I can Flyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another one of my daring but nevertheless stupid adventurous stunts. We have a set of 12 stairs in front of our faculty. I challenged Imad to jump over them. I thought he would chicken out, but to my amazement he ran and jumped over them and had quite a hard impact on the floor. This was quite an amazing feat. And now when Imad Theeta did it, I knew that its too late and I should be the one next. So I went back came in running and somehow couldn't make it to full speed, I was only at 75% of my max speed when I jumped. Even then, when I was airborne, I felt that I could make it with sufficient clearance. It was amazing for a moment I actually was flying that is until the impact. I landed on my right foot, lost balanced, slammed my right knee into the pavement rolled and slammed my left elbow on the floor, but I was alive. In fact I thought that I'd never felt better. The thought of doing something that you wanted to do and thought was'nt possible just materialized before my eyes. One of my happiest days in GIK. The only problem was that I could get up. After two efforts I finally got up on the third one after quite a bit of rest and examining everything for a fracture. Thank God there was none. I practically limped all the way back to the hostel and after that the swelling came in. now I walk slower than a snail, have a swollen right foot, a swollen right knee and a left calf that hurts like hell and that'll recover in around a week. *Sob* I'll really miss GIK.

And I'll really miss you Imad, and I'll miss all the crazy things we could have done.

Q)Todays blog trivia. What stupid and insane cool stunt will Imad and I-T pull off next if there is really a next time:-
  1. Jumping off a bridge onto a moving truck.
  2. Jumping off a moving tractor onto a bridge.
  3. Climbing mount Everest in a wet suit.
  4. Jumping off the top of LOGIK(GIKI's very own clock tower) onto the back of Ghora
