             I was really being bored at the end of the year. The previous post was all about it. I was willing to go somewhere to escape from this mere responsibilities and take rest for a while. One night I was searching for some place to visit, I opted for Vizag mainly. But in Roadrollers I came to know a guy Srirup who had planned to go to Mondarmoni which I visited before. We were just chatting and the fruit of chat was the plan of a ride to Chilka Lagoon in Orrisa. It was a green lagoon beside Bay of Bengal and a narrow passage is the connector between  the lagoon and the sea. The plan was all set to be two and a half day tour and in utter surprise new guys were being interested in it. At Last we became 7 riders in 6 steeds. All were ready to hit the road on 29th night @ 3am.


Day 0
I had some personal commitment on 29th so I reached to Abishek's mess near Chingrighata around 7 in the evening and after a while Arko and his brother joined us. We stayed in the mess to have some sleep. I have an idea why the sleep is needed and also I was tired, so I felt asleep until Abhishek and Srirup came back from Srirup's house. After 11 each and everyone tried their most to but the excitement of the ride was on full in everyone. At last we hit the road at nearly 2.30am in the night but a sad incident happened just before, Srirup's P180 had got a puncture, so he came as a pillion of Abhi. Pikon Da and Sayan was waiting for us in front of Infinity Tower(Sec-V), they were told to come at Chingrighata Crossing. After a little chit chat we started our ride. As soon as we turned on bypass a dense fog was there to slow us down. But in a while we get out from it. I was leading, then Abhishek, Sayan Arko and Pikonda. We crossed 2nd Hooghly bridge and in a short while we were on NH6 through Kona Expressway. We maintained a speed of 70-75 and in no time we reached Kolaghat, our first pit stop. We were planning for some famous "Singara" for Abhishek but there was nothin left for us :( The watch showed us around 4.15. We had some tea and biscuits and a small photo session and again hit the road towards Kharagpur. The sun had just left his bed and was preparing to get out in d sky and we the rollers were rolling on our way.
