Extreme Sports

People around the world have this fascination of trying and exploring new and different adventures even if it takes them to the farthest corner of the planet.  People are that crazy. When it comes to extreme sports, the list goes on. Base jumping, bodyboarding, canoeing, cliff jumping, hang gliding, ice climbing, jet skies, kite surfing and then there is parkour or free running.

The word parkour is derived from the French word “Parcours” which means “the way through” or the “path”.  It was David Belle, a French dude, son of a Parcours Warrior and the “inventor” of Parkour.  Parkour is the act of moving from point “a” to point “b” using the obstacles in your path to increase your efficiency. Sounds like a fun game, right? The sport requires physical and mental strength to succeed. Since the game is extreme, lack of practice can be life-threatening. You need to undergo proper training else you could lose or break your bones.

That is just the minimum damage I am talking about. Parkour is another way of staying fit and burning calories. For me as a lazy individual, I can only dream of doing parkour. I would prefer a gym to workout rather than put my bones and body on the line. I would prefer to book a cab rather than running and jumping over obstacles in shorts and a sleeveless t-shirt.

To be honest, girls like guys who are free runners but free-running is not just my cup of tea.  Imagine yourself on bright sunny Sunday, you decided to go to the nearest park and impress some girls of the hood. Just as you start your show, your feet slip and you break your neck and then you have to spend a month in the local hospital. Still, want to try parkour?

Business

Why do we earn money? How foolish question right? The basic requirements of a human being: Food, shelter and clothes. To fulfil these needs, a person goes out to work. Individuals work as an employee and also run their own business in a hope to earn money, which is totally acceptable. The things start to go off when people indulge in illegal or malpractices to earn more money in less time. These practices may compromise of running a sex racket, hoarding of vegetables, dealing in drugs, doing adulteration, manufacturing fake wine, human trafficking etc.

No matter if it is practised on a small scale or large scale, something illegal will remain illegal. Rather than doing something legitimate, people continue with these lame so-called businesses. Human trafficking in and outside India has always remained a significant problem for decades. People are illegally trafficked for the purposes of commercial sex and forced labour.

Well, as the facts say, human trafficking is the third-largest criminal activity of the world after arms and drugs. There are groups or one can say mafias which are behind these acts. Each year thousands of children are kidnapped and trafficked and sold in different parts of the country. Kids especially girl and young women, mostly from Northeast are taken from their homes and sold in faraway states of India for sexual exploitation and to work as bonded labour by the agents who lure their parents with education, better life, and money for these kids.

Agents do not send these kids to school but sell them to work in brick kilns, carpentry units, as domestic servants, beggars etc. Whereas girls are trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Even these girls are forced to marry in certain regions where female to male sex ratio is highly disturbed. Through the years, government along with the help of various NGO’s have busted numerous numbers of such businesses and still working to bring this business to an end.

What if I told that someone from Dubai bought a sports car for Rs 4 Crores? You will believe it, right? Yeah, what’s the problem in that? We are aware of how much rich The Sheikhs are. Would you still believe me if I told you that a set of 4 tyres was sold for Rs 4 Crores? Yes, 4 fucking Crores.

An NRI owned firm in Dubai manufactured a set of 4 tyres embedded with 24-carat gold and specially selected diamonds was sold for more than 4 Crores. There’s this thing I don’t really understand, why the fuck would someone manufacture a tyre with gold and diamonds? Moreover, why the fuck would someone put his money into a tyre like that?

The illogical shit of the manufacturing company has already made its way into the Guinness world record for the most expensive set of car tyres. Great Behenchod! And one more thing, these are the first and only set of tyres of this kind, the gold-plated tyres were developed by Z Tyres in Dubai. The person who bought these is still not known. If a person owns such expensive tyres, imagine how expensive cars he must be having under the roof.  I wonder if the buyer would really drive them.

 If you’ll ask me, to be honest, I would suggest the guy put them up in a glass closet because driving them would not be a sound choice in my opinion.  What if a diamond falls off while driving? And in every incident like that, the owner will lose money. Obviously. Imagine you are strolling down the road and find a diamond lying across the road. That would make anyone’s day. Well, jokes and imagination apart, I wish good luck to the owner with a set of tyres yet I still consider him as an asshole.
