The bike race...
Probably it is the first time that i am getting feel of, what one may call after-effects of virtual reality in real life. Not a very avid game (read computer game), however car and bike racing games have been my regulars. Tis this regularity that started playing on mind my mind when i was off on a bike(passion+) with my wingie (on another bike-splendor) to a certain destination (Azad Hall of Res.). Before I could fully realise, both of us (may be unsconsciously) started racing down the kgp roads (heavily hurdled by speed breakers, goddamnit cudn't go above 80 kmph).
Taking neat corners had been my forte in motoracer (tm) and NFS, However this time around, my opponent was also doing good. The race was nearly neck to neck ( i lost all the corners, however passion+ happens to be better bike, so could always catch up). In the virtual arena, I have always been better than my wingie in the same. So, in the last corner, when I unconsciously (in the heat of the moment) applied my VIRTUAL experience, I was lucky to escape a major skid (and may be a major accident !). Net result, wingie beat me to reach the destination first and i just had a scare of life.
Stupid story, I may be telling. But, it made me aware, mind could play games... without my consent.
