This blog is our space to write about our thoughts, views and notes about our travels. Osho owned 90 Rolls Royces while being a Sanyasi …. The so-felt contradiction is very fascinating and hence the name !

Our first ride in Bangalore happened yesterday … A short 12 Km ride. There isn’t a stretch like our GCR or CRPF or even the GFR. The closest is probably the airport road, which we plan to try tomorrow to assess traffic conditions. The best thing about Bangalore is we burnt nearly 2/3rds of the … Read more
We finally got back on the saddle after 98 days !!! We last rode in the ISB campus during my term 1 and once we got back, for some strange reason we just did not ride. Even the fancy supercool PY Tshirts didn’t put us back on the saddle. Today too we tried to find … Read more
The cycle does make a difference !!! Yesterday my friend brought over his “hardly” used cycle, a Trek 3700. My trusted 4300 is a little rusted I thought, since the front brakes were touching the wheel and no matter how many times Raju tried fixing it the problem was just not fixed. I didn’t realize … Read more
It finally happened !! Ofcourse thanks to my dear Trek 4300 that has done 9600+ kms :):):) Today we planned a farewell ride to the Rashtrapatni, by riding upto her official residence. We met up at our trusted TP1 and then the agony started for me 🙂 I am really good on climbs especially when … Read more
Disclaimer right upfront – this blog does not refer to yesterday’s ride, especially Rajesh Tiwary’s teeny weeny puncture filled ride 🙂 but it’s inspired by it. Yesterday five of us from Gurgaon started off on a ride to Sanjay Van. Just near Ghitorni metro station Rajesh Tiwary’s bike had a puncture, then another, then another … Read more
On 30th May 2009, Krishnan and I woke up early and went for a cycle ride … Little knowing then that we were succumbing to a lifelong passion !! We were to meet some more folk at the Genpact signal. I was without a helmet for the first and last time. I got off the … Read more
Krishnan and I have been cycling around Gurgaon since 2009, almost three years now. Our daily rides and weekend rides were mostly trails and sometimes were road rides. Road was towards Delhi and all the trails were towards Sohna, interiors of Gurgaon. In just three years, most of our rides are road rides, all our … Read more
Today’s ride was on the newly refurbished Gurgaon Faridabad road and it is a dream road to ride on – hardly a single pothole and its wide enough for us cyclists to be safe. Also it has two interesting climbs, one at Gwal Pahadi and the other on the way back after Valley View besides … Read more
Earlier this week, Krishnan and I were riding with our fellow cycling friend Anand Sinha and we stopped at a place for the customary tea … This was really early in the morning and the tea shop owner was brushing his teeth and so was his wife. We wanted tea urgently, and the wife slowly … Read more
