  • Chapter 2 - Garhmukteshwar - Chul out of Frustration

    Previous Parts




    It was like I became a monster...I did tasted blood and now I wanted more. After my last ride..I wanted another one and wanted it badly and the important aspect was I wanted it SOLO....Many said that its never wise to ride long in solo mode...but Mein bhi dheedh hoo....I just wanted to feel the burning sensation....where's the fun in learning from others experience....It always fun to experience the rush after committing the MISTAKE....the unexpected thing...so clubbed my comp off with with my week offs and planned (not one of my good virtues I found out) it out.







    21st was the D-day so set my alarm at 5:00 am and tried to sleep but just like always; sleep fairy visited around 3:00 AM and next thing I know My Dad waking me up at 5:00 asking me to shut the alarm off. You all know me, I respect my father (READ - BIOLOGICAL PARTNER OF MY MOM WHO DONATED HIS SPERM FOR THE BEST CAUSE OF HIS LIFE...ME), so switched the alarm off and went back to sleep (MISTAKE No 1). Woke up around 9:00 AM, already 4 hrs late for the trip. Did my chores took the CAM and was trying to leave the home by 9:30AM but No No No....out of all the days he chose this day to cook dosas and out of love for me asked me how much would I like to have...ummmm I'm already late whats the worse it can result to..NO TRIP right??? it can be done later but DOSA Wins....I stayed back for food (MISTAKE No 2) Now if you are Late for something, Lets do it the right way...Lets do it by Indian Standard...and we call it "Fashionably Late" so after everything I left my place by 11:00 AM (6 hrs FASHIONABLY LATE) Tanked up LiLLY and Off I go...

    Destination - Garhmukteshwar
    Distance - 120 KMs
    Why - Solo ride
    Real Reason - Wanted some time alone with myself...helps me think..
    Now you must be wondering WTH - and I will go on saying none of your freakin business

    Normally this ride should not take more than 5 hrs max (If all things are at right place)...4 hrs up-down and 1 hr which includes butt relaxation breaks...and my Dad thinks I'm at Nehru Place (MISTAKE No 3)..Now the Godz ain't happy with me...Highway had this smog/fog kinnda thing which was making photography a real pain so tucked the cam back into my backpack. once I'm out of GZB radius real fun begins:

    I started thinking about random stuff (which are not really random but really Important things in my life i.e My future, my choices & my blah blah blah)
    I started talking about things, I had this huge argument with myself and I stopped for a Fag. I can be a real ***** sometimes and I stopped talking to myself. I had to calm myself down coz I had no one else to talk to....




    Main highlight of this was I was in retro mode..with me humming only old numbers of kishore...you know just humming the initial 2 lines of the song and then moving on with another song...who can remember the whole song...

    Anyways with all these Reached Hapur and did this horrible mistake of not taking the bypass but going through hapur (MISTAKE No 4)...Now BAPU always said that Real India is in the Villages and I did found that out...I had to navigate though a village and farms on make shift roads but the Air I breathed made it all worth it and I totally got a kick out of breaking the silence in these places by roaring LiLLY up. maneuvered Lilly for around half an hr through some curves, holes and don't know what all...but in the end I saw this make shift Hut/temple in the middle of the road and vast nothingness after that and the FOG/SMOG was not helping at all. Parked Lilly and asked for a tea from the near by tea stall and tried to explore...The Huge NOTHINGNESS was nothing but Ganges Riverbed....and it had a good feeling to it...so with a hot chai and smoke I felt good...coz I'm at half way point and it was 2:30 PM...Now I realized something...which scared the living shit out of me...Till now I was having this rhythm of LiLLY's thump with me..and It was making me secure coz I can run away from anything..but now..I'm at NO Where...no one knows me...NO One I knew, does not know about my where about....If something happens I will be in deep shit..with these thoughts I took a leave at 2:45 PM....once LiLLY was raved up...I was in the ZONE...was feeling Like KING of the road again..and headed back home...now an important observation Highay winds can kill you...I experienced it...I negotiated tuns at around 100 Km/hr which was fun...but mix it with hard and fast winds...My LiLLY was swaying like anything.....after one experience..I was crusing at 60 rest of the time....




    What I learned:
    MISTAKE No 1 - Try to be on time...it helps sometimes...in my case beating the traffic
    MISTAKE No 2 - Always eat to live....not Live to eat (my case...i have to give more thoughts in this one)
    MISTAKE No 3 - Always make someone aware of your where about...it helps
    MISTAKE No 4 - Have to buy a good GPS...mapmyindia on my cell is crap

    Charge your Cells for CAM a week in advance. :-( Over all learning...Tee and Shorts, not a proper attire for riding no matter how short the ride is...

    What I Accomplished:
    Destination - Garhmukteshwar - DONE
    Distance - 120 KMs - Covered
    Why - Solo ride - DONE
    Real Reason - Wanted some time alone with myself...helps me think - Not Helped much but did charted something out..lets see
    Now you must be wondering WTH - and I will go on saying none of your freakin business - AGAIN..None of your business

    till next chul....

      ^^^bro, though your expressions on the trip-log, are very free-minded [open & lil' profane ], but just for a curiosity, what's your ride (as you said Lilly)? N did you use the voice nav. of MapMyIndia maps (pre-loaded ones) on that road?

      Motorsport is fun. Safety is a mandate. Be in shape & ride long
