Crazy Routes

Necessity may dictate that you choose the "road less traveled", but for goodness sake, leave weaker-nerved passengers behind. They might experience life-changing (and even underwear-changing) circumstances that they will never forget, or forgive. Found below is one of the Chinese military roads to "boost the morale of their troops"

And here is how they navigate it:

Tirana to Elbasan Road in Albania:
This is a hairy route, very high, badly maintained with high volume of heavy truck traffic - count on these Albanian drivers to be dare-devils, too. Whatever pictures we could get, look pretty serious: The cool thing about this road is that it leads to various interesting "rabbit trails" with ancient ruins at the end:

The Skippers Canyon Road near Queenstown:
This road is made from a very narrow cut in the middle of a sheer cliff face. The large tourist buses go along it, and it's so narrow that if two vehicles have to pass each other, one vehicle might have to reverse for anything up to 3 kilometres of winding narrow road to get to a place wide enough to pass. It is the SCARIEST road you could imagine...

And this is how it looks close up, with sheer drops just outside the single lane (with almost not enough space for tires)

Stelvio Pass Road - redefining switchbacks - A Scenic yet Dangerous Road! - Height - 2757 meters
Location - in the Italian Alps, near Bormio and Sulden, 75 km from Bolzano, close to Swiss border. (The road connects the Valtellina with the upper Adige valley and Merano)
Claim to fame - "the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps, and the second highest in the Alps, after the Col de l'Iseran (2770 m)"

College Days

The following poem is sent by my dearest friend to me. This poem reminds me of my college days, the most cherished part any student's life. I'm sharing this with you people.

The day starts with loads of energy and ends with loads of fun
That’s college life!

When I sit on my couch and doze off
I think of those class bunk, breaking rules,
When will I return to those days?
College days are really precious.
Studying a day before the exam,
Shedding unwanted tears for results,
Writing infinite class tests,
Eating during the class hours,
Fighting with friends,
Playing pranks on others,
Creating nicknames for faculties,
Oh god! why did I come out of those days?
You might have won good friends
You might have been betrayed
Thank god for showing you the true people.
If I get a time machine, I would return to those days,
And I enjoy those precious moments as much as I can.
Hope it comes!

Hope you enjoyed it. While reading the poem, if your college days and time spent with your friends comes to your mind: then this poem has achieved its purpose! :)
