From here to eternity is the other way round

Scene 3:
Take a look around. You are above it all, literally. There is absolutely nothing around and there is everything around. Look down into the nothingness and see a whole world out there. Close your eyes, step forward, let go. Into the great wide open, you go. There is no turning back and until that rope comes into the picture, well, you're flying, only falling. Picture a world coming crashing down. Yeah, that. And does it all scare me?? No. I will do it again. And again.
More blood rushes into your head than has ever. Tom Petty and all his talk about free falling, i know he wasn't talking about this. Probably the only time you'll realize that 9.81 is a big number, it might even motivate some to loose those extra pounds. No, there isn't a jerk. The impact is well distributed over your body for you to really feel it.Still wondering???
Lets travel back in time. Lets see how it all happened.
Scene 1:
Strangers in a strange land. Four's a crowd?? Good enough i'll say. Time to kill? IITians? Lets quiz.
A late realization that winners get free "lets save it for later". Winning isn't everything? Is it? Especially when you don't want to win the above not mentioned thing. Too bad you know the right answer. Too bad, you win.
Scene 2 :
Some guy: "Strap em on. You're next."
Me: "Aye aye captain" (Not scared at all)
Platform goes up, so do you. Some instructions. Your first attempt and you realize, it is not easy to push yourself off that height. You hold on like for dear life.More instructions. You close your eyes.

OK, I bulbed :D As usual.

Saary, you HAVE mentioned about the not-wanting-to-win part. But I didn't get this line - "A late realization that winners get free "lets save it for later"."

Nice, Mr. Christopher Nolan has competition!

And LOL, 9.81 is a big number, but in Galileo's name! it shouldn't inspire you to lose weight, it's all the same anyway :P

I still can't imagine the no-jerk reaction, and that song you're referenced is just too lovely! Danke!
