| The Gurudwara we visited at Night in Patna |
15th may I am off to a
wedding of a friend - harsha Mishra , a daughter of a priest from Patna with a streak of adventure in her, and her family encouraged her,so happy for her lifestyle, yes she is getting married a tad early , but then am sure it is for the better, we had met and spend a
evening together, 5 months back, she was just 18 at that time, and we had a
meal and shared some press together and today 6 months later I along with 3 of
my biker friends are off to Patna, 486 KM approx. each way to attend her
wedding and watch her get married and start a new phase of life.
It was s spontaneous decision
to attend the wedding and it was a great decision for sure in hindsight,
15th morning we
were to start at 0600 hours and I was ready by 0615, but the Travel Gods had
other plans and we were on our way by 0730 hours,
It was a pleasant day, temperature
was 29 degrees, and we were at Chowka, We
fueled up, 45 liters of fuel and odometer reading was 25417, we were on our way,
the clock read 0800,
foods ok, slightly pricey for a dhaba but, BUT for the female travellers good news, the bathroom are good and very usable,
And the security guard who
helps Folks Park is a hoot to watch a he goes about flagging down cars for a meal
We were at Ranchi by 1025 hours
and had covered almost 130 km by mid morning,
A few more hours on the road,
was a pleasant drive and we made good time, as the car raced along the highway,

A few hours later we were
at Jhumritillaya, and was met by a rider Sameer Ahmed who was waiting for us on
the highway how nice of him,

some chit
later we indulged in having some yummylicious Lassi and reminiscing rides we
had done together a few years back, it was a pleasure to relax and catch up on
where some of our friends are and then we were on our way once more headed towards
Barhai, reroute to Patna
We reached Barhai at 1350
hours , not really hungry we still had a few bites of Bihar local food Litti,
on the highway as we waited and met up with Devraj another friend and once we
managed to locate him, we convinced him to accompany us to Patna and now we
were 5 as we drove on towards Patna. The Road from Barhai to Bihar Sharif are
still single lane, and traffic a nightmare I pity those who live along the
road, am sure there are fatalities galore for it is so easy for a small child
to venture out on to the road, and is a wonder that so many people still live
there without getting hit every few minutes.
Google Live location feature
had allowed us to be located by Kodarma Rider Sameer Ahmed and now it was once
more helping the BRS guys in Patna to monitor our progress as we made our way
towards Bihar Sharif, the idea was to meet near Biharsharif and then we would
travel into the city together.
