The Motorcycle Diaries

Me Tyson Pawang and Basant were chatting over a bowl of water melon pieces, and suddenly we decide to go to pune on bikes(2 bikes, CBZ and pulsar). So plan to leave Mumbai early morning so that we can reach pune before the sun gets really angry. But plans are meant to be broken, and we leave mumbai at around 10.30 am with the sun smiling on our heads. We try to blame one another for the late start, it was a good debate but without conclusion. We thought to go at steady and slow pace( we got this idea from the rabbit and tortoise story), gave up the idea and hit the roads. We maintain a good speed of 70 - 80 kph. National Highway 4 was good and very few vehicles, thanks to Mumbai-pune express highway most of the vehicles take that road( 2 wheelers not allowed on the express highway).
Took a break at Lonavala, had tea at the Gurukripa hotel, here we realised that as Basant approaches pune his stupidity level increase. He starts asking stupid question and makes illogical statements. With sun still smiling, we hit the road again with an aim to reach pune by 2.30pm. This time reached Basant house 15 mins before time. Had daal bhati for lunch, watching Pakistani batsmen whack Indian bowlers. After resting for sometime, left to meet Pawangs bhaiji who was a Bikes dealer( oohh forgot to mention why trip was planned, pawang wanted to buy a bike from his bhaiji). Had a good look at few bikes, pawang somehow converged to a pulsar 150 cc, in the mean time Basant Kr Gupta suddenly decides to buy a bike for himself( its all Pune's fault BKG goes mad in pune). Anyways BKG bike deal is not yet finalised, it will in few days. Panawg finalises the deal and takes the bike.
Now want, everyone wanted to play Pool in chuddu's office. But chuddu was very busy with his project submission which was due on the same day. Chuddu finishes his project by 11.30 pm, had dinner. Chuddu suggest a place called JUICE WORLD where you get good juices. But will be closed by 12.30 am. We again hit the roads with a target, we reach the target at 12.35am shutters are half closed. But Tyson somehow manages to convince them to serve. The strawberry juice is amazing, ice cream with strawberry and ice cream with mango can't be described. YOu should go and have it youself at JUICE WORLD on MG ROAD. We go back and sleep at chuddus place. There was a fight on where will BKG sleep, because our man likes to swim in sleep. It was Pawangs turn to take the bashing. We sleep deciding to hit the roads by 8.30 am. BKG left the place early as he wanted to go home before 7.30 am. Pawang wakes up with a sore back, this time around it seems BKG was running. We again start late, reach BKGs home, had lunch.
And start our journey back to Mumbai with three bikes and chuddu replacing BKG, BKG stayed back in pune( he wanted to have more box of chocolates). Not much to say about the return journey, except that, the sun was laughing not smiling this time. We went for three pit stop strategy. With lots of refueling with juices on every pit stop.
And I sleep with my bodyaches.
Coming soon in blogs near you - photos and videos of pune trip.
