Leaving BMC

I had already made up my mind about leaving Bangalore Motoring Club (BMC) as it was very insulting not keeping me informed about the meet being cancelled in time. I had reached venue in time and it was very well told by Abhijit that unless until told you must be there "No one would be invited/told about place and time".

This chat, through Orkut scraps, with Naveen Manohar was the last nail in coffin. A premature death. (happened on 15th Dec 2007 around 11 PM)

NM - Hello sir....

AT - bolo.... why your google id committed suicide?

NM - he he... wasn't in good mood for ze last couple of days, i deleted my orkut profile, gmail account and everything else

AT - abe mood can't be a reason??? tell me the truth...

NM - "Am telling you the truth, nothing but the truth" This profile is only for friends who i know and have interacted with !The old one was pretty much out of control !

AT - where you joining BTW and when?? [Kanti told me about the new job offer he had got]

NM - What's this joining thing ?? I have an offer from Target, but my boss won't leme go ! Am goin nowhere sir...

AT - what do you mean by this "out of control"?? This is plain ridiculous

NM - aaaah kaaamaaan.. forget about that old profile.. here i am, all new, clean shaven, sleek profile

AT - whatever.. I don't feel like coming to weekly meets at all. I have started looking for some option. I may join junta at 60 kmph. This is just taking the club for ride by founding and leading members. Damn pissed if I have to waste my time.
I was not at all in mood to come still drove for an hour to come there..

NM - i was in mental torture that evening dooood.. called up a few ppl and then decided to cancel the show... basically, i didn't wanna come there that day after the bad day i had at office fighting wid higher ups for relieving me early .. i just rushed back home and slept !

AT - dude.. you should know the game....

NM - The same situation you were in a couple of months back when you were trying to quit Convergys, i was going through it on Friday ! [Note : My ex-employer was Covansys, wrongly mentioned as Convergys by Naveen]

ok..

Ashish, just join 60kmph and have fun yaar ! forget abt BMC.. seriously..

AT - yeah.. I told you .. It was very bad feeling when I read your SMS about meet being canceled. I have to spend 2 hr just in traveling in the traffic and I'm god damn allergic to smoke. I get headache in second the first time I inhale CO2.

NM - So, no worries, this won't happen all the time yaar... Now, do one thing - forget about BMC and the meets... check out 60 kmph too... that choice is always yoursbut, please accept my apologies coz am the one who cancelled the show !Anways, goodnite yaar am gonna crash now.. tc.. bye for now

AT - sure. I don't feel like coming to meets. I'll do check out other options available.
Very strage that just one member can cancel the meet.

  1. Ashish Tiwari ! The biggest overgrown Kid i've ever seen...
    Here's his definition of "A True Biker" -> A person who owns a bike :) lol !

    The very first day he proposed the idea of him joining our riding club, i was skeptical ! I knew he wasn't cut out for this profile... But, i agreed and asked him to come and meet the rest of the crew. Well, he was all excited (as with most of us,on day one). The next week, all of us decided to ride to Maddur CCD and this would be the first REAL TEST for Ashish Tiwari !

    One the D Day, our man arrives ahead of time, without having dinner, without a proper jacket to protect himself from cold, without a pair of riding gloves(all this inspite of me repeated warning him about the punishing chill climate during our midnight ride to CCD).. Well, my intution was turning out to be a reality. The ride begins, and here's a man, who will keep lookin at the speedo needle, just to see that he wouldn't overshoot 60kmph !!! Funniest part was, Ashish Tiwari likes to TALK & TALK & TALK (also when he's riding his bike) and he starts chatting with the rider riding next to him. Ashish Tiwari almost gets the other guy killed in the process !! Thanks to him, the whole pack (which usually rides at 80-90 kmph) slows down to a snails pace..
    Repeated warnings go to waste as he keeps doing the same thing, over and over ! This made all of us believe that he was a perfect misfit in our group...

    Ever heard of the words - "Constant Whining"... thats exactly what he is -> A constant Whiner :) Its pretty much evident from his blog posts. He'll keep saying "Bangalore Traffic Sucks", "Mumbai's the Best", "People here in Bangalore are unfriendly", "Infrastructure in Bangalore is bad"... All this just shows Ashish Tiwari's character !

    He has taken one small incident (a meeting on one day getting cancelled) and made a blog out of it ! Ashish Tiwari - Yor really funny :) lol !

    Ashish Tiwari has no idea about the roots of BMC, nor does he understand the efforts going into improving this club ! Out of the 30 odd meets we have done so far (since the club's inception), Ashish Tiwari has attened ONE meet ! The next one incidentally got cancelled and Ashish Tiwari things that this is Blog Stuff !

    Let me counter all the orkut scrap he's mentioned here (the fact that he has mentioned all this personal info here, tells me that Ashish Tiwari is good at Back Stabing and achieving things "Behind the Scenes")

    The first few conversations are regarding my old profile on orkut, which i had deleted due to personal reasons ! Ashish Tiwari had no business asking me questions abt it, or to copy/paste any such conversations on his blog !

    Then, Ashish Tiwari moves on to the next topic - my job change ! Its clear from his blog, that he's already enquired from other sources about where i was joining. But, Ashish Tiwari want to cross verify ! Typical Bull****

    In the next few scraps, he highlights a small mistake i made - I wrongly mentioned his ex-employer's name. Ashish Tiwari makes this is Blog Stuff !

    The bottom line was, i had a bad day and i wasn't in the mood to meet people that evening(Am talking ONE Friday evening). Ashish Tiwari takes this to his advantage, highlighting my conversation with him and then blames BMC for all this ? Ashish Tiwari doesn't even know why BMC is in existence !

    Let me summarize things for everyone :

    1) Who ever's reading this blog, be careful with what you talk with people like Ashish Tiwari. Yor conversations may end up on "NON-SENSE" blogs like this one !

    2) Ashish Tiwari doesn't even know a damn about biking. Just because Ashish Tiwari owns a bike, it doesn't make him an good rider ! Infact, Ashish Tiwari will never make it to that stage :) lol...

    3) Ashish Tiwari needs to understand that certain conversations are to be personal, they are not to be made fun of because different people take it in different ways !

    4) Ashish Tiwari needs to understand that he never had to leave BMC. He was never a good rider and never will be one ! Ashish Tiwari was expelled from BMC.

    5) Now we all know that Blogs are kinda free form expression media where a person can write about his or her life. It doesn't mean that folks like Ashish Tiwari can cut/paste conversations with others into his blogs like this ! This blog makes it look as if there's a defect on one a person or a community. No one can really understand or appreciate the bigger picture of things that happened !

    Ashish Tiwari can continue to write blogs like this, directly or indirectly condemning things like people's acts or even Bangalore's inadequacies etc... But, blogs like this one "Leaving BMC" has no positive outcome. Who the hell would wanna know why Ashish Tiwari left BMC :) lol ! Well, all i can say is - Ashish Tiwari needs to re-define his content for blogs and move on ! If he doesn't like to come for meets, hell with em ! It's high time to stop bullshitting like this...

  2. I can just say one thing Naveen.. All that you have written about me (not about BMC etc) is completely false.

    I happen to reach place well ahead of time as I had absolutely no idea about the meeting point. I was lucky to reach there.

    Repeated warning. a lie. I knew about the punishing chill.

    Again 60 kmph. another lie. I was keeping pace with my fellow rider and I knew about being slow. I had asked him to race but he never listen. You had said that you sacked people from club for over speeding. I never wanted to get out of it.

    BTW, after the first 30 minutes where we tool a halt for tea. All was very well and my and my fellow rider maintained consistent 75-80.

    TALK, I talked to him only once and I was talking to him to race only as were trailing.

    I believe when riding in formation, riders don't go above 80. BTW, I was just behind the leader. How is that possible.

    Repeated warning.. another lie.. so much you can lie Naveen. If at all I was told anything that was about trailing during the first 20-30 km of whole ride. and my riding was appreciated by Aseem and you also as I followed your advise.

    Whole world has same feeling about Bangalore.

    Dude, the incident was not "meeting being canceled" but "not informed about meeting being canceled".

    I had just attended two meets, but I believe we had talked about why, when. where of BMC for long on phone. You probably nned to check how many meets I have attended.

    Kanti happen to meet me about the time of leaving for meet and he told me that I was going to hear some good news from Naveen. What's wrong or bull**** in asking where were you joining.

    Wrong name, well that whole conversation. I just corrected it.

    I don't blame BMC, but leading and influencing mebers of it. How can they take whole club for a ride. Just because someone old member of club is having had hair day, the meeting shouldn't have had got cancelled. It was still OK. But when you wade through 1 hr plus travel to reach just to hear about meeting being cancelled obvioulsy anyone would get pissed off.

    -----------

    1. This blog is personal. I write persoanl stuff.

    2. I know it very well that I can't make it to a biker like you, becasue you sleep dram eat biking and I don't. You and me have different interests in life.

    3. I don't think chatting on messenegr, orkut and then putting then on Blog should make a difference. right or wrong, you should satnd by it.

    4. A complete lie. No comments.

    5. Defet is in you not in BMC. Sadly you are a founding memebr of BMC.

    Dude, I write all these for my own sake. It is a personal diary. I don't have intention to make it to media.

    EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE PUT IN BLOGS IS 100 TRUTH.

  3. Yup, Ashish is the "Sathya Harish Chandra" of modern times folks !

    Ashish, here's the bottom line. Yor a person who goes by the book ! Good for you.. Sometimes it doesn't help.

    You can dismiss all the facts by saying its a "LIE", but you and i know the "TRUTH".. This blog or its content don't represent the whole "TRUTH". The debate can be endless !

    So, in yor office, yor boss calls for a meeting and then calls it off, you lash out at him i suppose. or even quit ! Thats not my type !

    This blog reminds me of the phrase "TRUE LIES" :)

    The community clearly says - Note : We bikers meet everyfriday at 7.30...
    Does that mean, everybiker SHOULD definitely meet EVERYFRIDAY ?!

    You may respect yor time. I respect the image and what other people think about it !

    YOU CAN WRITE WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU... DON'T MAKE COMMENTS ON OTHERS !!!!
