Okay, you know right, Abhay…?? Yeah, Abhay Deshpande my beloved friend. If you don’t remember here is a pic of him doing his legendary “V” or Victory.
Aero India 2011:
Well we had attended the Aero India 2011 with all the bling (hates myself for not writing the blog on Aero India). It was huge rush, the event was well organized, they had planned it well and executed it. Full marks for the organizers.
For parking there were different slots, everything was fully packed on the D day. So we parked our bikes at road side and went to the Aero show.
I noticed, Abhay kept his helmet on the bike handle, without locking the helmet. I asked why and what if someone takes it.
“Confidence hai re, koi nahi leta le” Abhay said.
After a mind blowing Aero India show, we came back to the parking lot, I was worried over Abhay’s helmet. And thank god, there it was. No one, took that.
“Confident hai re, no one will take that” said a grinning Abhay.
Koramangala stint:
Last week I and Abhay decided to meet to catch up with the things at each other’s end. So we planned up to meet at Koramangala for a night out stint. We parked our bikes behind the Robert Bosch building, yeah to save parking tickets and also that area is pretty safe I guess.
Abhay again kept the helmet on bike handle without locking it, again I asked.
Mohsin: “Helmet le re…”
Abhay: “Confidence hai re, koi nahi leta le.”
Then we went for Jimi’s B cafe, later Enigma, had dinner at Paramount hotel, so it was around 2 AM, we decided to go to room.
Came to bikes, HELMET is MISSING…
“Confidencich gaya ja”, Abhay sulked in pain…

Lol!!! Poor abhay!!.. Confidence har jaga nahi chalti re.. Lesson learnt (in a harsh way)
Bhai,
You should’ve seen our faces when it happened. Kya bolu…

LOL
When people get overconfident, that’s when something snaps up and bites them…
LOL
:) When people get overconfident, that’s when something snaps up and bites them… Beware!!!
Well,
We weren’t overconfident, we were trusting on people regarding nothing will go wrong. For the Aero India it was so crowded, no one took. Koramangala a posh area and helmet gone… What say..??
M
I like his confidence LOL

Vin,
Well he is chilled out, he was like, “acchach huva ja”.
What you missed was our reaction after spotting the missing helmet.

Light le re abhay, as usual
Hey Mohsin, nice one, the story of Abhey reminded me of a quote “Overconfidence blurs out the risk. Inferiority magnifies it”…
Suhail,
Thanks for the comment dude… Yeah, lesson learnt, never to trust on strangers, its better to be in our own sandbox…
M
Abhay don’t worry… Mohsin is very kind hearted person… He will give his helmet plus riding gloves for free free free and free….
Ram,
Thats what happened exactly, he took my old helmet, remember the red one which I bought in Udupi.
Dekh ba, kya kya lafde karte dekh…

@Mohsin: It was a memorable night dude. Kormangala ka night life bhi dekha aur logon ko bhi.
@Damodar and @Alpana : I need to checkout some books about confidence and overconfidence. Then i might improve.
@Vinay : Buddy no sympaties. I have already taken jamal’s helmet.
Abhay,
Ha dude, don’t worry, it was the start of the great weekends. We can do that regularly depending on the time and money, also we still need to try out many places in Namma Bengaluru.

Sound hilarius, but felt sad for your friend Abhay
By the way Abhay sounded “confidence hai re, koi nahi lega” , it seems like the helmet was in such a condition that no onez gone take it
!!
Mahant,
Helmet was in a good condition man, we could’ve used it still more. Anyways, he will buy a new one asap…
