was it a career risk, where you resigned from a job to pursue something else?
was it an adventure type of risk? like going into extreme sports when you're such a scardy cat?
was it a risk you consider worth taking, like marriage?
anything... :D

I cannot forget the moment when I got my bike from in between a bike and a Tempo(tempo is like truck but a bit smaller and a bit different design).
That day I went to a small village to visit some people. It was an official visit. While returning I got very late in fact it was very late. It was about to get dark in the evening, but there was still much light.
I had to join the highway as soon as possible to get my place soon. The village road I was travelling that day was good but very small in breadth at the same only two cars could pass without leaving space of more than one feet to there both sides.
That day as I was in a hurry, I was riding my bike speedily. It was u shaped road, not a sharp u turn it was, you can assume the shape of half moon, yes that curve. And by the road side there were all trees and bushes giving no idea of the vehicles coming from ahead.
I was around a speed of 70 kilometers per hour, it is a high speed for a small village road. When I crossed the turn I suddenly found two vehicles coming from the front simultaneously, one was a tempo and other was a bike with two people on it. They would be at a speed of around 35 to 40 kmph, not more. When I saw them I wanted to apply breaks, but doing this would have skidded my bike's there was soil on the road. There was less than one meter distance in between tempo and the bike. I don't know how but I got through in between those vehicles at around 50 kmph. When I was getting through my tires were just 2 inches away from the tempo and I took off in a slanting position If I would have got straight my hands would have hit the tempo and if I had got more slanted my head would have hit the bike.
I was a very thrilling experience. Moreover, I was riding with my female co colleague. She was afraid a lot. In fact she was terrified.

If I were married, then that would be my answer. But I am not. So the biggest risk was probably when I decided to travel into a state that I never step my foot in with only my best friend. We never know the place, how the people was and such. Information from the Internet wasn't even much of a help. But we still went there, had a very good time, try new things and had new experiences. In the end, it worth everything. The next year, we did that again, into another unfamiliar state.

The biggest life risk i had to take was the assasination of president lincoln. I had to do it. They were paying me a good sum.
