The One With The Coastal Ride

Image
It was 7:30 in the morning of 4th March, 2017 at Chandni Chowk, Pune. 22 people on 18 rides set out for a journey of different sorts. I was also there, like a ghost among the 22 different souls. Thirty minutes into the start and I was thinking, 'Did I make a mistake joining this journey? Do I make some lame excuse and go back home?' This trip was definitely out of my comfort zone. I had been on road trips earlier (with friends) but never on an overnight trip with 22 strangers. It was difficult, for an introvert like me. I need time to mingle up and a day was surely not going to help create that bond. Plus, this was going to be my longest bike expedition till date. But then I thought otherwise, 'It was the trip that I needed not that I wanted.' And then I went with the flow. It was only a week before when I saw this post from Mysterious Rangers that I decided I have to go for this. So I started asking my friends, if they would like to join? And one by on...

The One With The Accident

Today I met with an Accident. Hold up. I'll narrate the entire incident. I was at the start of Aundh-Ravet road from Aundh side. The road begins with an acute curve, at which I usually bank the bike. For better understanding you can refer this map. I was riding parallel to an old rusty city bus. The bus was to my right and was moving in the curve. Now I reached to the front of the bus and glanced at the driver. I saw the child's foolish playfulness, as if he was wondering 'What would this little bike do if I steer right towards him?' And in a blink of an eye he did it. Time froze when the bus touched the bike. Two words were uttered. He said 'Oops', I said 'Fuck'. Time came back to normal and me and my bike were spinning like the wheels of Bat Tumbler. As I rolled in the air I was thinking of the many things I had planned to do, but had put it aside for later and then, Snap!! I was out of the thought process. Oh wait! I forgot to ...

Magical Space Story

Hey, it’s been a long time since I wrote a post. This weekend I had gone on a road trip so couldn’t find time and weekdays I’m just occupied with work, eat, sleep. So, here I am. Oh! This one is not about the road trip. We shall get there later. This one is just promotional. I was on BlogAdda a few weeks back, where I saw they were promoting Colgate. I don’t remember using any other brand my entire life so I thought even I’ll pitch in some thoughts. Writing promotional blogs has its own perks ;) I know I’m not supposed to tell all this, but why would someone believe me if I’m not honest. I am blogging my #ColgateMagicalstories at  BlogAdda  in association with  Colgate . Kids or even parents of kids, pay close attention to what I say next. These things might interest you the most. Colgate has got a new way to attract kids. They got Magical Space Stories in their new packs. Something like this. There are three different stories so go fast ...
