It was Saturday but not a regular Saturday morning as I was up to an
unprecedented Bike trip. I say unprecedented because I have not drunk today coz’ I was driving my motor bike.
Camera-check. Food, water-check. Wallet-check, Zippo-check, Laptop-check, Rayban-check, Mobiles-Check. I was ready to go. It set off at 7, stopped by several ATM machines to withdraw some cash, but none were working, Kirtipur, Durbamarg, Newroad, Putalisadak, even Kalimati.I reached one hotel at Zero Kilometer at about 9 am and had my breakfast; puri, tarkari, and tea. I liked those tea cups the most. After reaching Naubise, it was all uphill ride. Then I headed towards Tistung. and I stopped Bike, Lightened my cigarette rest for 13 mins, captured some pictures and got pee out. I was very excited with the glimpse of a mountain and stopped to take pictures of lali gurans. I passed through another area called Palung, “the place to buy Palungo Saag”. A little further, I stopped to capture picture of mountains. From there, it was a downhill ride. At about 11:30 am, I reached saatghumti, I must say it was road of snake shaped. This was the place I was supposed to worry about nothing would gonna be bad. After a long drive of more than three hours, I finally reached Daman. As it was a long travel, I was very hungry and tired of the long travel. I needed to recharge myself. So I had some food;Daal, Bhat,saag tarkari, Achhar,Local chicken’s meat and one bottle beer, “Just one bottle toh banta hai coz I’m so tired ni ta”. I bought one pack Shikhar cigarette to add up to the one that I already had. The shopkeeper told me “drive safely coz yesterday a couple died in bike accident at right 12 pm, So wait till 12:15pm” And I said “Don’t worry Dai-I’m driving alone”. Well, I didn’t really care. At 12:45, I was ready for my Motorcycle Diary !!
