BUNGEE JUMPING.. without ropes and in the opposite direction ..

Bungee jumping may be even more exciting than it sounds, however as many of us, right now, are not in a financial state as well as mental state to go through it.. Some engineers (including my friends and me) found a cheaper way out! Innovation at it's best, this method does not use any ropes, does not require going to some spot where there's a valley deep enough to jump and most importantly doesn't require the courage to go through it.

What we do is first gather friends and go to the Engineering fest "VERVE", organized every year for engineering students of Pune University. Then when the loud music gets your nerves all you do is pick on the person you hate the most and offer others the opportunity to fling him in the air. Most of them readily oblige and there will be 99% unison (with the 1% belonging to the person who is about to be hurled about 10-15 feet in the air - depending on the mass of the person and weather conditions). Once he is through the process he will have acquired a feeling of a lifetime and some revenge elements as he starts picking back on each and every one of the crowd, with the rest of the pack agreeing to the noble request.

This way you will manage to cherish your own moment of bungee jumping upside down. The feeling when you reach at the maximum height is the best.. you can see people far below you (5-6 feet :D) and the tingling sensation in your stomach is just addictive .. no wonder people prefer jumping down buildings to any other form of death !

NOTE: There can be cases when people hurling you up won't be in a mood to catch you on your return trip, might misjudge your body mass ( as what happened with me ) and even worse a hot babe might walk by initiating a process among the other males called ogling which may lead to their brain malfunction for a few seconds giving you enough time to travel an extra feet or two on your way back before you hit the ground (Ouch!) But be a sport like me and offer them a second chance. With that hurting elbow.. It’s even more fun ..

Do remember to get back to me ( via email - no physical abuse please ), when you have been through the sensation of a lifetime. But that will of course be after you get out of hospital and back to the pink of your health. Enjoy!!!!
