Hi stackers!
Hope you're enjoying your weekends!
I mentioned in an earlier post #658644 about my trip to Delhi got postponed and I got a two days off which was over yesterday. For today, it was once again a lot of travel and lot of phone calls.
However it was Sunday, I had to go because It's not a holiday when you run a logistics business. As they say, we can stop anything but not the supply chain!
New Delhi is 240 KMs (160 miles) from my town. I had a very normal meeting scheduled for there at 1 PM. In the morning, I started early at 7 AM and reached there by 11: 30, had lunch and then attended the meeting for 1 and half hour. Then, I went shopping a little bit in search of some Dog stuff as my brother asked me to buy for our dog. All done by 4 in the evening and I started to drive back home.
I was driving at normal speeds and suddenly a thought crept up my mind. I thought of testing speed for at least once in my life. TBH, I'm a very cool driver who drives at very normal speeds. But, it was as it was. I pressed the accelerator of my 1200 CC, 3 cylinder small car for the first time after I had bought it last year on August 10. I reached 80 to 140 KMs an hour within a minute and added 40 more in another minute. I was driving the car at almost 180 KMs an hour for the first time in my life. I must confess, it felt scary, not because the car had any issues but these are Indian roads with too much traffic. However it was an expressway yet felt like it was too much. I could hardly drive at that speed for 2 minutes and gradually slowed down to 110 - 120 kms range. Still, it was fast enough. I turned on the cruise control at 110 and let the car ride on ADAS for a while without touching the steering. It went all smooth and surprisingly, I was back to my home in 2 hours and 10 minutes!
To remind you all, in the morning the same journey took me 4 and a half hour! I accept I did something crazy today and I believe everyone has done some crazy stuff at some point in his life.
I've shared mine. Now it's your turn to share,
What's the craziest thing you've ever done?
