vanished pedals n pedallers
Then something struck a chord in my mind, i knew the cycle repair guy who used to sit near my school His name was Mustafa and i knew where he lived. I went to the place in radio colony where i thought he lived on the outskirts of a big hockey ground in small hole with tin roof. But he was not to be found there. I asked his neighbour about his whereabouts and the answer left me all bitter. He has left the town after working sometime under a mechanic and is working in a garage in Bhopal. What the heck? (yeah i know he moved to earn more, he went ahead with time, whatever..). Later tired i returned home switchd on the T.V only to see an advertisement from PCRA Mocking the dream of a kid who aftr watching all the elders around him burning petrol, decides to b a bicycle mechanic. Listening this the father comes back to his senses and turns off his engine on the red light. So what they wanted to show was that the kid's dream was so tiny that his father got ashamed and came back to his senses
Now the big question..what's wrong with the cycle industry in India. Bieng a bicycle mechnic can bring ultimate shame to ur parents???!! Anything that has to do something with bicycles is small...is it so then let me put forward some data for all those big hot shots. Can u afford the newly launched bicyle from ferrari CX70 Daytona costing 1.6 lakh or Audi cross pro RS costing 2.6 lakhs. Indian bicycle giants Atlas and hero are coming up with new sporty variants whose cost vary between 5k to 20k Well thats what bicycle industry can do for india only if we open our cramped up little minds towards these biofriendly high on adrenaline(u doubt that then wait fr more posts), perfect city commuters.
So please take out ur bikes back on roads and bring back all those Mustafa's back in business.

Human or junkie
Speed junkie, reckless driver, no brakes freak. thats what i hear from people on road when m behind a set of wheels. Well!! yes, speed junkie is what u can call me but reckless driver?? No sir i'd like to tell that i have maintaind O casualty since m driving. People sometime blame us speeders of running from life, then again i'd like to clear its not at all running from life on the contrary speeding is like running towrds life. Now imagine urself on the back of bike which is capable of taking u to the speed of 150 km/h The throttle is in ur hand, and u are constantly ravving it up, up ,up , up and maximum, till the bike is in ur control silently remove the head gear and whaammm, gust of wind punches ur nose right from the front, throw ur helmet, get back in the position both hands on the handle bar, open the full throttle, let the engine scream for mercy, the wind rushes though ur ears like two tornados meeting in their peak,wind trying to close ur eyes,u trying to keep themm open,tears gushing out your eyes like a newly popped up champagne bottle.
Now enough...Come back in control of the bike. Turn the key off. let the engine go silent still the momentum of the previous race is enough to keep it up to 90 Km/h. Feel the silence filling u, feel the silence surrounding u, feel the silence of ur still moving bike,Feel yourself floating over the world.Take a deep breath, let ur heart beat go slowly down to normal, look around. Now see the world pass by silently,trees, bushes, houses all silent specatators of ur elegant run towrds the elixir of life.. now when the speed comes down to 60 kms/hr get both your arms off the handle bar, stretch them wide(as wide as u can) and embrace life,give it a bear hug, kiss it on the forhead..now turn on the key,put the bike into gear leave the clutch and again back to what u were at the starting of the post a simple humanbieng just like us all..ur date with life just got over & what a date it was sir!!!
