Saturday
It was a Saturday like any other. The only difference being that India actually thrashed Australia in the T20 match. I was supposed to meet my biker buddies at Shivaji Park Barista at 10:00pm.
Shivaji Park Barista- 10:30 PM
The scene was not like every Saturday. The place was teeming with traffic with horns blaring all around. So we decided to move out to Bandra Reclamation.
Once settled we felt like having tea. And Prasad said. “How about a short ride to Karnala for tea and biscuits”. It reminded me of the crazy days when we used to ride out to Pune at 12 in the night. And so all of us head back home to fetch our riding gear.
Chembur 1AM
We are at the usual meeting place and Prasad says “guys where do u wana ride out”. I give a cant help but smile knowing fully well that he wants to go for a longer ride. So we decide to ride out to Lonavla. A short burst on the twisties and back.
Belapur -2AM.
First stop
Sanket starts with his partition joke and has Deepak starts imagining what his butt looks like. We ride out after a 10 min break. It’s a heaven riding out again in the darkness. Its very cold though and my teeth rattle like a bullet engine at the Panvel bypass.
Khopoli-3:45 AM
We stop at our favorite Dhaba. The guys remembering the last time they had Chicken here. We neatly divide ourselves so that the guys eating non-veg occupy 1 table and and the veggies the other. We're having a good time when the waiter beaks the news that they have no chicken. I think the guys are heart broken but the take it quite well and to my surprise order Veg.:)
The Dhaba-3:55 AM
Sumone orders Maaza and Salil starts with the maaza joke. Meanwhile Vinod is busy explaining his adventures of night riding on NH17. The food arrives and to everybody’s delight with chicken.
4:30 AM
We move out and Pari asks us to head back home he was short of petrol.
5:15 AM
Halt at a bus stop at Belapur with Salil complaining that his butt which was like BUN PAV was now like a sliced bread :D and so the butt discussion starts.
6:30 AM
I am back home refreshed thinking just when we thought the busy life was getting better of us we were back with a bang.
