Independence DAY

Come 15^th August and we are all out with the tricolor. and some dressed in Tricolor too

 0700 hours the line up is getting ready to start out, there is excitement in the air as some 50 bikers gear up along with there friends, family members, better half and so on,

 

and finally we are on the way , a short 20 km to our destination for today a School where we plan to celebrate the day with students 

The plan to celebrate with one and all that we can touch lives of not just our immediate family but our biker brothers and sisters too

 

 

  We start out with chats of Bharat Mata Jai.

 

 

Going right into the heartland of Jharkhand where Green is really green and many shades of green, where nature is abundant and butterflies sit around to greet us too.

 

 

We park up , an impressive lineup of bikes in the country side

 

 

 

Where little kids await us to spend a few hours with and to listen to us share our experience travelling around the country on our motorbikes, where we share our experiences and message of safety.

 

The highlight of the day was of course raising the tricolor, and singing the national anthem,

Nature at its best

 

Early morning walk in the grassland looking for birds gave me this lovely beads of rainfall from last night to early morning, each a jewel prepared by nature for the early birds

 

 

 

 

Just like the water drops the birds (tricolored Munia) too were organized on the branch in a group enjoying the rains

Raptors in slow motion

 

 

 

 

 

The magpie robin has caught my attention again today as it fly around me. 32 seconds of poetry in motion I say

 

 

Lyrical all over again I say as the sunrises and the Raptors soared ,,,

 

 

 

Ride in June to spread awareness " SAY NO TO DRUGS"

 

 

 

Why we ride, why a motorcycle, sometimes it is to spread awareness, to tell people you can do it all, and the only drug you need is your Motorcycle,

 

26^th June is Anti drug day (like all other day) and we embarked on a ride to share with the world,” say NO to Drugs” the link to the film -

A day to be remembered( could be name of the story )

 

It was night time there was no one around just the Two ,,, tell me what you think happened ?  ( have I been watching too much OTT content? )

Shantiniketan to Kol, On way back.

 

 

 

 

What a wonderfull start to the day, all the sisters and family hanging out in the balcony having tea together, it is early enough temp still ok  to be outdoor, balcony with broken bench time it is ,,,

 

  after this we will have to scoot indoors and leave by 0930 hours post breakfast, yesterday I did not get my breakfast hopefully today I will have better luck.

 

The breakfast was passable, the sausage was weird as was the baked beans, so a few piece of toast and eggs it was today and mango.

 

 

An hour later we were on our way back to kolkata, the jungle outside the city was interesting and we spend some time there taking in the sight and flying a drone and generally goofing around before we boarded the car and was headed back to Kolkata, 

ETA was t be back by 1500 hours, which meant we would be stopping for lunch en route.

 

 

We crossed a place called Shaktigarh, which is famous for Langcha which is a kind of sweet, made of condensed milk, chana( a style of cheese made from cows or buffalo milk),  and seeing so many shops selling the same sweet we stopped to have a taste,

 

 Langcha is made from chana and milk powder by frying it and dipping it in sugar syrup for long time, it originated in Burdwanwan and we were in Budhwan. The home of Langcha. It was too sweet for me and I could have only One before I called it quits. Neither did it taste as amazing as I was hoping it would...

 

 

Final stop for the day was at Hotel Nobanno, which was very crowded and a huge setup, airconditioned dhaba has never really worked for me, takes away from the ambiance of the dhaba and gives them license to serve crappy food, knowing the people who comes here are passing tourists and dont really matter, they will not be held accountable,  never gonna ask for service to begin with unlike truck drivers who pay well but actually demand service, the food was not very well cooked, the chicken had no salt the fish not very fresh , a place well worth a miss I would say.

Not too long before we reach back with some wonderfull memory of the trip all said and done.

summing up the trip

Shantiniketan- hotel AMOLI homestay/hotel  a commercial enterprise was a disaster as a hotel.

inspite of being super expensive.

 

Shaktigarh- Langcha was not upto the mark.

 

Hotel Nobanno- dhaba on highway, bad food to say the least.

 

What we enjoyed was Jungles, food at small food joints, friends and there hosting skills, time spend among our own self

Stuff that don’t cost the earth and sky was most enjoyable. And relaxing
