. The main villain was pocket money, then my parents consent.I'm just an amateur who is crazy about ride but haven't ridden much, but i love xbhp travelogues alot and I'm a frequent visitor. One day when i was reading a travelogue from Xbhp my dear chum "Xutao" came in, i introduced and lectured him about xbhp, it was his idea of writing my own travelogue and posting it on Xbhp,
for that Im really thankful to him
.My ride was all of a sudden planning, time 10:00pm after our dinner, thanks alot for my loving pappa who was boozed at that time and however luckily he agreed for my ride
, when i asked him politely, pappa can i go for a ride to ponmudi tomorrow, my 1st solo ride which i was dying for.. I was totally surprised after hearing a yes from him, i ran to search for route map, confirmed the route, messaged my chums wether anyone is interested... But at this very short notice no one was able to ride with me..Immediately after confirming the route, without another thought i went to sleep, slept well as i didn't began to dream about the trip.Morning came with a bright smile on my face and excitement all over my body. Freshened ASAP went to my mom happily for breakfast. Pappa was looking at me like do u really want to go for a ride,as he was concerned with my safety. I convinced him that i would ride safely and call him when i reach my destination. After bidding farewell to my loving family i set off towards my dream ride.
So from now it's on our own, my beloved ride n myself. I was riding with a blurred mind, lots of questions was popping inside, whether i will be lost, am i ready for this, will i get into any' accident, all these questions which were unanswered in my mind, I was riding slowly. Even several thoughts to back out from this ride also came into my head. I rode with a disturbed mind for around 20 km, after seeing a police man who was kind enough to guide me the correct road, i felt totally free for all my fears... I was happy, i was free, i felt that all over
This freedom was addictive, and i was totally addicted for this.

Started the journey through the forest, through the 22 hairpins, accompanied by the mother nature. I was enjoying every single moment, in the rain, saw a pack of riders standing under the shade to escape the showers. It was between the road, my beloved ride, me and the mesmerising nature's beauty. I reached the top of hill, saw another check post they took the entry fee n my ride's identity. They told me that I have to ride another km to reach the top most. Some were standing there enjoying this beautiful climate then they saw me,they might think how crazy i was fully wet in the rain and again i just rode past them with a smile. Now the showers were like micro irrigation and every drop was cheer drops. I reached the top, parked my beloved ride. Oh i dont know how to express my feelings i felt at that time, i was laughing madly, tears rolled down out of my eyes, i had outburst of emotions filled with laughter and tears. I felt good, i felt like I did something. There was a small walk towards the top, i saw many others enjoying ponmudi many teenagers were there as gangs, i was all alone, but also i was totally enjoying. I walked towards a hill where no one except me was present. I sat there in midst of rain, clouds passing by me and the chillness, didn't spend much time there, but even a second spend there was worth it..I rang my home before my return and I wished to say to my paa," I'm happy paa, and i love you alot".. I returned from there, after spending an hour, on my way back took some photographs in rain, i had no option, took my phone n began clicking in rain. After bidding farewell to ponmudi i was still riding in rain, in a average speed, a teenager like me overtook me in a yamaha fz. I was very much impressed by the way he rode and I tried to catch him. I caught him after some turn and waved him a thumbs up for his superb riding style, we rode together for some time and he deviated with a bye.
And after that there were no pit stops, straight to my mom. That night was a special one for me, because of the tiredness, because of the beauty i saw,and most importantly because of my dream come true


...Sorry guys for the low quality pics, had no option other than mobile cam in the rain..
