The 575 KTM stretch

It was 6:30 Am on 11-03-2012 and Sathya knocked at my door. 7 Am we were having breakfast. 7:30 Am we were off to a 150 Km Journey.  A Journey to Experience MR.Sathya’s KTM.  It was a breezy Sunday morning and the weather was good. Took couple of water bottles, sunglass, T shirts and we were off.

The morning weather in Hyderabad was perfect and the Journey was getting better and better as we hit the highway there were less people on the Road and less chirping sounds of the birds up in the air.

There are few things which cannot be captured by camera neither by the video lens it can only be captured by the innermost emotions of your mind. I can imagine what Mr.KTM (read Sathya) would have felt.

Made our first pit stop in some *$*&T&$R&$ Place for a cup of tea. Then we hit the Road again constantly hitting 80- 85 Km/h as the bike should not go beyond the limit as the first service has to be done. Talking about the Bike the design is a perfect mix of comfort and style. Compared to other bikes the pillion ride is better on this one.
After about 45 minutes of so I felt a little uncomfortable sitting behind as it’s not a Touring bike but an on and off road bike. The weather was good for a longer period of time than expected. I could see people turning their heads to look at ME or THE KTM I am not sure though J both were looking hot.

Then the destination Dindi came and I have to say it was beautiful out of nowhere and the Dindi reservoir which I came to know about it later was nice. Then Mr.KTm said why don’t we go to srisailam another 100 Kms and we decided Oh Yes we will. We clicked few pictures which will become legendary later and we hit the roads again whistling past fellow riders and auto rickshaws.

So MR.KTM was riding the bike and I was just a mere pillion rider MR.KTM was super excited and he went past wider and thinner roads reaching a point finally MR.KTM decided it was the wrong road and we took a U turn and came back 40 kms, Yeah That is how far we went. So it was 80 + Kms wasted and then the sun took a hit on us. It was getting hotter and was difficult for both of us. He was feeling a bit tough to sit and I was having a very hard time to sit as a pillion rider.

After a few more pit stops to have water we hit the foot hills of srisailam and then we went up the hills only to realize the petrol bunk was closed owing to the fact there is No stock and in front of  the petrol station a guy was selling Petrol in a huge can what an irony Sirjiiii!!!!!
We rode and rode then we had lunch which was out of the world. Had a mouth watering authentic Andhra chicken curry and meals with its own spice and then we reached srisailam. Added to the misery the only petrol station was out of petrol. We hoped we will get the same illegal petrol while going back and Yes we got it A liter 90 Rupees

As soon as we reached we headed back because all we need was a ride. No wrong routes and thinner roads this time. One stretch we reached our favorite spot “The Truffles” Had dinner With Mr.KTM opting for Chargrilled chicken and I had chicken stroganoff. Ride back home was clean but was dead tired.

One thing I have to say my arse has not burnt like that in my entire life. 575 Kms was a tough one. Nevertheless it was a wonderful ride while exploring some amazing places.

Friends and stupid Friends

I finally decided there are two kinds of friends one is a Friend and the other one is a stupid friend. I would like to talk about the later today. 

When you think about friends you will feel nostalgic. It reminds you of school days. It reminds you of college days. It reminds you of the times where you were stupid enough to do crazy things. On the other hand there will be friends who are materialistic. 

When I say materialistic which means they stick you because they might get attention, they stick to you no matter what the situation is provided you are Rich, they stick to you because you have a car, they stick to you so they can party hard.

Remember your friend coming to you and saying lets go away for this weekend and at the same time when a situation comes and you want someone to share your innermost feelings the same friend is nowhere to be seen just because he does not want to listen to your sob story.

Remember that friend when you and he were caught together back in college and you were the one who made it to the principal’s office he was nowhere to be seen to given justification to your act just because he will also be caught and suspended.

Remember those days when you desperately needed money the same friend gave you some lame excuses so that he does not have to give you money.

Remember those times when you want your friend to come along with you just because you wanted him to be with you so you will feel secure and he was nowhere to be seen.

I am talking about those friends here. They do not even earn a place in your life. Those days when you heard everything from them, you heard their sad stories, you heard their breakups and when you wanted them they just do not want to be around. Why???

I do not know… They are the people who not even stand a chance to be your friend. They do not deserve to be your friend. I think it is time for you guys to throw away from your life. I know friendship does not expect anything which does not mean they can use you like public toilet whey they are in dire need to get out the garbage. It does not mean they can take them whenever they want and do not want to give their shoulder.

I respect my friends. In fact to be honest the way I am today it is because of my friend’s maybe that is why people take advantage of me I have been used by many I have not cared about it because I never expected anything from them but then comes a situation where you do not have any place to go and you tell it to your friend then the people who you call FRIENDS will help you. The people whom you call STUPID FRIENDS will not help you. You have not experienced it well give it a shot if I am wrong come shoot me in my eyes.

I still remember the day when I was short of paying my fees to enter my Engineering my friend took the Gold ring from his cousin and gave it to me No questions asked the same friend remains a FRIEND till date. I owe him big time even today.  

Choose your friends wisely. You will have millions of friends to have fun, to party, to smoke, to drink, to share things but when it comes a point where you are in a situation where you cannot tell anything to anybody, where you find a point where you do not have a place to go and ask for help that is when you will find the true colour of a Friend it might sound stereotyped but it’s a fact.

I am happy and content this day and I can proudly say I have few Good friends of mine and the others are merely stupid friends.

Having said that friends whom i care about means a lot to me and even now STUPID FRIENDS use me.....
