From Home :)

[chirag singal]

Hello everyone :D
Checking all the emails and updates after 13 days !! 
Last 13 days were days of my life ! And it was all possible because I had support and wishes of each and everyone of you. Dr. Ali Poonawala - thanks for updating the posts here regularly :') , I managed to save a date from the pack you gave me at the start (Keeping it as a memoir)...
T Ashok Sir, the teenage man kept me motivated throughout the ride and kept telling me about everyone here.
Vivek, Mohan, Puneeth, Pradeep, Parag Sir, Promise and so many more names I have here to write down. to whom I am soooo grateful that I would never be able to express what have you all contributed in my life.

This ride, changed a lot of things about me (even appearance :P )
People I met on the way, the response, the joy I shared, the situations I got into, the excitement at facebook posts - Everything was just unimaginable.

I completed the ride, 5 days before schedule. Bangalore - Jaipur in 11 days.

I will take a lil time to write the ride story, still collecting all the moments.
I am yet to meet my Dad, he is currently out of station, will shave after that :D

A big cheers to BOTS and esp RR Madiwala (Rakesh Sir), he was there alone till 11:30 in the night of 13th April (few hours before I started the tour) , and fixed my bike even though the mechanics went home by 9 and he had closed the shop for the day.

I am missing Bangalore though. but happpy to be Home after an year.
Destination or Journey : which is more important ? I don't know...

Take care, keep riding. Ride safe.
I am yet to figure out where did my cyclocomp and niterider went missing in a day from Home :S

Love you loads,
Chirag

Congrats Chirag! I can imagine other things will also start disappearing now, after the cyclocomp/niterider - as long as you stay @home :)

[chirag singal]

Thanks you everyone !! Maa and Dad are really overwhelmed to see that I have such great friends in Bangalore. They are no longer worried about anything related with cycling now. I have started cycling in and around Jaipur and the response here is till now very strange. People tend to overtake you esp. because you don't belong on these roads. They don't even have helmets on motorbikes at times, so when they see me on a bicycle with helmet, they come really close and ride like right next to me. One of them even tried holding my Pannier this morning. I guess it will take me time to make them literate about the manners on the roads here. :D
Trying to meetup with other cyclists here. There is a fb group of bikers and I came to know that only 1 out of so called 220 bikers in the city, uses the bike to commute !!

Hahhh Jaipur still has a loooooooong way to come up ! Yesterday I noticed a cycling lane on one of the busiest streets here which was again covered with street vendors, car and bike parking ! 

And yes ! I shaved and cut my hair :P

[chirag singal]

Thank*

[Hariharan R]

you are in quite a good shape, i imagined worst.

Youyou

[Ali Poonawala]

Would not have recognised you without the beard if you would have passed by :)

[Shaleen Tongia]

Amazing. Great Achievement. Kudos for you.

Wish I will be available on the last point to welcome you.

[Chidambaran Subramanian]

What if the beard was the secret to your stamina? Imagine the time it will take for you to regain it!

Hahaha !! Thanks for your insights about my original look :P Well this trip changed a loads of things.
I am soooooo calm now, I have a strange stupid smile on my face for 24 x 7 now..
I had to meet a guy in order to confirm my internship here, so his PA said, that he is out somewhere and I have to wait outside for a while. An hour later, the PA was surprised to see me still seated in the lobby area. I was just sitting on that "cushioned" chair and that's it. I guess to shoo me away he said that, the guy will take another 2 hours, and I just replied "Okay, no problem." (and I continue staring at the wall) while he stares at me. 
Life is good, but DAMN I AM MISSING BANGALORE SOOOOOOOO MUCH !!
