Dear Friends,
It is very enlightening to know that even FEAR can make money. A lot
of money. Humans have evolved so much that they eliminated or
controlled all their natural enemies. Apart from his own species,
nothing can threaten to kill human beings. They developed such skills
and techniques to make a tiger dance like a cat and a lion roll like a
joker (if any was lucky enough to escape the poachers). Why even the
worlds largest animal the whale also dives into the depths of the
ocean with its tail in its mouth when they see us. Only natural
disasters still remain as factors which make us fear now and then but
these are also well predicted and taken care off most of the time.
Hence humans had lost the sense of fear. But with out fear there is
no fun. So some great businessmen found the demand and designed
various games to make us scared to death. And we pay for it.
The super fast and highest roller coasters to drop you vertically at
hundred kilometers speed with turns and twists guaranteed to take the
shit out of you, the sky drops, base jumping, sky diving, the haunted
castles, the ghost stories, the horror movies, the Fear Factor, Lost
tv series and then the BUNGY JUMP. Yes fear generates billions of
dollars. The more fear the more fun and the more money.
I am not a Superman or an Indian film hero for that matter to sustain
ultimate fear and keep laughing. When I went to the kids heaven
Disney World in Orlando, it was so much fun until I boarded a roller
coaster called Space Mountain. I am not a very big fan of roller
coasters though I love speed. But since it was called Space Mountain
and showed pictures of all planets, I thought they will slowly take us
through the parade of the planets and tell us about stars. Just ate a
large chicken burger too as astronomy is a large subject and takes a
lot of time.
Inquisitive always and to be the first to explore, I took the first
seat in the 5 seat roller coaster. It started slowly but then it soon
plunged vertically into total darkness where you can see stars all
over (I don't know if they were really there or just in my mind). It
twisted, dropped, turned sharply at a high speed. The girl who was
sitting behind me started yelling spine chillingly as soon as the
journey started, I wanted to shout " chup chup arre mujhe mat daraana
meri amma". But my teeth were gripped too tight with fear all the
time until the ride ended to make any sound and I escaped like an
. Are yaar riding bolo, racing bolo ya flying boloļunspoken hero
subh kuch karsakta hun but I don't want to buy fear again. I had to
eat the same burger twice as it came out of my mouth as the ride
ended.
Be confident or act like one, no one can tell the difference. Somehow
I always managed to act confident and display a fearless look like the
TERMINATOR on my face and I never feared trying something new and
adventurous all the time. So when I came to New Zealand I found
Taupo Bungy. It is one of the best bungee jumps in New Zealand
because of its direct drop of 50metres into the green Waikato river
near the town Taupo very scary and very attractive too.
I am a hero you see so I went straight to the girl at the booking
counter and asked her to book me for a jump. She said "Very nice,
when you want to jump?". "Right now", I was about to say when I heard
"Eeeeeekkkkkkkkkkooooooooooohhhhhhhaaaaaaaa". I was confident that
somebody slipped off the cliff and died, and was about to run out when
the girl asked me again coolly "when do you want to jump?" I told her
that some one must have slipped off the cliff and fallen. She smiled
and said "No no don't worry, it's the bungy jumper". I was relieved
and said "Why these timid girls come all the way and do these things
when they are so scared?" She gave a nice smile but something behind
that smile and asked me again " Ok when you want to jump?" I was
about to say "Right now" again when I heard another death cry from a
man this time "Ooooh Godddddddd" as if he had just seen God and went
to heaven with him.
"Tomorrow", I finally managed to say gathering all my guts and trying
to act as confident as when I came in. "Today I am very busy" I
really wanted to say I wont jump but being a man and not wanting to
look frightened before that nice girl, I said that. Each jump costs
$100 that itself shows you how much fear you are buying. Then I asked
if I can see people jumping off, and went to the jumping platform to
get used to and get some more courage. But as I saw more and more
jumping and screaming to death, I was not very sure if I wanted to
show up next day.
Next day I came back not to jump but just to see more people jumping
off and screaming. I need at least that much entertainment for the
money I paid. But as she saw me, smiled and asked "Ok can you just
stand on the weighing machine please?" I involuntarily stood on the
weighing machine but told her that I am not going to jump. She smiled
sympathetically and with a marker noted my weight 54kg on my hand.
Then asked me for my belongings, nothing should be in the pockets.
Like a school boy who doesn't want to go to school but scared to say
that to his mom knowing that he will be sent anyway, I emptied my
pockets into a cover and stood there with sad and frightened face
unable to stop them from throwing me from that height.
Then she asked me to follow her to the jumping platform. The platform
itself is specially built extending to 40 feet into the air from the
vertical rock face. Another buddy reconfirmed my weight and started
making arrangements. I was looking back and forth for a chance to run
away but they closed the gate. I was not even wearing shoes. I was
just wearing my shorts and sandals. What if the rope slips off my feet
ƒ¼
She was attaching the bungee chord to my legs and seeing I was too
tensed, told me "Don't be afraid. There is an easy way to jump.
Instead of looking down and facing the depth, you just keep looking at
my beautiful face and just fall back. You will be down in no time".
I was fighting my own fear and trying to win over it and absent
mindedly said "I rather face my own fear and jump". Bang! She left
the ropes there and called "John you look after this guy" and went
away angrily. I told you she was beautiful but I was really trying to
face my own fear and win it. But now I am more scared as she might
have attached the rope to only one leg expecting to have great fun
when I hang on one leg screaming.
Then the guys came and checked everything and told me "Ok now you walk
to the edge put your hands up and jump". "Oh that's all" with a
Terminator face again. I took a deep breath as if that's my last and
slowly walked to the edge. Unlike a school boy, I always had the
chance to quit but then some part of me is saying that I should do it.
I waved at the camera and wanted to jump like Superman but jumped like
Hanuman.
Then the time stopped. I was descending only inch by inch in slow
motion. It's a free fall. It's beyond ecstasy. I actually opted to
touch the water but due to my feather light weight I could not reach
water. The first time I came all the way down, I enjoyed it in
silence. But the bungee pulls you up again a couple of times to
almost half the height giving you the same feeling all the time. Then
I started laughing like hell with fun. As soon as I was on ground, I
was running to .ļtake another jump
We should always have fear. We should respect fear. We should know
our limits. And then try to win over it and go beyond the limits.
People associate adventure with danger. Adventure is something done
under complete safety. Of course accidents do happen. But if you
compare the number of deaths in road accidents to the number of deaths
of adventurers, you will know what I mean. More safety more adventure.
When I started the world tour every body was so fear struck and said
why you want do such a dangerous thing? I always told them that I am
going to be much safer than many millions of Indian riders. As I wear
a helmet, gloves, shoes and safety gear all the time and ride
according to rules and particularly not in a hurry to reach. Where as
they never care to wear even the helmet unless they see a police man
ahead. Just a seat belt which lies on your side all the time can save
your life if an accident occurs. And if you still don't care to wear
it, you are not only putting your life at danger but you don't care
for all those who depend on you and love you. Life is so precious
and you only have one to lose with a silly avoidable mistake. So be
safe, ride safe have a lot of adventure in your life.
