OneRideOneIndia-day-1


Its almost 12 at night and i am still confused about what to take not to take,a massive ride actually a life on bike so needing everything what is available but cannot take all so had a fag and started looking for few things which i felt will be needing the  most like tent,sleeping bag,few spares etc.came home by 1am and in another 6 hours to go for my life's biggest ride(till now),took bath had dinner and just organised things so that morning will not have to rush for packing.it was almost 2 when i hit the bed.
As usual alarm had no effect on me wanted to get up by  4 am actually got up at 5 am,then the rush factor what i am blessed with started,it was 7 and i am alreading getting calls from riders who all are coming to meet me at India Gate .Reached around 7:45 at India Gate and saw good nos of riders there was surprised to see the nos was expecting low attendance.we had chat and got few suggestions and directions from riders who have been to northeast part of India as our first main hit was towards northeastern part of India .we started approx by 8:45am and the day 1 of onerideoneindia started.
Till Northeast i was companies by ramit who will be taking train from guwhati for returning to delhi,our first day was not very easy as weather was not in happy mood,got the fuel filled at hp petrol pump at nizzamudin area and headed towards mathura where aman choudhary is waiting for us with jalebis and kachodis.our first stop was at palwal ordered aloo payaz ka parotha and curd,though was told to avoid curd and salad at road side dabhas but avoided the suggestions and ordered for curd as sometimes you should do what you want.we reached mathura waiting for aman at petrol pump near highway,he came and our first destination was nearest beer shop,sorry to involved driniking and riding but a beer in 40+ temp will not harm much.we are sitting at road side small beer shop and came to know that this is how beer sold on highways as there were very few as called beer bars you will find on highways.we hit the road again after a chilled beer each and trust me it was refreshing,i am not looking to go away for heat as i know the time i have sellected will give me chance to see all India but again will bless me with all weather also.our next stop was 10 km from the beer shop at some resort at dowaba(kindly correct me if place name is not correct),agian ordered beer and few snacks and started after an hour towards agra.evening spent at a lodge by name Balwant lodge good clean place with coolers i guess enough for travelers coming from 45 degrees hot weather.the day ended with few chilled beers beef kabas and mutton biryani from nai ki mandi.
