    Hard Torque Approved

    The Hitchcock effect comes through with the realization of how small everything is. Even the moon must fear the mountains that we tread through, lest it scrapes it's beautiful face.

    A beautiful piece, thanks for sharing!

      Thank you for the approval Sunny. And yes, mountains have always had a humbling effect on us.
      Thanks also for the appreciation.

        Very well written. as many stars to the article as there are words. Love the way you touch up on almost every aspect of the subject. Bows!!!

        One interesting observation. Some of the aspects mentioned are alien to many people down the south. Here we come across hills and not mountains. While any attempt to compare the experience is absolutely ridiculous, I cant but admit that sheer size of the mountains itself leaves one enticed.

        Especially those locations where one is surrounded by mud and greenery while a stream of fresh and cold river is flowing deep down.... Boy!!! Absolute bliss. Wish to ride on those hill sometime. Been there long back in a bus. But that was before I descovered the fun on two wheels.

          Beautifully worded and as clearly written as a sparkling mountain stream. It does makes one ponder, if only for a moment about life, which is otherwise is spent in the daily mundane tasks.

          Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!

            Your words have always impressed me. I like that philosophical outlook to motorcycling. Thank you Sandeep sir.

              Oh! Mountain, how big are you

              thats real good one. if we see it in the bike prospective then there would be no more words need to express it the way you have done it Chacha. but there are a lot of other faces of situation life and other words that could be used here which can be defined with the same poem. its just that the preception and experience of a person would make him that what is the size of the mountain and he would think

              Oh! Mountain, how big are you.

              i hope one day i am able to scale the heights of the mountain that i have been trying to scale. then i would like to say Oh! Mountain is that all you had. but this question would take rather a strong man who can face all the heights with the all the will and zeal that he has.

              thanks for writing

              i would love to write an article one day
