After quitting my previous job and a build-up of energy that had started bubbling under the psyche,I needed to get out of the system...It wasn't the inner urge to explore this time but the newly found one...I wanted to test and henceforth, stretch my limits as to how much I could tolerate my own SELF in the harshest of conditions when conscience tends to melt away and the aggresive alter ego takes over...If you control yourself in such circumstances,you can control a lot of your energies and guide them..It's like testing your ideals in trying circumstances..only the conditions are uncontrolled when you're out in the wild...
We started from Bangalore at dusk hours to take leverage of the cool weather...Energetic and seeking adventure as we disembarked on the 600+ km Rameshwaram journey,things seemed to be on the right track until it started raining plus a 20 km long jam on a pitch-black night...It was a sign of what was to come...After the serpentine moves through the traffic jam,we upped the ante.. and as the rain gods transformed light rain to heavy downpour,we kept moving on the dark road as the water tricked down our helmets (and we had no option but to gulp it)... those lights were the only things left in the whole world....surprisingly it rained for 150- 180 kms...Totally drenched in rain one of the mates hit the wall..he had no jacket so we made it out of a gunny bag!! and moved on group-courage..then it was open road,wind and raw sceneries...
One thing is for sure that if you're not someone with a soft corner for hard-core biking,you're not someone who should consider road trips...coz' as the bums get numb(:P) and continuous bumping mixes the bile juices in your belly giving a regurgitatory feeling,the chemical effects are definitely going to sabotage your emboldened stance...
