who can say no tis drive ...tough luck for me taken drive but not as tis...

wit love for tis driving my learnin startd in 10 std..pampered by parents during my trips got d chance to sit beside r behind drivers seat n njoy...as all kids only experience in drivers position was simply turning out steering wit zooooo zoooooo sound given out by me instead of car...it was on day 1 during driving lessons sat on riding point n turnd d key on ... sound was pleasnt but wit faster pumping heart n nervous hands it sounded lik lion roaring... it was very basic on clutches,brakes n gears...oops no improvement..days rolled on...wit controls fixed evn to guide n property (car) not yours what you ave to worry for!!!!

tutor is same being in acedamics r driving.... itching us wit rules n disciplines...with jitters thinning slowly classes got intersting....wit student tag attached there cant be place without hard words aimed at you...lesson was to change four gears quickly possible...wit concentration loaded fully in downshifitng though eyes wandered the road not sharp enough to catch the speed breaker...car grazed it ... pitty tutor as speed was too high for braking...

day out in heavy traffic!!!!wit two wheelers racing to cover all visible spaces time to learn the virtue of clutch n brake...bein a beginner not every time u win to move the car without restarting...raising to cover the lean space rather to cover distance..hardest time was move the vehicle in fly over with dead speed..tis time not me but my guide sweated(obviously for her job n owners car)..wit ppl aching for breathe slopes of fly over was truly challenging .. car almost was in wheels of truck... close shave but escapd..though hand signals were dying out schools r too nostalgic in educating us with good old values... in heavily loaded roads n two wheelers riding in every way possible she insisted on hand signal.. wit hand waving out i turned my bak to check safety of my arm..the moral was car can b repaired not ur hand...nothing serious tutor managd it.. reverse gears n climbing the slope is killers of all hardship.. i no wit tese mastered effort it will take jus 100 years to catch r copy schumaker ( be optimistic...)

wit all these meticulous learning oops.. sloppy work compltd my job... aftr six year break up wit no practice done startd to work frm begining...toiled wit reverse gear..tis time dedicated working ( 10 days)suceeded somehow. tuk d license.now all in my own .. yes self driving.. wit my brand new chevy spark..safe drive!!!!!

love for reading

During my school dayz i wasnt persistent reader.. i read in bits n pieces n still i remeber whenever im into library hr ( bcoz its compulsory to attend it) i go in search of sum nice scrumptious fotographd books wit little to read... Noddy was my fav as it holds only min pages nice big cartoons n hardly few lines to observe...to all wonder evn at my 12 std i read noddy but cartoons books werent my love ... it was honest way to pass time in compelled hr.. my dad used to read lots of weekly magzines , 3 different newspaper dailyn lots of stuff... lukin at him i no i want to read but still cant take to longer session... always interupted n distracted in lots of ways... but onething for sure, i no tis passion to read is lurking deep within me... only waiting for auspicious time to blossom , combined with hindhu rituals were flowers festoons hanged over, turmeric dipped rice spreaded,placed above is pot tied with criss cross threads filled with coconut water untied flowers spilt all over the prayer room to mark a begining of new journey ( its jus kidding) hopefully its only for fun as it din start with rituals ...

college life is were i started tis lovely pleasant passion... i always get attracted to controversial news.... in books The Da vinci code - Dan Brown hitted all papers n tv headlines... so startd my love wit tis book... i read only 44 chapters n as i was pupa to reading i cud nt continue it... but all those chapters had immense observations made by Brown on da vinci paintings.... of all my heart was into monalisa potrait ... his views n appreciation to it... also his xplaination on how olympics startd once in four years (which also had lots of indifference) ... managed only 1/4 of book still im trying get d book to read... though reading took-off wasnt sucessful ...
thn turned on by lukin for novels with minimum pages trust me i despeartely din look for noddy type (more picture packed ones)... it was a very short story on a women n her struggles oops forgot the author... but it touched my heart to core n frm thn it kicked off... literally i was flyin high on makin my attempt sucessful... it opened the doors of vision on how reading can actually make us happy despite its genre ...
with one sucess i wudnt want to stop it ...continued with my first novel frm chetan "one night @ call center" it was more lively,very normal nothing decorated ... above all i compltd it in two days ( interupted by college classes).... nxt book was sober romance by IITian like me he was cocoon to writing as it missed lots of contunity,somehow he finished his book so me too...
my attraction to Browns work was pernnial, jus to add food to my thirst i started with his GRT writing DECEPTION POINT --- sicence fiction ... was moved by Rachel sexton her movemnts ... it was completely packed with lots of technology, his work on metor ... how most trusted agency lik NASA made big blunter which was cleanly hidded ...array of mistakes analysed to reval the truth.... after completing the book truely i jus saluted the man of brains( DAN BROWN)
Happenly i came to read sidney sheldon ... my first book on his work was "windmills of the God"... it was classy art ... it talked lot abt ambassorship, farmers n mostly how women faced horrors n fought hard to win....thn again went on wit nother book "RAGE OF ANGELS" by him....when i was in middle of the book... impressed by his work i searched for his name in browser .... it laid out all his works ... to my suprise i came to no all his work will only have women in lead role(hats off for his trust on so called weaker gender) ... back to "RAGE OF ANGELS" it was super exciting story on lawyer n her profession ( Jennifer parker).... it opened up my mind on how lawyers have ability to win cases with minimum proof ... to my shock its not only proofs mattered but also our gesture to judge which is more needy to win...
read few more books lik "FIVE POINT SOMEONE",yaar amma( tamil one usual senti story) ... now im bak to Brown with his DIGITAL FORTRESS...as of now yet to complete ( jus started week bak)...
with my liitle xperince in reading i can assure its cool super visionary world... its takes us to live unimaginable life... its roller coaster ride... its teaches lots of things... its not with movies wer u laugh n cry along...modestly books evn do take us wer movies cant.. short lived life but remembred for years ... it makes us creative n think differntly ...HAPPY READING
