Birthday gift

We went to Niagra in the 2000 summer, along with SVS' (Sameer) gang. It was my second trip (I made couple of more and been butt of joke since) and Manali's first. Nice enjoyable trip. We returned via Harrisburg, PA where SVS stayed.

Incidently, it was my birthday and SVS threw a nice surprise party. After the cake cutting, we started our journey back to our home (in NJ).

We both, I and Manali, were pretty tired and wanted to reach home as early as possible. As we hit the familiar terrin, I increased my speed. I even indulged in a chase with another car for short time. Suddenly, I spotted a familiar car body color in my rear-view mirror. It was a cop following me. I slowed down, but he put on the lights immediately. He was probably measuring how fast I would go. I must have been doing 80mph. I pulled over. After the usual chit-chat he tore a speeding ticket for me.

I never over-sped again.... on any of my birthday!
