This is the terrifying moment a group of Indian teenagers narrowly 
avoided being killed while playing a deadly game of chicken on a railway line.
The group were spotted running out in front of a large passenger
 train on the tracks of the Daliganj Railway Bridge in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
As the speeding train closes in, the teenagers run along the tracks - 
each waiting until the last possible moment to leap off the open-sided
 bridge into the roaring waters of the River Gomti below.

Waiting: Despite the dangerous nature of the act, the young men are 
adamant that none of them have ever been hurt playing on the tracks
 
The teenagers gather on the bridge every day at noon, 
as temperatures soar to an unbearable 45C.
Standing on the tracks, often with the trains only metres away, their 
terrifying game of chicken involves competing to be last person to
 leap from the bridge into the refreshing water below.

Along with the challenges posed by the sweltering heat, fast moving 
trains and deep waters, the teens also have to try and 
evade local law enforcement.

'We do this every summer. This is a great way of having fun. 
Otherwise, going about normally around the river is very boring,' 
18-year-old Mukesh Kumar, the first to jump from the bridge, said. 
 
'We also have bets sometimes about who jumps last and waits for
 the train to come nearest,' he added.

Reckless: However, as the police officers refuse to jump off the bridge after them,
 the young men say they have never yet been caught, and will continue to 
play their deadly game of chicken on the tracks

The teenagers gather on the bridge every day at noon, as temperatures
 soar to an unbearable 45C. They say their incredibly dangerous
 acts help to alleviate their boredom.

 
 
Police officers have a tough time manning the tracks and 
stopping teenagers diving off the bridge.
 
'The police come once in a while, but once we have jumped off, 
they cannot chase us. We outrun them every time,' Varun Jadav, 
a teenager who frequents the spot, said.
'Also, it is so hot at that time of the day that even the railway 
track is boiling hot. So when we are here that no one 
comes around this spot,' he added.
Despite the dangerous nature of the act, the young men are 
adamant that none of them have ever been hurt playing on the tracks.
'We do this a lot, so there is no question of 
getting injured or anything,' Kumar said.

What Does Quality Of Life Mean

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

 

If  we want to improve the quality of our life, we have to know what  "quality of life" is. Perceptions of this differs from person to person. There are a lot of things in this world to acquire, but most people in general want health,wealth, love and happiness. But all of us seem to believe only in health and wealth without any care for your fellow-beings. This doesn't mean you have to help by giving in cash or kind ----even a smile with some pleasing words at the apt time helps, which results in true happiness.

When you are happy, your mind is in a good mood. You are more charming and attractive to others.You can take care of yourself and get more energy and enthusiasm.Your body boosts the immune system and speeds up the healing in you and good positive thoughts come to mind.

Your decisions must be better that benefit others and you. This lead you to be more successful in your business and you become more productive.

So this is  how health,wealth and love brings you happiness, BUT it is definitely not the other way round.

 
:: Thoughts on life
 
Discussion N argument ::
Discussion is an exchange of knowledge, argument is an exchange of ignorance....!
Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip toe if you must, but take the step!
:: Success in Life ::
You don't have to be great to make a start in any life career venture, but you have to start to be great.....!
:: Positive Attitude Really Matters ::
Its better to look ahead and prepare than to look back and despair....!

 
Nice thoughts
The Power of Decision
Decision is the spark that ignites action.
 
Until a decision is made, nothing happens....
The Power of Simplicity
 
Simplicity is the ultimate art of sophistication.

 
Thoughts on success

 
Golden words for success
 
You see the clock only when you don't have work.
But you don't see the  clock when u r working.
So the clock is the lock to your success.
