Episode 235 : Soar

It will be a long two weeks. How well I can manage my company in a place full of people I do not know, remains to be seen.

Some day I'll fly

After that nasty fall in May last year, it took me a while to regain my confidence. It also took a while to be able to go off on my own- rides to Madras and back don't count, even when done in the night...

It was in April this year, that I finally confronted my fears. What happened in that ride deserves a post for itself. It was a fulfilling three-day journey where I enjoyed being on my own, learned a few things, laughed at my self and returned feeling much, much better.

The next solo trip was much longer, through territories I had never been to before. But it took 6 months to happen- better late than never, I suppose.

Some day I'll soar

It has been what, two months since I donned the riding suit? The memories of the last ride is slowly fading away, the image of the highway is beckoning to me and I have tonight between me and the start.

This time there is no route plan or booked accommodations, just Garud, me and the highway. I want to know what it is like to travel like that. Let's see if the "under the stars on New Year's Eve" happens this time.

'Someday you'll soar macha' he said. 'You already did that man, remember Mysore road?' he asked.

I smiled.

Someday I'll be so damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

It is time to soar because my wings are better than they were ever before.

Afterthought: Happy holidays everyone.
