Well, this one z a Toast !!!
A toast to my grandparents (nana-nani)...
And this is why ...
Ever fancied sitting on that biiiggg roller coaster ride. The one that gets you to the top most point possible and then lets you fall freely crackin the nuts out of you! And then the one that swirls all degrees and upside down ? And the one in which you float at 2-3 feet from your seat in the air grappling for your breaths as the giant coaster whizzes past !
And the notices that could read "Small Children, Elderly, Heart Patients, etc Stay Away".. And would you foray into that unchartered territory ? Maybe yes, But not if you are 70-75 years old !!!
Thats exactly what my grand parents did...
On their trip to Singapore, they went to this famous amusement park and enjoyed all these chilling rides which a person of 20 years less age would have dreaded to embark on !
The authorities first warned them of the perils, but they wouldnt budge... my granny said "We are not allowed in India too, let us do this; we are completely fit for this".. and whoa they were allowed at their own risk. None of the other accompanying members (most of them senior citizens, as the trip was for senior citizens !) dared to do that .. And Surely, None of we grand children or their children were around on their seista trip to Singapore; else this wouldnt have been possible.
They completed the ride, unscathed and enjoyed it thoroughly. ONly to find a whole crowd of locals and tourists waiting there down to greet them after this feat of sorts !! They clapped, cheered and praised the couple for their fitness, young-heartedness and attitude !! And the managers of the park too joined in and offered a free ride once again !..
Setting an example, for all their future generations (and that's us! ) .. must say. One hell of an example and expectation ahead...
Twists at 100mph, upside down antics, free wheeling, para gliding, and the monster coaster ! Wanna do it ? Feel fit ?
Maybe ! ?
Well, they did it all...
and thats them ....
ahh.. caught doin a mental exercise this time !! Click !
