October 19, 2008, Sunday and i am already in the midst of realising my dream. I am a proud owner of Apache RTR 160, the bike the had been dreaming of since i was in Nagpur... I also own a digital camera - Cannon Powershot SD750. Ooooohh... its awesome. I have already shooted most of my friends... except those who have the biggest significance in my life as far as the word 'friend' go. Pratyush, Mayank, Sanket, Sid and Amar ..... Promit and his digicam are eagerly waiting for a reunion. Come soon.... and let that soon be 'very soon'
Amar thanks to you for sending the cam, i will always be indebted to u.
And as far as my Seabiscuit goes... thanks to all those people who helped me in realising my dream... I might have walked a lonely path towards realising it but for you guys..... the first one worth mentioning is Raj, our editor and my boss and the jack that lifted my life into a higher orbit... then comes Archana, Nirmal, Tanvi, Pooja, Shubhashish and Ashishji.... thanks to all of you.
Special thanks goes to Archana for making my first day on bike memorable...
Apache aka Seabiscuit is one hell of a bike... what sound, what colour, what speed, what pick-up.... u name it and it has it... it can put even a thoroughbred stallion to shame!!! But lets not get into the debate of how a mobike is comparable to horses... its something that only the rider can understand...

So October so far had been rocking. Had been different. And had been memorable. The October of 2008.... Good that i didn't go home. it was worth it... Bought it on 6th of Oct... the day of Mahasashti. And since then till today i have already tarversed the up, down, straight, rough and smooth patches of Mumbai and clocked 780 kilometres so far... another 220 kilometrs to go vefore i zoom beyond 50km per hour speed and much much beyond that... n when i am speeding... NO SOCIAL SERVICE PLEASE. Though i am there to trasport and transfer friends and foes for work and pleasure... but at times no body should come between Seabiscuit and Promit... what say!!
Well, i have also stacked myself with some accessories.. whose need only i can understand.
At times i feel the best times in life are those when you progress materialistically... when the emotions you have is only for material things and thats the crux of happiness. So what if some great men say 'the best things in life cannot be bought... ' very true... and to comlete the adgae.....'they have to be taken on installments or through a credit card' ... and thats what i have done... and am happy!!
