The jOy of riding a bike !!

Hello there...all wonderful people!! :) This is my very first blog and I hope I don't intrude the justice being done to Blogs by all great Bloggers!!

"The JOY of riding a bike".....why did I choose this of all great things that could've been pondered upon? Reason being, I love riding my bike and I am one of those, who are rightly criticized by random people often on road as, "two-wheeler-ists are the main cause for major bottlenecks on roads!!" :P (they are just jealous 'coz they are stuck in one of those hectic traffic jams and we traverse through every little space we get to somehow manage to catch the first position in the congestion!! ;)

I have an Activa-I (smaller and light-weighted version of the daddy Activa) and I can't help but admire its beauty everyday when I take it for a ride to my office. (Let's call it AI) Such a sweetheart - you want it to go in between 2 autos without being smashed, it does; you want it to keep running even when the petrol tank light glows bright red, it does (of course only until the petrol bunk); you want it to overtake a big fat lorry doing zig-zag salsa on road or a bus moving slower than a snail, it does with all caution of not hitting the giants.

Now this sweetheart of mine has only one drawback. It cannot fly :( How wonderful would it have been, if Wingardium Leviosa works on my bike :D

AI and me are the best of friends, for I can replay all good and bad things on my mind, when going on a ride with it and come to a conclusion - "this too shall pass away" (getting too philosophical ain't I :P) 

A simple 20-minute ride with it refreshes and rejuvenates me. Don't ask how. I don't know, but it does :) My life's mantra - Feel on top of the world? Feel completely lost? Feel like tearing someone into pieces?.... just get onto AI, raise the accelerator (make sure the road is devoid of people having a bad habit of passing ruthless comments on the quality of two-wheeler-ists driving) and go for a lonnnngggg ride, of course with a helmet on :)

Cheers,
