Me and Vehicles


I feel there has always been connection between me and a passion to ride different vehicles. Most of us start our first learning session to ride by starting to ride a bicycle but I certainly am not one of them. My first vehicle that I started or hopped on to was a Bajaj Chetak. Amidst all my passions, one of my passions is to be able to ride and drive all kinds of vehicles. I love riding I have no idea why? May it is something that I have in my genes.

Even to date I remember my first riding session with my Father. He is and always will be my mentor in teaching things. Let be it a bike riding or teaching different ways of handling things and situations in life. My first riding session was full of injuries on my hand, leg and where not as many of us would have. I started to learn riding a Chetak even before I would or could know what riding a vehicle means. But that is one experience that kind of gave a boost to my passion.

To my wonder I learnt to ride it within three days and then I picked up cycling which is the other way round in most of the friend’s and cousin’s cases. I used to find the cycle so light that I would rather carry it by hand all the way to school than hopping on too it and riding my way to school. I used to find it so light and a waste as in why would someone ride a bicycle when they know to ride a two wheeler. You can call it arrogance or anything but that was a very big fact to me.

Chetak and I have been friends since then on and I have ridden my ways on it all the days from school to my college days. I started riding a Bullet once I entered Engg college and I would like the way people would stare at me wondering that the days have come when woman are going to ride such heavy vehicles all the way to their destinations in an everyday life.

I have ridden many different bikes then on but the vehicles that would actually give me a kind of mental pleasure is riding an Enfield. My passion is to be able to fly a copter and be able to touch the clouds all through the journey and feel the wind at a high altitude on my face.

My passion to ride and drive has not yet stopped the more and more bikes coming in on an everyday basis in the market drives me crazier to ride them all. A boon to my passion is my Father being a business man who owns a Goods transport Company which is named after me adding up to it all. This being the fact I have been able to drive trucks, lories, tempos and what not. Thanks to my Father who has always encouraged me to do whatever I want to and be able to get away with all the damages I have done to all the vehicles I have ridden till now.

I learnt to drive a Maruti van and then I drove a Lorry which I banged against the go down wall. My dream is to be a racer someday and I wish to continue my quest towards it. That’s the relationship between me and Vehicles.
