    Beautifully expressed thoughts. The text clearly shows a lot of hurt and turmoil in your state of mind. And the bike ride momentarily takes them away. They come flooding back once the ride gets over. But you will see yourself through it. Albeit with a lot of pain, but with time, the pain will slowly subside. And you will come out stronger and more importantly a richer person, richer from within.

    I noticed the several questions that have come up for introspection. You may feel that you NEED a companion to be happy. That is not really true. Real true happiness comes from within and not from without. If your "true" happiness comes from external sources then that is shortlived and not "true", tantamount to be called dependance and addiction. Strange as it may sound, but this is what it is. And it is difficult to accept this fact. Try to look for happiness within you. The pain that one feels with the sudden absence of a companion next to oneself is merely the withdrawal symptom. As I said, try to look for the peace from within.

            Another Honest thought from my heart

            That is by far, one the best short works I have read on motorcycling from an Indian author in a long time.
            Sunny ... To be honest, from the time I have been a member of this forum, I have been wishing to be among the most "noticable and recognized" members but had never got a chance. I am happy that now people know me

            By the way ... call me Prashant .. bhogvan is my last name and the username ...

                I like that concept. Dont look for happiness outside you, will just make you dependent. Happiness from within! Man! Why cant we have a thread for philosophy? Should be very interesting. We must have one.

                And yes, the write up was straight out of the heart. Brilliant

                  Amazingly written. Struck many chords and stirred many old demons inside. I now have one more fellow biker's logs to wait and read for. Great pics as well..

                        Prashant,
                        M just left speechless after reading your text. It was stunning. Sometimes in life everybody goes through this sort of feeling, these emotions. But bro i think you will get out of this phase very soon. Just keep riding and sharing these gr8 trip logs of urs with us. Pics are amazing. Thanks buddy.
                        all these were sleeping in me till this time, didnt allow them to wake up....but man you have awakened them and m thankful to you for that. May be i will be able to get the answers myself and if you get them please share with us too.
                        Cheers buddy

                          I just got to read the whole text now, and really feel I can connect to what you have to say in this small log of yours. Wonderfully written, and more importantly you have expressed yourself beautifully. Believe me when I say I have been through this very stage, and trust me everything is not as bad as it might seem right now. When you will come out of this (and YOU WILL), it would all be even better than ever before.

                          Thanks for sharing it all with us. You had a really good ride, which perhaps did answer a few of your questions, while a few others were left unanswered, for good.
                          :)
