"Goa"
"Then whats up with the cycle!!!???"
"Putting it over the bus"
"Then why are you tying your backpack to the carriage"
"oh......am cycling up to the bus stand"
No more questions from him....

I escaped!
Ok...the cycle was ready to go BUT......my totally unprofessional way of ladening my stuff on the cycle gave it a really fussy look!! It was like a dumbass Ice-Cream/Biscuits vendor on cycle. Am quite allergic to ppl's attention, specially form my hometown and me on such a loaded cycle was certainly going to attract a lot of attention/talk/questions/amazement whatnot ... so asked Pankya ... the guy up here, my cousin, and a very good friend, to ride my cycle out of the town while I took his motorbike. We exchanged our bikes a couple of KMs away in the outskirts. But thankfully before he left me alone with my cycle I realized I am not carrying the tent rods :-O. Whoa!!! So had to wait till he got the rods, wondering how many things I will forget/lose in the coming days on this trip! :)

oh...the "Television"? So, such a laden cycle with that funny look, invariably made people think am carrying a Television on the carriage and not any normal bag. The moment Pankya touched the road just outside my house ppl started asking if he will be able to take the "Television" in one piece to wherever he was going. And this "Television", started in Hatakanagale, went right till Goa where and when I finally got fed up with this asking and took off the cover to let ppl see that I am carrying a backpack and a carry mat and not a stupid "Television". However, this notion was kinda entertaining and amused me a little so thot of giving this title to my trip.
My "Television" trip!
My "Television" trip!
Putting up some good rubbish in different posts...day-wise...as and when I get time. Hope you guys enjoy and feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel the up/down slopes, the sweat, the thirst, the pain in the ass, the pain in the back, listen to my panting, experience the loneliness on a remote road on a hot but pleasant day, the dislike of touristic places and those arrogant senseless tourists, the beautiful moments with complete strangers, the lazy mornings............and of course......get drenched in a lot ... a lot of fun
Cheers!
