My lunch break

It's one of those times that when you sit down to type and your mind starts wandering about what you should be writing. I'm sitting here on my desk in office with a hot cup of coffee. It's lunch hour and everyone has gone out. The other day one of my friends told me that people who write are usually loners. And also having a blog of your own is a bigger indication that you're one of the loner types. I try not to get perturbed. I like company around me. I see myself as a very socially active person. But they're times when I guess I want to be left alone. Connect with myself. Take a day out, go for a ride or simply walk around with no clue where to go. I switch off my phone those times. Or simply write my blog. That doesn't exactly make me a loner, does it? Writing helps me reflect and pause. Pause and think about where am heading in life. It gives me peace.

These days the highlight of my day usually comes from my inbox! It's the chain emails that are floating around. Someone sends a forward and then you got 40 mails with feedback and comments which just keep getting better! My cousins, aunts, and uncles are crazy! Anyways.. My lunch hour almost up. I need to go back to work now. Maybe next time I can write better. Work drains you off your brains! Cheers!

Me and my Bike


I own an Avenger. This cruiser bike was made by Kawasaki Motors, Japan and further re-tuned and launched on Indian roads under the name, Bajaj Avenger. It's close to 200 cc and I simply love it from the day I laid my hands on it. It's a joy to ride, trust me. Whenever am feeling low and upset about something, I go for a long ride to get myself in focus. The wind against the face is a wonderful feeling. It helps one calm down and reflect on things. Being on a bike on your own is probably the best way to spend time with oneself. The revering up of an engine is the sweetest sound to the ear. It's like adrenaline rushing thru' you.. I just love the feel of that moment.. A car might be comfort (and a luxury in India!) and convenient but then nothing can beat the personal feel of a bike.. Take a ride to know it! Cheers..
