scariest 4 seconds of video i've ever seen

this is one of the scariest videos i've come across on youtube. seriously it WILL send shivers down your spine. makes you think about lots of things doesn't it. things like how precious life is and how we simply take it for granted sometimes, and even things like how much impact can a mere 4 seconds of video can have on you. i say this shud be aired on tv to teach people how dangerous it is to cross railway lines.



a train travelling at about 130 kmph travels about 40 meters or 120 feet every second.
So if you're coolly crossing a railway track thinking its your every day street and take about 3 seconds to cross the track, even if the train is a 100 meters away, u cant make it! now if thats something you find hard to swallow, you will also end up crossing the track like that without looking both sides.

Maha shivratri festival

Its a festival celebrated widely in india. So went to a temple with my parents at 2000hrs. Yeah even i was wondering how we can go to a temple at night.but looking at the crowd here it looked like i was the only one having that thought. Anyways it took us 2 hrs standing in the queue to see the idol. I couldn't really see anything and i don't see any point in seeing it either. The thing is i don't really believe in religions. Only reason i went was coz my mom said that we're going to a temple and i didn't refuse today coz i thought it would be nice opportunity to admire architecture and learn about people. You always learn something being outside. The worst thing was a board outside one of the temples saying 'non hindus not allowed' . It was really funny. As if there was some bar code on my face being used to check people entering. These are exactly the things which make me hate religions. They're not ways to bring people together and make then live in peace, instead they're being used as a nice way to make money by most. in fact i think buddhism may be the only religion (that i know) of which doesn't have violence in its history. The only religion i know of which actually teaches peace. How can religions like christianity and hinduism and islam teach about peace if violence has always been part of their history from as long as they've existed?

saarang '07 - IIT Saarang - rock show

went for rock show in saarang '07, IIT madras. my first live rock concert and that too with all my closest friends in college, all of them. actually i was the only one among them who listened to rock bands and western music but now i think all have become fan of rock lol. they've even started asking me songs so they can hear more. two bands who came to perform were merzin, a French band from Brittany, France, and junkyard groove a rapidly growing band from Chennai. heres a small clip from the night, its part of merzin's performance.

must have been the strangest gas pedal

On the way to home after spending some time with my friends on besant nagar beach, my friend and i decide to take an auto. suddenly our auto stops after travelling 20 meters and the auto driver goes on the back (where the engine is) to check. while we were sitting inside thinking whether to dump this auto and catch another one, he suddenly pulls out a wire from behind. and tells us that theres some problem in the accelerator wire connected to the engine which he had just replaced the same day. but hey! no need to worry. he can still drive it! he ties that long wire to a rod inside the auto and uses one hand to accelerate and one hand to steer the vehicle, all the way to our place lol . and thankfully we do reach our home alive *phew*
