THE MAIN PLAN
The winter had freezed the body early in the evening, to get
something hot and spicy to eat came on the list. The chicken roll and the local Chinese were always the options. Then the idea of having Maggi at local thelas
in Lonavala which are open all night came in mind. Completing some important
work stuff we started our journey; technically a new day had just started. In
few minutes we were on NH4 riding towards Lonavala. The highway being fully
occupied during the day time was bit mild and calm with cold breeze and wind
shivering the body. Sometimes overtaking the vehicles and sometimes driving
slowly with music playing in the background and enjoying the ride we were in
Lonavala.

And the wait was finally over. The hot and spicy Maggi
noodles were served with some tea and biscuits.

And that was what the ride was
meant for, satisfying the inner soul with what it wanted.
THE EXTENDED PLAN
But now it was time to for a little adventure, to drive along
the curves and reach Lions Point. To the small adventure ride the atmosphere
increased the difficulty level with some fog.
The density of fog kept on
increasing with the rise in our latitude. And it was like driving in a zero
visibility zone.

The road uphill needs many gear shift which is the ultimate
passion of a rider apart from speeding.
The fog had also disturbed the scenic
view from the top. But some corn bhaji from the food stalls and the bonfire
made the night.

The point well known for loud music, people dancing crazily, people drinking and smoking all over and enjoying the weekend was calm for today's night. And it feels something when some unusual things happens. When the things happens exactly in the opposite way as you expected them.
The real joy of life
was here, the place between nowhere and somewhere. When most of the world was down with their
sleep I was busy observing how the natural cold wind and the heat of the bonfire
was keeping me warm. The same thing happens with all of us in this God gifted
world we keep ourselves busy in finding happiness in the material things. With
the silence in the atmosphere I was lost in my thoughts; planning and getting
prepared for the life to come. Then finally it was time to get back in the so
called our world.
The journey made up for the day. I was happy to get some peace and time for self, the Maggi, the road uphill and
the Journey itself.
