Tripping on Bikes and Life

Life takes a different trip, a trip on the ghats, just like the curves you don’t know what you’ll discover. You might come across something as beautiful as Wordsworth or Milton would describe as paradise. Or you might just end up on a broken road that slows you down, shakes you up and makes you fall.

I used to say to many people “be careful on a high, the higher you reach the harder you fall”, I’ve always been careful in that matter, I’ve always judged the height I rise to and always had a look back.

Biking is synonym of life. It’s a way I always looked at it, many would think otherwise. Every straight road, has bits to slow you down, at every curve you’re up for a surprise.

At the point in life when everything goes down, it’s hard to know what will hit you next or when you’ll be kissing gravel. Life hurts, so does biking. Life gives you joy, so does biking, you fall in life, you fall from your bike, but after a while you shake away the dust, see what went wrong, kick start your bike and ride on – same with life. You get your bike fixed after you fall; life fixes you as well (in its own mysterious way).

Biking is a synonym of life, if you haven’t tried it, you ought to try it.

Therapy

All of us have different forms of therapy, some love to read, write, exercise, yoga and all that to just move your attention from the daily ruckus and just be themselves for a change.

It’s kind of like healing your torn soul from time to time.

I like to do a lot of things; I do read and write for my own therapy. This is one of the reasons why I started this blog but my whole idea of starting this blog is not met, as yet.

Occasional randomness yes, it’s here. But what I really wanted was to share is thought randomness when I’m on my rides.

Many different thoughts come and go, there is hardly any time to note it down. But these thoughts that come between the rhythms of the thump and harmony of the winds is so pure, that I smile just too often.  Sharing them becomes difficult, explaining them even more so. There are very few people who get this, and those who do are core riders themselves. And we find it difficult sharing such pure thoughts with each other.

Riding heals your soul, makes it move too. clipping high speeds on the open highway, gives another high to your thoughts.

So until the next ride, let me try and make note of thoughts so that I can share it with you.
