"So are you gonna bungy jump??" Many people asked us when they found out we were going on a holiday to New Zealand.
My reply to them would be one of my many views on bungy jumping.
"What?? Bungy jump?? Are you crazy??"
"Oh I can't jump because of a medical condition. It's called 'I dun wanna bungy jump!'"
"Why would anyone in their right minds carry out such a suicidal act?? Why why why??"
"Why on earth would I want to plummet headfirst 30-40 metres down a canyon suspended only by a rubber cord??"
"I don't think people consciously take the bungy plunge. It's more like -- when they stand up there and look down, they faint at the sight, slip and fall down, and are brought back to consciousness when their heads get dunked in the water."
"Only people who are completely out of their minds would do something as crazy as bungy jumping."
Hmmm... I guess that last sentence just about explains us in the picture below.

Arre don't worry about the guy! If you wanna do it, just do it! Originally I was supposed to do it by myself (Viv had already done one by himself) but we just decided to do the tandem jump (thank goodness?) :)
#Lalit,
Err.. thanks?
How I envy the brave who can actually go bungee...
And Congratulations! :)
Whoooo!!
Indescribable feeling I guess :-)
Welcome back to Sayeshaz! ;-)
Woooooooooow.... bungy jumping????
I just gave an ultimatum to that S guy that I wanna go there! Period!
Once? Just once?? I sooo love adventure that am sure if I go for it once, I'd just wanna keep hanging in there... Better than hanging out here, w/o an objective. At least it involves thrill ;)
Glad you have you back Sash..
Missed you :)
Now get back to your regular blogging okay?
Take care,
Aarti
#Perspective,
Haha! If by 'brave' you mean 'insane', then yes I was very brave to do it. :P
#Harshi,

#Bivas,
Thank you thank you! Kitne barrels maar liye bar se mere absence mein, huh huh huh?? :/
#Smiling Girl,
You should totally go! :D
#Aarti,
Thanks! :) You should do it once at least... don't stay hanging ok? :D
No plans of taking over the bar :D

Whenz the Hopscotch update? :-)
Same pinch ;-). You did it in New Zealand, me and my hubby bungee-jumped in South Africa :-D.
I realised you two did the bungy jump together! Must have been reassuring to know that you weren't jumping alone :)
#Bivas,
Happening soon! :)
#Deeps,
Whoa! Scary huh? :)
#Soleil,
Hehehe... I guess so... even tho we had separate bungy cords. But I wouldn't let go of his hand! :P
