The Alien World

The other day few friends have come over and we were just skipping through some channels when we saw some dangerous adventure sport, with monster trucks. That also reminded me of a program on National Geography where some one was trying to catch the largest alligator in the world. These kind of risk people were taking with their life was breathless. We were discussing how someone can be so foolish or motivated to play with their own life and try to put their head in alligator’s mouth. We finally concluded that over all people in US & Europe have a very dull life and probably the adventure sports and these kind of activities adds some excitement and spark to there dull life. That discussion ended there.

While returning back from office today I was thinking about the adventure in our life, and what kind of adventures do we indulge ourselves in. And I thinks non or rare will be the right word. While I was all in my thought a car (Honda Civic) zipped passed me very dangerously. That very moment was the moment of enlightenment for me. It was something like what Buddha must have experienced when he got enlightenment while sitting under the banyan tree. My Banyan tree was my small little car today.

Anyway, I was talking about my enlightenment today. As soon as that car passed by me, skirting through the thick traffic, I thought that we Indians don’t need any adventure sport to spice up our life, nor we need to catch any alligators for fun. We already have too much of adventure in our life. As soon as we step out from our homes in morning, we are on the roads where everyone has a monster truck, small or big, but size doesn’t matter. Each monster tries to outsmart the other monster. We play the game of testing the nerves & patience. The game is also full of surprises. The game tests your reflexes for applying breaks.

So with all this adventure part of our daily life, who really need to catch an alligator or build a monster truck! Driving or walking on our roads can be as much fun as putting your head in a crocodile’s mouth or catching a lion by its tail.
