A friend and me suddenly decided that we need to break away from the clutter and rush Mumbai is made up of and nothing can beat a drive to Pune. We packed our bags, got speed and hit the road.
We drove down the Mumbai-Pune expressway, talked about life, people, friends, ourselves and things to come in life.
The best part about travelling, trekking is the time and emptiness it offers. You can think about yourself. You can decide the direction you want to take. You can think of excuses for lame things that you have done in life. And last but not the least, you get to see, meet, feel new places and people. You get to live a short new life!
A Mumbai-Pune highway ride is VERY highly recommended.
Few things to take care of
1. Always carry extra tyres. The road before and after the expressway is rough and uncharacteristically high number of incidents happen.
2. Food and water is not a problem. Everyone 30 odd kilometers there are "pit stops" and you get food, clean restrooms, fuel, service stations. It is still advisable to carry essentials.
3. Carry change for the toll. They are very finicky about it.
DL 5S Q 2131 Sold
Today I was told that my bike has been sold. Came as a shocker. Did not know I was so fixated with something so material.
My Biking Blog @ dl52q2131.blogspot.com comes to an end.
My biking posts about Driving through Delhi (Jan 2004), 60 kmph (Nov 2005), Biking and Music (Apr 2007), Freak Accident (Aug 2006), My dream bike (Jan 2006) still remain. Post about 8101 here and here are still there. The only thing missing is my bike. I loved it more than anything else and I will sure miss it.
Anyways its gone. Time to stop thinking about past and worrying about the future.
Plan of Action aka POA is to start meeting new people and talking! More updates on this soon.

We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions here
I must have died alone
A long, long time ago
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

Biking and Music

A Kawasaki Bajaj Caliber Croma WITH DISK BRAKES
An iPod
A biker
Empty Roads of Chennai
I was listening to Dil Deewana from Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa. The song has been shot on SRK and Deepak Tijori. I am on the bike and I can almost see myself doing things that SRK does in the song. Pavlov ... ?
By the way, Apple announced sale of their 100 millionth ipod on April 9.
And now picture this ..
Thursday

100 empty chairs
100 turned off monitors
A sleeping guard
And this place is my office !

Title: Teri Deewani
Album: Kailasa
Artist: Kailash Kher
Preet ki lat mohe aisi laagi,
Ho gayi main matwaari,
Bal bal jaon apne piya ko,
Hey main jaon wari wari ...
Mohe sudh budh nahi rahi tan man ki,
Ye toh jaane duniya saari,
Bebas aur lachaar phiru main,
Haari main dil haari,
Haari main dil haari
Tere naam se jeelon, tere naam se mar jaon,
Tere naam se jeelon, tere naam se mar jaon,
Tere jaan ke sadke main kuch aisa kar jaon,
Tune kya kar daala,
Mar gayi main,
Mit gayi main,
Ho ji, haan ji,
Ho gayi main,
Teri deewani, deewani (2)
Tune kya kar daala,
Mar gayi main,
Mit gayi main,
Ho ji, haan ji,
Ho gayi main,
Teri deewani, deewani (2)
Ishq junoon jab had se badh jaye,
Ishq junoon jab had se badh jaye,
Haste haste aashiq sooli chadh jaye,
Ishq ka jadoo sar chadhkar bole,
Ishq ka jadoo sar chadhkar bole,
Khoob lagalo pehre raste rab khole,
Yahi ishq di marzi hain,
Yahi rab di marzi hain,
Yahi ishq di marzi hain,
Yahi rab di marzi hain,
Tere bin jina kaisa,
Haan khudgarzi hai,
Tune kya kar daala,
Mar gayi main,
Mit gayi main,
Ho ji, haan ji,
Ho gayi main,
Teri deewani, deewani (2)
Aye main rang rangeeli deewani,
Aye main rang rangeeli deewani,
Aye main albeli, main mastaani,
Gaon bajaaon, sabko rijhaon,
Aye main hoon dharam se begaani,
Aye main deewani main deewani,
Tere naam se jeelon, tere naam se mar jaon,
Tere naam se jeelon, tere naam se mar jaon,
Tere jaan ke sadke main kuch aisa kar jaon,
Tune kya kar daala,
Mar gayi main,
Mit gayi main,
Ho ji, haan ji,
Ho gayi main,
Teri deewani, deewani (2)

Pulikat Lake - The Lonesome Cloud
Pulikat Lake is about 80 KMs from Chennai. After you reach the shore, you have to take a boat ride for two hours to reach the mouth of the ocean.
The first almost virgin beach I have ever seen. The sand, water, sky were as clear as they can get. It dint even have a single shack, stall or shop where we could buy water or food.
