Hi,
Its been after a very long time that I am actually going to post something on my own blog this is really funny I had opened this blog around 8 months back thinking that I will post a lot of my thaughts but then I dont know why havent I done that I have had a lot of things going in my mind a lot of things I tried to do but eventually nothing went according to what I had planned I guess that is what is called LIFE. Life is the best teacher in your life it is life which teaches you the most. Let me start out by telling how did racing actually got in my mind, its not only about racing in my life but it is racing that brings a meaning to my life and gives me a chance to experience all the things that is there.
I was very young when I used to get fascinated seeing Local Buses and video coach buses I used to wait for hours in the night to watch a video coach bus just to see the TV inside the Bus.Then I used to play for hours alone in my garden with a brick which used to be a car and I used to draw a lap on the mud and used to play with that brick for hours and hours, I still didnt knew that this is how it actually happens in racing that the race cars have to actually complete a lap. It was due to my elder brother that I started watching F1 when I was 11 and kept on following it until it really started getting into my mind. I used to dream a lot about racing that someday I will drive an F1 car but that time practically it was not possible so I used only dream for Fun which I used enjoy a lot. I have been day dreamer since my childhood, have taken a lot of scoldings because of dreaming all the time, I never had big bunch of friends although the few that I had rarely I used to play with them because most of the time I used to be busy either playing in my garden in the mud or some other garden in the mud with the brick or the rest of the time playing cricket or playing with a plate kept on my bed with my slippers kept upside down which I used to use it as brake acceleration and clutch so in total 3 slippers and a stick which I used to use it as a gear.
I always had this thing going in my mind from my childhood of not living a normal life the way I had seen people living including my own parents not living normal doesn't mean living a celebrity life but rather to do something out of this life do something that people will remember me do something that something good will come out of it for myself for others to the whole world which is what actually kept me away from getting involved with other activities like going behind girls, hanging out with friends which I did for sure but not on a regular basis, it was not until I was 13 I actually started talking with lot more people. My childhood was awesome for me it gave me all I ever wanted in every way, I still remember catching a gold fish near my house when it had rained in the pot hole water, I had kept that fish for few days but it died later, I still remember catching butterflies for hours running behind them. Going in big gardens and stealing small plants from there, it was awesome. Wait for my next post on childhood. The best part of everyones lives not everyones actually lucky ones like us who are luck enough to have a proper childhood are the best days of our lives.
Many Thanks,
