Trip to Mahi
Last week was an eventful one.First was the departure to singapore of a dear friend . Its an important event as this friend of mine instilled in me a different view to see life. Before i met this wonderful friend entire focus of my professional life had been to do well in my short yet sweet professional career.The total chillax attitude in responding to some of the gravest of the problems around was her trademark style.
This trademark style prompted me to take a leaf out of her book n try a bit of adventure sport.As in ,riding a bike can hardly be called as adventure sport but well it was a good begining. So it was upto me n Kunal to flag of the trip. Kunal is one guy who will always be there on such kind of trips. Giving me a bike , a destination and he is on his way. Leave him alone to figure out the route n trust me u won't be disappointed.
The ride started with me n kunal cruising on our bikes. Although we had touched speeds in excess of 100 kms on our last ride, this it was like a cruise. We seldom did go beyond 40 kph speed mark.
This place where we had planned to go was --bank of river Mahi . Thats about 20 kms from the place where i stay . We started at around 10 am. A tinge of green was visible throughout the ride on either side of the road . Also the best thing about this route was we couldn't see even one pothole on the tar road . Hatz off to the road development corporation for maintaining it.On the way we picked up the bare essentials (read that as ...snacks/coke/ ciggies for kunal n center fresh for me ...:-) )
As soon as we reached there, the view of the river was splendid.This is the first time in almost many years this river has carried so much water (this is wat iam told).By then shashi had also joined us(we called him up n he shunned his plans for this ride)...We cudnt resist the charm of going on a boat ride in the river. So we asked a fisherman to take us on a boat ride. He obviously didn't want to refuse on the easy money he cud make n off we were, onto the boat and on a ride across to the other bank. It was fun to have gone on this ride.
On the way back, plans r already on to make the next ride about which i wud let u know in detail....so cya at the same place(thatz moi blog)...till then cya..:-)

Hello from a down under in New Zealand. It sounds like you had a "cruisy" time on your trip. That's the thing - get out there, live a little, laugh a lot & die happy !!! Of course, you will have a lot of memories to share with friends & family along the way.
Hi kelvin. i think that sums up the essence of "live life king size". I must say it really brings up a whole new and an interesting dimension to way one should live.
