I did something stupid today.

I did. It's not like me. I mean, yeah, everyone does something stupid in their lifetime but my reason of doing this particular thing is not associated with me. Generally.
I was irresponsible on the road, while riding a bike, with a pillion. Some of you, or even all of you might go all "Duuuude!! Ya think that's stupid? How screwed up are ya man??" but listen to me first. Usually I'm really very cautious on the road and I've even heard my father say to me, "How much more slowly can you ride, son? 😒" (He was being sarcastic, in case the emoji isn't visible.) When a father says this to his teenage son while sitting behind him on a bike, that is saying something. So why did I act irresponsibly today? And that too while having someone sitting behind me?
That girl.
I stopped my bike, right there in the middle of the road, with my head turned behind me, no regards to anyone or anything in front of me or even behind me for that matter (except the girl, of course), applying brakes on a slippery, water-soaked road which caused my bike to swerve left, then right and then left again, narrowly missing an oncoming rider; just to get one last glimpse of her for the day.
Hers could easily have been the last face that I would have seen. Ever. Isn't this the stuff that stupid road accidents are made of?
I realise that what I did today was really stupid.
Why did I do it? I've been mentally kicking myself ever since it happened. Same old story threatening to start again. Or maybe it already has!
I don't expect anything much from this story. I have already committed that mistake and have repented for it. I'm in no mood to do it again. But in order to prevent history from repeating itself and to make this experience somewhat different from the last one, I'm gonna post updates here as and when I can. Judge me all you want. Abuse me in the comments section. Tell you friends about the dumb idiot (me, that is to say) whose blog you are following just to see what stupid tricks he has been upto.
You are the audience here as much as I am.
Fingers crossed!

Update: There isn't much to tell further. The story that i was hoping to narrate didn't even take off and in some little way, I'm glad that it didn't. I would certainly have liked to see what would have happened, though. Because this one....man! I hadn't gotten along so well with anyone until now! It would have been interesting, but the fact that it's already reached the "would-have-been" stage says enough about what I've been through.
I might write about it some more sometime, going deeper, laying bare all the details, but that is a few months away at least. Certainly not now and believe me, as much as i would like to reveal everything right here and now, I'm unfortunately bound by circumstances.
Pardon me for drawing the curtains before I could even stage the play, heh.

Harry Potter Crafts #1: Advanced Potion Making by Libatius Borage (Hogwarts Potionbook)

By
While my mates and colleagues are all doing something or the other to help them get a job three years from now (or even before that, depending on the person concerned) (FYI, I'm in the first year of my Bachelor's programme as I write this post), I have been whiling my time away doing unproductive work (which effectively means that I'm doing nothing). They are building their skill sets so their resume gets laden with attractive features while I am still figuring out how to make a resume. So, these holidays, the least I could do was to complete my unfinished works if I was not going to start anything new. One of these works was a handwritten manuscript of Hogwarts potion-book "Advanced Potion Making" which Harry and friends use in their sixth year of schooling. I was always fascinated with the potions depicted in the books and movies and as a child, I used to pray for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to be real. Of course, I eventually realised that...

My Thoughts on Raji: An Ancient Epic [PC Version]

By
Raji: An Ancient Epic. Though the game has ‘Epic’ in the title, and I bought it off the 'Epic' Games store, it’s not that epic in terms of length. I finished it in 6 hours, and I did die a bunch of times in the meanwhile. Perhaps they just wanted to appease the guys behind the game engine that Raji was developed in. just a wild guess. BUT…! Raji is Beautiful. Period. I can’t say this enough. Being beautiful is this game’s selling point. Every single area of every single level is crafted with love, packed with care, and gifted to the player with a grateful smile. Raji almost shows its environments off, and quite rightfully so. It knows it’s beautiful and is proud of it. It flaunts its visual splendour and manages to divert all attention from the more ordinary elements. Now I admit here, being an Indian perhaps allowed me to connect with the game better, since it borrows heavily from Hindu mythology, and therefore had more of an impact on me. But then, there have been other...

My thoughts on Batman: Arkham Knight [PC Version]

By
  Never thought I’d reach 100% completion [Originally written on 25th Mar 2020] I have no words for this game. When I installed it long ago, just to check if it would run on my system, I was taken aback by its amazing graphics. The textures looked unbelievably real and the models, life-like. I was in the middle of completing Sekiro at that time, and so, this game took the backseat, but it still kicked a leg or two in the general direction of my driver’s seat, urging me to drop Sekiro off somewhere along the highway and give Arkham Knight a try. When I finally did start playing Arkham Knight, the foremost thing that impressed me was the rain, and the way droplets fluttered off Batman’s wings when he dived off a building to start gliding. Time and again I made him do this just to see that effect, and it satisfied me more and more every time I beheld it. I don’t even know where I should begin with this game. What should I talk about first? The graphics? The story? The gameplay? ...
