I've been wanting to write for a while now, but the words decide to bury themselves in incoherence just as soon as I begin to try putting them down. But today I must write. I don't know exactly what the niggling doubt inside me is saying, but it grows bigger everyday, so I must ramble on a while before anything apart from nonsense appears.
Today while driving back home at midnight, I realised the Laxmi Nagar flyover is quite pretty in the dark, when there's no traffic chaos and cows trying to cross the roads. The streetlights stretch on and on into the distance, and if you take a moment to just take in the sight from a bit further away, the image will stay in your mind. I think the effect was even better today because the roads were glistening with rainwater.
I'm pretty sure whoever dares to look at me while I'm driving thinks I'm a crazed psycho. But I sing when I drive, sometimes loudly, and I must have the facial expressions down pat too. It's practice for my big award. A Grammy, preferably. Cruising at night is the most peaceful. I take my time, speed thrills me only when there's competition. When the roads are empty, I can pause, look at trees, the stars, and the moon, pretend I'm a Formula One driver when I take the turns, and sometimes leave the stearing wheel to see how far the car can go without any supervision. Yes, you need to be brave to sit with me in my car. Oh, and another thing I like doing is making sure I'm the first to zoom off when I'm in the first row at a traffic light. And if you're behind me and honking unnecessarily like a madperson, I will go oh-so-much-slower, just to piss you off. Don't say I didn't warn you.
So now that all the driving angst is out, I realise it's been three paragraphs and still the heart of the matter hasn't been reached. But maybe it's because there isn't one? Perhaps everything is the problem? I don't know. Lately, I just don't know.
(Abandoned due to sleepiness. Will be wrapped up soon, for sake of peace of mind)

hehe, that's great, more randomness is on the way :D
Finally, a woman who talks about driving and loving it. I do that first-to-take-off-at-the-lights thing too. Used to do it even on a bicycle. It's more exciting on a cycle, since you have less power than everybody else and so your timing has to be spot on. Motorbikes come close, but not nearly as exciting :)
driving hAs got to be in my top-three favourite activites in the world. without my car, i am nothing :)
