New Member - Veena (Amrendra Kumar)
Hey guys!
Today was a fun day as we had one more addition – Veena Merz. Welcome Veena, it was indeed a nice surprise. Veena is quite a health conscious person and we should all learn from her. Yoga, brisk walking, conscious eating and drinking and now cycling – wow! We all have to learn so much from her.
Today’s trail took us to near Heritage School.
It was nice and a little misty near the Heritage School. The trail was quite nice and took exact one hour to and fro, perfect for a weekday! For those of you who have never been that side, must tell you that near Heritage School there is a very nice Meditation centre, run by some organization (sorry I forget the name! Hemant should remember!). It says meditation centre from outside but inside all that was visible was a football ground, so till the time Hemant came and explained us in detail what there was, I was just wondering how could you meditate while playing football, one would require quite a sportsmanship for doing that! That was just to put things a little lightly, but no doubt the site was wonderful and worth a visit again. All the way to the school all the sites are earmarked by this or that builder, one wonders whether they will see their light of the day but you can see various boards all the way.
Just beyond the school, a few hundred meters away, we could see a temple in the mist, Russ took a photo of the temple too and you can see the sun trying to peep in, to be frank we could not see the sun from our naked eyes, but the camera caught it! The temple actually seemed a private one and was within somebody’s house premises. We saw two school going children offering their prayers, the house very awkwardly huge – must be belonging to some fat old landlord who must have sold his land to those builders! Anyway, after this house starts a village (sorry about the name again!) and just after 100-200 meters you reach a “T” junction and you could see a tea stall with some older children and some younger ones were waiting for their bus nearby. Everybody was staring at us as if they have never seen anything like that. All the younger kids had their eyes glued on our gears. We asked where would these roads take us and we got a multiple response that on the right was Badhsahpur and on the left was another village. But we had to return from this point as some of us had to get back to work early. But we vowed to come back and complete the trail.
Actually today’s trail was initiated by Hemant and Russ and they wanted to take us to trail they had seen a night before. They had seen a serpentine pathway all lit up and culminating into a huge park like area. But in the morning the lights were gone and so were the lampposts so we could not locate it exactly where it was. Though we suspect it to be somewhere in the middle, we will surely find that too. I doubt Hemant and Russ must have witnessed a marriage function with lights lit up all along – Haryana has one of the most lavish marriages in India!
There is only one remark about today, while coming back from Heritage, we encountered a lot of honking traffic which is avoidable. The only way we can avoid it is by going a little early.
Raj+Vikram+Sanjay+Keith+Pankaj => Hemant is organizing a coverage for bike riders group in the Times of India and I want that all of you who had expressed the desired to join, please join now ! The more the merrier is our motto!
With Best regards,
Amrendra
