It was one of those days today. Had a crazy little adventure.
The day didn't start too well for me. My toothbrush decided to disappear and i was already late for badminton. Cycling and badminton helped me to dispel all the negative energy accumulated from morning. That didn't help much as I had to make an emergency site visit... the site being 30 kms away and given the humidity and heat, I decided to drive. I was even more frustrated by the time I came home. So I decided to call everyone over to Kollage cafe, Law college road for a group therapy session. Our group therapy sessions include making fun of each other, exchanging sometimes useful- sometimes redundant information, planning more cycle rides and eating ...Getting there was not a problem but coming back, unfortunately- was... It's the first day of Navratri...
Law college road was blocked till Nal stop... bumper to bumper traffic. We rode till the canal road signal on the mostly pedestrian free footpath, but that signal was impossible to negotiate riding or walking with the cycle. So Aditya and I lifted our cycles over our head, carried them through the stagnant traffic on to the one-way canal road where we rode on the cycle track till SNDT and under the flyover to Karve Road... Some people jeered, some laughed... maybe it was good entertainment for the poor stuck people.
I just wanted to tell the motorists... 'hey... I'm reaching home in 10 mins... and you?' ;)
Never felt more alive!

ReplyDeleteWalking is like pedaling an imaginary cycle ;-)
ReplyDeletehey! nice to see you guys here! ;)
ReplyDelete@Aditya: It was super awesome! The torn part of my jeans got stuck in the pedal, so it took me a few extra seconds to start, by which time you would have crossed the canal road. Then I crossed under the bridge to Karve road
@Coolkarni: It would be very very phunnee if you walked as if you were pedaling... Maybe running is more like it... But walking around the city is as interesting and therapeutic as is cycling.
