yesterdayi was chatting with one of my classmates and from out of the blue our topic landed on bicycles...then the whole conversation turned to the weird stuffs we used to do on our cycles as kids...the time when BMX was launched and Hero had a good sale with BSA champ...that was the time when i was able to identify the different kinds of cycle on the basis of its horn or brake sound.i used to have a BSA Kidd which was blue in colour and with pictures of bret hart on it..the day i first rode it my brake was neighbour's wall.
all those childish stuffs we discussed were so much alike...even if we belong to different parts of the country...going on long distance rides on the bike and giving parents a shock(my dad was going to register a case once)...going for exploration with friends on cycle...racing against rain but still getting wet(esp the rain in summer...wow)
then the thing we had in common was our bikes without brakes..i have no count of the number of times i have fallen from my bike.
summer vacations was the best with all the kids in the area on bikes that no other vehicle could pass by.i still remember there was a gang of four who had street cats(bmw among cycles).never knew them personally but then i used to admire that bike a lot.
when we discussed all these we were in a very nostalgic mood of us missing homeland a lot...he was missin his mountains(he is from north-east)and i was missing my greenary.then the juniors came and broke our conversation and we went back to our usual life of computers and research.
