It was 12th Jan, 2014, I was in Vidhan Bhavan, Mumbai to attend the Parx Supercars Show but I was pissed off. On the front and the biggest counter the Lords had arrived but the crowd was not ready to move away. I made my way to the other end to some not so popular cars [according to me]. I clicked a few photos as I swore against those media personnel who could go near the cars and yet clicked pics with their crappy mobiles.
[Lord = Lamborghini]
I had enough of it. I moved out and pushed myself through the crowd of nerds with DSLRs and hot Mumbai girls. None of them made any sense to me. Finally as I reached the barricade with my Adam's apple right on the sharp tip of the barricade threatening to kill my life, I saw Lord Aventador, standing there in his royal aggressive stance. My heart was racing for my dream was right in front of me. I quickly clicked a snap and was basking in its glory just when my eyes fell on Lord Gallardo - The Superleggera, The Chrome, The Trofeo and The Twin Turbo.
I rushed to the other side of the parking lot to try to feel them even closely. I tried my level best to lay my hands on them but I failed. I had to argue with so many people not wanting to let go off their positions on the barricades but I eventually succeeded in getting a nice position very close to the Lords. However my hands still couldn't reach them so I had to content myself by clicking snaps.

After 11 when the rally started, I joined the crowd standing right besides the path meant for the cars. Each car would come to us, halt for a few seconds revving the engines and then going away. I was looking for the Lord. And there it was the Gallardo Twin Turbo, revving and approaching us. It would be better to say if I say that it was roaring like a raging unleashed beast. Its single rev was enough to suppress the noise of the crowd and even to permanently damage the ear drums. The atmosphere was heated as the Lord showed its prowess.
I knew this was the moment, I pushed the guys in front of me and as soon as the beast came near I run my hands on it. It was electrifying. I was on cloud nine. I had finally felt the Bull, the beast, the Lord. But more was coming. A few minutes later, Lord Chrome came in, followed by Lord Trofeo and then Lord Superleggera. I did the same for all of them. And then came the Beast of the beasts, The Mighty Aventador. Its sharp eyes made me weak at knees, its roar made me shiver and the moment I actually ran my hands over its body, a chill went down my spine. I had never felt anything like that before. Smooth yet coarse, streamlined yet tough. I was on a high.
After the rally we caught the glimpses of a few cars speeding past us. Of course it is needless to mention that we heard the Orange Twin Turbo Gallardo coming towards us from almost a mile away and within a blink of an eye it was gone. We rushed to the venue to get the one more glimpse of the cars. I decided to wait at the gate as I knew any moment the cars would set off as the show would get closed. This time the crowd was wilder and the security guards and bouncers were doing the best to keep them away from the cars.
As I stood there sweating and fighting to stay as close as possible to the path I hear the Chrome roaring. It slowly moved towards the exit shining in the sun nearly blinding us. It came closer and closer to me. Just then I pushed the bouncer with all my strength and the next moment I was right in front of the car. It stopped. I hurriedly bent down on my knees and kissed the beast! I kissed the emblem on the hood as the bull revved harder as if to warn me to move aside. I did, but not before kissing it two more times! The crowd was dumbstruck seeing me pulling off the feat. i quickly escaped as the guard tried to catch me.
I didn't give up because of him. In fact when it was the time for the Superleggera, The Trofeo and the Aventador I again jumped in the middle not bothering if the car would run over my feet I kissed them all. I am still on a high since that day and I'm running short of words to describe my happiness and contentment. That was the most thrilling, exciting, adrenaline filled and intense moment of my life. I KISSED MY DREAMS!
CHEERS!
