Re: Home run!

Thanks for the support guys. I'll continue with my stay and return leg in a short while. This log will be more on the reading part and less on pics.

Re: Home run!

Divya bhai: Leave all other work and finish the narration. We all are eagerly waiting for the same. Really addictive.

And for the incident, will tell you over the GTG.

Re: Home run!

Have a doubt related to your bike's issue that popped up.

If the issue is related to starter relay, it should only trouble you from starting the bike. Why would a running bike come to halt ?

Also push start should work, right ? (I don't do it but for worse case)

Re: Home run!

Will resume soon. Yesterday was a total blackout.

Exactly. We will uncover it soon. The problem happened again in Vizag on the return leg.

Re: Home run!

Nostalgia is like a grammar lesson. You find the present tense and the past perfect!

Our rider rolled up in the porch and he could see his mom talking on phone through the window. He gave a short honk and flashed the headlamps once to draw her attention. She strained her eyes through her glasses to see who had arrived at such an ungodly hour.

She came out and the rider took off his helmet to lend her an idiotic grin. Actually, on the inside he was scared of giving her a heart attack but thankfully she was composed and confused at the same time. He had never seen her so blank before. She only murmured on phone - "Nishu aa gaya hai". Nishu is our rider's pet name BTW.

The voice of phone (dad; mom was talking to dad) replied: "Arrey waah, ab plant se jaldi nikalta hun."
Mom: "Bike se aa gaya hai ye ladka!"
Papa: "Kyaaaaa!!!"

A strange feeling of fear crept within the rider. It was different. Not the fear of naxals, of being held for ransom or killed. It was the kind of fear he used to get as a kid when caught by his parents/teachers after doing something mischievous. Thankfully, he was not punished.

After a cold water bath and yummy snacks prepared impromptu, he waited for his dad to come. His dad came and was delighted to see the warrior back home.
Dad asked him his only question, "how many kms?" to which the rider responded, "about 2200!".
Soon the rider came to know that his dad had broadcast-ed with pride that his maniac of an offspring rode 2200 km to meet him and that was such a fulfilling feeling.

Now, our rider wanted to eat his favorite delicacies and visit his favorite places in the city - Zoo, Jagannath temple, Library, school, meet his favorite teacher at school who was about to retire in a month, visit the in construction house and the newly built shopping mall.

Ha ha ha. Thanks.
Yes the issues persist but I'm glad pics are visible.

Re: Home run!

Beautiful pictures!
Did you find out what was stopping the bike from starting near that naxal prone area? Curious about that

Re: Home run!

I thought I had figured it out. But when the issue haunted me again in the return leg, I knew something was not right. In time buddy.
And thanks for the appreciations.
