A Driving Lesson

I'm about to discuss something different than I usually do. Though the usual stuff is also bizarre, but that's just a happy coincidence. What will be the best way to stop a car safely and quickly, if you are at a high speed and it suddenly becomes a matter of life and death? Let's suppose you are driving at a speed of 60kmph and suddenly something(or someone) comes in front of you. Assuming you don't have a vehicle with power breaks, what shall be the sequence of events to slow down the car, possibly make it come to a halt? Normally people have a reflex of pulling clutch first, putting off the leg from the throttle and then applying the break. That's decent choice to do but that's only if the vehicle is in controllable speeds, i.e. near 40kmph. What will you do if your speed is too much and you are to stop? Think. It a matter of life. What can you possibly do to make sure everyone is safe. Think. Think. Let me give you a hint. It's just a chan

The Door Closed on Us

An end beautifully portrayed: I saw you today. You were on the other side of the road, all smiles, and holding hands, about to enter a cafe. And I felt the crowd around me scrutinizing my every move. You might have seen me, or perhaps you didn't, but you turned around and I saw how beautiful you have grown over the years. You were no more a girl, but a lady; and the red blush of your cheeks suggested that you were in love. And I should have been heartbroken at this. Not because you were happy, but because I wasn't its cause. But, I wasn't. I wasn't and I never felt so free before. You walked into the cafe and the door closed behind you and with it the door closed on us , and I wasn't in love anymore. -credit for this Scribblious: Angkur Sharma
