Her First Birthday ride to Mondarmoni...


It was d day 6th October 2008 I got her from Rolta. Who's she??? Guess....It was Black, my dad insisted on red but Black being my fav color I went for it. I got a loadzz of experiences with her. My girlfriend never told me, but I am sure she envy her most in dis world.
6th October 2009 it was her 1st birthday and I was going to cross 10k on the Odo. I was wondering how it can be celebrated; Oyshee suggested for Mondarmoni the lonely beach of West Bengal. I am glad to show my pulsy the sea nd beach on her 1st Birthday….

The plan was done b4 and we set it out on day of her birthday. On the 6th, Tuesday I set my tripmeter to zero and set out from home at 6:30 to meet my brother Abhinaba at Baguiati Bus stop. I was so eager to start on,I took a small breakfast of a cup of tea and 2 biscuits. We were about to go to Mourigram to pick Oyshee from her home. Abhinaba came late as always. After a short chitchat we started rolling on. On reaching EM Bypass, I started my run for life drive as there was hardly any traffic on d road. We reached Mourigram via Hooghly Bridge. Abhinaba hardly knew the road and seeing the congestion in Andul road, he got frustrated. We den started from Mourigram Bridge towards NH6. Within no time we arrived at Alampur. Great roads coupled with the daylight pushed me and my beast to the limits; I maintained speeds of 75-85 kmph. Being his 1st ride with me it seemed hard for Abhinaba to maintain the pace with me. On a couple of occasion I touched the three digit on speedo, as my pillion was not so comfortable with that speed. We stopped directly at Kolaghat. It was showing just 86kms in the odo. We got our breakfast and tea at a roadside hotel, we wished to halt at Sher-e-Punjab but we had to make our halt short..





Soon we took the left turn from Kolaghat, we encountered the proposed 4 lane Digha Road, where the roadwork was stopped for a long time due to some problem. The road has many divesions, I tried to count them, alike the bumpers we encountered while offroading Gadiara, but after hitting some "du hat chorie thaka" potholes, I just concentrated on driving my beast carefully.We could maintain an average speed of 60 to 65 upto Nandakumar, when we reached there the watch showed it 11.15am. We took a right turn from there and continued journey towards Digha. The road was the standard two lane state highway, and road was sourrounded by some breathtaking views. We halted somewhere in that road for some shutter click. Abhinaba was quite exited by those sceneic beauties, but I was bit worried about the road condition after Chaulkhola at that time coz it was raining there and we didn't know what is waiting for us....We again started rolling nd reached Chaulkhola by Contai Bypass,the only road after NH6 having a good condition. But after Chaulkhola, we took a left turn and we saw the 12kms road wating for us is in a terrible condition. Everything was present there to slow down our pace. It took about more than 35mins to cross that 12km road. Finally at around 1.45pm we could see d sea infront of us, and really I can't express what I felt at that moment.



No people, no cars, no noise....just the sea and we infront of it. There were some fishing boats with fishermen. We stopped going near to the sea. I was eager to touch the water and after a while I was in the water, nd then Abhinaba too. I took some pictures and tried some pose with my beast and returned to the shore coz our everything was on our bikes. We spent more than a hour on the beach,never knew when the time passed clicking, riding, bathing. Then we saw it was getting late and started our journey back from there nearly at 3.00pm. We stopped at Contai bazar to have our lunch of paratha and chicken kosha. Then we set off our return legs towards NH6. I was trying to get on NH6 on the daylight. The road after Kolaghat had frightened me. But it got dark before we reach the highway. We halted at kolaghat around 6.45. Took a little tea break at Sher-e-Punjab and again started our journey back home. We took the road through which we came, dropped Oyshee at her place nd rode back to our sweet home around 9.00pm.
It was a terrific experience for me nd surely also for the other two. I was damn tired, This was my longest trip till now..386km.........I was happy. I liked the journey.....and I wish to do more than it in future.....I just want to keep rolling nd rolling nd rolling.........
