Body doing ok!
It was around 7 hours I had been riding continuesly… And it was going to be another 10-12 hours of continous drive to Pune… We both (me and my Suzuki GS 150R) were doing good… The additional overdrive 6th gear was helping me hover around 80kmpr at a comfortable 6000rpm… Morning time went by fresh, quick and yet comfortable… So far so good… I knew it was now that the real test starts!!!
………I should have…
(GO) NO FREE left turn...
Funny??? Actually it isn’t… Numerous people including me passed this square each day with the (GO) NO FREE left turn… The paper sticker put up by someone to convert the ‘NO’ to ‘GO’ for fun/convenience/timepass/etc had changed the whole meaning… I noticed it… I even clicked it from my cam… But did not get down from my cab and give a minute to correct it… 
But thankfully it was corrected by someone, before my inner voice got strong enough to make me spend few minutes and act…
Somewhere we all feel that things need to change… Maybe even wish that we contribute… But then nothing happens until we act………
Each individual acts!!! ……… I should have…

“Hey, you know which temple is this???”
Surprised with a unexpected question… “Ummmm… Well, No!”
“Mate you should have at least got to know something, before you bowed…”
“Well, yeah…” Reluctant to get up… He just turning around, reads the paint… “Sri Muneswara Swamy temple…”
A pause… His reluctance to move that bit reminded me of those people worshiping Dagdusheth Ganapati standing in the middle of the road… Read the rest of this entry »
