At times it is not the overflow of thoughts that makes you grab your needle and pen down some of the 'top of the mind' thoughts and events,but the very realization of the fact that its been a while since you had a talk with yourself. Along with it, the commitment to yourself of penning down some worthwhile memories leaves you holding your sword in the dead of the night and bleeding words from it!!
So, with quite similar a state, I stand here ticking off this post. The thing that strikes my mind now is that sometimes its weird to realize that even though I have started earning, my life has changed from a 4-wheeler via a mechanically powered 2-wheeler down to a self-propelled 2-wheeler. And people thought I had been promoted & salary hiked.. phew! That's the way it was when on the final 2 days of the so perceived 'extended weekend', we(a group of 4 friends) decided to do something out of the box. Throwing the initial 3 days to the air (well, shall I justify them by saying that they helped us digest the adventurous idea that ensued hence?) we finally came to the consensus of undertaking a fantabulous bicycle ride amidst the bangalore roads(though they are not the highlight of the city in any ways) and reach up to the Banyan tree(ahh, so u imagined the one hanging near your house's squeezed lanes? ../..FYI 'u loser', I meant the BIG Banyan Tree!!) around 35 kms from our residence in Bangalore.
The morning began early for us, getting up at 5.30am (atleast pour some sympathy on us acknowledging our past history which doesn't go too well with our early waking habits!). Anyways battling all odds, we were on our way at around 6.30pm, with our gang and a dear friend who made us feel like real riders on the battlefield, courtesy to her #DSLR. As we headed forward, with maps in hand, drinks in bags, destination in mind and an unknown way to find, we could see some initial jitters with the cycles as we were not the typical seasoned riders. But with spirits that were high and few raindrops hanging by, we began going strong and cruising our way through the traffic. The way was loaded with ups & downs, inclinations & declinations, crests & troughs, potholes and flats. But the places en-route : Mysore road, Nayanahalli, Kengeri/Satellite Town(fancy name, eh?) and the associated landmarks: Bangalore University, RVCOE, Rajeshwara Medical College, etc kept us kicking and going! A random gate-crashing in RVCOE(no offenses to the gate security--> we love you guys for that!!) formed a part of the trip. More to come were Ganesha temple, uncountable Shanthi Sagar (or whatever the modified version was, ) beautiful nurseries before we finally reached the Big Banyan Tree!
PS: Sorry for the 'hell delayed' update. Just realized that it was in my Drafts for long. Anyways, thought better be published than never! :) cheerios!
