Long Drive

Image
Long Drives It has been quite some time since I wrote something here, I guess the motivation was a bit off with other things in life bothering. People with the slightest idea about me know how much I love automobiles and driving. And just the past week, I embarked on a much-awaited drive. A 1300 mile drive covering bits and parts of 6 states in the United States. As the saying goes, sometimes the best therapy is a long drive and good music. Well, it is true in my case, driving has always been a getaway for me.  Img Source I always try to find analogies between life and everything else. This drive had me thinking about two things. A planned journey always takes us from point A to point B. Life is all about trying to get from that point A to B. We tend to use a map as a guide for the journey but at times, what if we tend to switch off the navigation and take the road by intuition. We have many people around to guide us to get to our destination in life, but there are times,

Chicken-Hearted

Chicken-Hearted It's been ages since I sat down to write something. Brave-Hearted, having a brave heart i.e. having or showing mental or moral strength to face danger, fear or difficulty. What is chicken-hearted? It is kind of an antonym of brave-hearted, cowardly; easily frightened. Shouldn't we be talking about being brave then?  People all around the world try to motivate you through quotes, speeches, stories. But most of them try to empower you with positivity. Rarely do people talk about the negative feelings in us. Why not empower with positivity through something that is negative. The universe does attract the opposites, right? They say all it takes is one person to believe in you. But at times in the phases of life, even though there is more than one person who believes in you, do we have the same belief in ourselves? Some instances in life break our faith in ourselves. We start doubting ourselves. A sense of fear instills. You really judge yourself whether

Audi R8 V10 Plus Dealer Edition || In-Depth Review

Image
The AUDI R8 is my all-time favorite supercar. The love is such that, I have 7 Audi R8's in my collection so far and another one is coming soon. Since most of my collection is back home and I have access to a very few models that I purchase here, I haven't been uploading many reviews. Let's get straight into the extensive review of the model. The Audi R8 needs no introduction since I have talked a lot about it in many of my previous blog posts. It has a V10 engine with a 610hp in the plus version. The scale model here is a 1:18 scale V10 plus in the beautiful vegas yellow (and my favorite shade on the R8 too). It is a dealer edition since it came in an Audi Sports official box. Though the brand is supposed to be iScale (only they had the vegas yellow version and later was discontinued), but the box clearly has Kyosho Deutschland Gmbh. Not sure if iScale is a subsidiary company. Starting with the huge plus point of this model, the paint quality. It is simply

Phase of My Writings

Image
I usually don't update posts on my blog once in a week. Some thoughts strike randomly, at times once a month and times once a year. Hence the untimely posts. Insomnia is something everyone faces, I am, right now. Some thoughts flowing through my mind. Welcome back to my blog and thanks to my friends and family for constantly encouraging in these writings. Did it ever occur to you that what you are at this point of life is because of an instance in your life a few years back?  A small flashback into my own life, as a kid (or even a teenager), I never really liked poetic stuff, writings, meaningful greeting cards, blogs or even books. I considered the textbooks were the only ones you had to read, never even completed a single book that I used to take at the library. I used to read to fall asleep and never really caught the essence of the books. Harry Potter, for example, I started reading the books only after I watched the movie and only when everyone at school was so eager

Short Story

Formalities apart, I am trying to pitch in some new thoughts into my blog and came forward with a small story. Not really a love story, but I guess it happens with everyone. Hope you enjoy reading it. Feel free to drop in your thoughts or suggestions in the comments below. It was a cold and sunny January day. A usual day to work, wake up at 10 in the morning, get ready and rush towards the bus stop trying to be on time. It was like a routine day and as always, waiting at the stop with the headphones on (trying to avoid unnecessary contact with people #introverts). The bus raced down the road and came to halt at our stop. Like every day, the lookout for the window seat was on, because #privacy. The bus then proceeded to the next stop. The ____ mind always searches for a known face in the crowd or maybe it just searches for the beauty in people. All covered in the winter wear, a known face (vice versa was not applicable) boarded the bus and was looking around for a seat. She looked
