i ran faster that day...fastest in my whole life.mind was black and eyes all white."cross the bridge with all the enrgy you have " was the only thing in my consciousness.
we three including shiv n vish were comin back all tired after a trekking in the cliff near our campus.on the way back theres a railway bridge,one line bridge ..once you are in the bridge you cant walk side ways....walk straight or jump down to death.when we three came close to the bridge a train was coming from the opposite direction and we just went aside the bridge waiting for the train to pass by.as the train was approaching ....shiv just asked casualy 'if anyone can cross the bridge now i'll give you 500bugs"..
'you sure?' i am all excited. 'yes he replied'
without another moment to waste i ran hard to cross the bridge....the glimpse of the train which i felt had the only intention to hit me and fail me in the bet ...it was roaring towards me to win its might.the sound made by my footsteps on the old metal plates of bridge was louder than the noise of train's engine.
i ran faster that day...fastest in my whole life.mind was black and eyes all white.'cross the bridge with all the enrgy you have " was the only thing in my consciousness.leaving behind soul i reached past the death bridge seeing my opponent just finishing behind me...loosing.
it was not the five hundred bugs that made me run but was the instinct that pushed me to run.i enjoy my instincts,that rush of blood,that spark of a second...i love my instinct.
i dedicate this post to shiv.love you 4...me the fifth.....n us the gang
