Day 1

After 10 months in Goa it was finally time for me to move again that is to start riding again. This time I was not prepared,I woke up at 4 in the morning and couldn't get back to sleep again. I was just blank and thinking about nothing. I never had much to carry even before, I left home one year ago with just one bag so it was very easy. Saying goodbyes was never my thing so I just loaded the bag onto my bike and started riding without a look backward.

Too many emotions, experiences and stories were the only ones I take away with me on this journey.

But where am I headed towards? That was a thought that scared me . I had not decided that yet but still I started riding.

Within a hours time I had crossed the Goa border and entered into Maharashtra but still I had not decided on my next destination.

I took a break and looked around I was in the middle of some forest. I sat down on the side of the road and was trying to think fast but being the person I am my brain went into blankness again.

I was sitting in that place for more than fifteen minutes and I hadn't come up with a destination. I got up kick started the bike and kept riding and I decided to stop at whichever place the sun goes down.

Day 2

I rode for 260 KMS crossing state borders and ended up at a small town named Bagalkot somewhere in Karnataka at 5 in the evening. I took up stay at a small lodge and spent the night there still not sure where I am headed towards the following morning.

The route was so good that I got the opportunity to see rivers, lands and lakes go past me in fast motion.

Day 3

Next morning I woke up had a swift breakfast and got onto the roadz again. Now the idea that i have to get to the east coast of India was somehow etched on the back of my head. So I kept riding through the day with the same thought as before that I stop my ride when the sun goes down and I ended up in a town named Yadgiri. My stay was pleasant at a local lodge with low cost food and a comfortable bed.

Day 4

From Yadgiri I had to cover another 200 KMS to get to the hitech city of Hyderabad. This was an easy task for me and also I had friends there who m I met during the last one year. All I had to do was to get there and I have the people to show brotherly love and care.
