A Ride, Mahadevapura (Mandya)..

This was one of the most unplanned ride that I have ever been on. It was decided on Saturday 7th April late night. Me and my bro-in-law, Vijay with our bikes Royal Enfield Thunderbird and Royal Enfield Classic started off on 8th April at 7 AM. Though the place was a blissful scenic beauty, the whole plan was to concentrate more on riding our demons.
The Royal rides
I wanted to reach as high speeds as possible on this trip. From the start itself, the odometer was wavering between 80 and 100 kmph. I was pushing it hardest with my very mediocre bike riding skills. That wasn't actually the case for my bro-in-law. He was a pro, in other words he had the skills to actually even perform stunts. It wasn't something new for him, but on this Classic it was his first trip. He was reaching top speeds without a sweat and also cruised through the traffic. On the way to Mahadevapura, the max that I reached was 110 kmph. It was a dream come true, when I touched 110 for the first time, but then I was reaching it more often. The bike was so smooth, it felt as if I was flying in clouds. We then reached the place, it was a really beautiful place. The river Cauvery, was so calm. We fell into the river, and was in it for almost two hours. The hot sun with a cold river was a perfect way to calm down the tensions in the head.

Next was the ride back home. The Sun was right on our heads, trying to burn us down to ashes; this didn't stop us to get on our bikes. We had planned to stop for lunch at Maddur. And on the way, I was finally able to reach my top speed. The 120 kmph mark, it was amazing feeling. Though I rode at 120 for less than a minute due to the stupid traffic, it was totally worth it. Fist pumping the air, I felt like God. I was then stuck in traffic and Vijay overtook me and then we only met near nice road. He drove off so fast that I wasn't able to catch him and with the traffic I was stuck all the way. Then we met up near the nice road, had a drink and left home.

This 250+ km ride was more remarkable one for me, coz for a person who learned riding less than a year ago. It was real great achievement for me to reach a top speed of 120 kmph and also ride my bike so long in a single day.

One shouldn't...

Image
 (Part - 1) One shouldn't get up before the sunrise. One shouldn't take bath in a hurry thinking about missing the office shuttle. One shouldn't hog up breakfast just for the sake of eating. One shouldn't arrive at office when the maids are cleaning. One shouldn't work like a ass every single minute of the work-day. One shouldn't have lunch all alone and run back to the cubicle.     One shouldn't wait for the clock to strike 5, to get out of a cage (I mean cubicle). One shouldn't travel for more than two hours, just to reach home. One shouldn't have all evening spent in a bus full of idiots. One shouldn't worry about work even after reaching home. One shouldn't just always eat the perfect diet meals, watching lame TV shows. One shouldn't go to bed always thinking about the next day. (Part - 2) One shouldn't wait for a weekend to have something called fun.   One shouldn't always travel to only two places in...

Journey Back Home 1

14th Aug 2008, I left my office at 8:30:10 PM. It was raining heavily, and heard that there was very very heavy traffic jam on the way. So I thought that it would take at least 2:30 hrs to reach home. So did my normal jobs which I do everyday in the bus. At 10:11:25 PM the bus crossed corporation, towards majestic. Well, that's where every thing stopped. The traffic was so much that the bus just moved 10-15 mtrs in some 1 hr. Now I came to know that my friend was also in the same bus. And due to this traffic jam, I made some new friends in the bus. AT 11:22:50 PM; me, my friend and other new friends decide to step out of the bus and walk till we find some clear road and then get an auto and head home. We were out of the bus and started walking, but on the way we came to know that there was traffic jam even for walking! It was really bad walking (jumping around) on the stagnant water on the road sides. The footpaths were crowded with people and autos. After we walked a bit, for our ...

The rest room Incident...

On 29th Aug 2010, I had my MS second semester exams. The exam center was DPS Bangalore. My room was in a new building. The building was not fully constructed yet only 2 floors were done. I was searching for a rest room. In one corner I saw a man coming out of a room washing his face. So I assumed that it was the rest room. Went in, but I was shocked to see a lot of doors. I held the knob of the door, the door suddenly started to open. Right there, right there; I still cant forget that moment; a lady came out. Well I think u can guess my face and feel at that time. Not that I was shocked, stunned or ashamed; but I was really embarrassed.  I asked her sorry for some 10~15 times. Thank GOD she did not scold or slap me, she obliged with me. When I came out I found that there was no sign board. Uff, that was one incident to remember for life .
