Day 1

PATNA TO KATNI

This was the day I had to start my Solo ride from home Patna. I was bit nervous before the ride because this was my First Long Solo Ride that too for her during CORONA Pandemic going ON. I was happy also to meet her for the very first time. Actually it all starts with a Matrimonial sites where we met. During Lockdown me and my parents decided to find a Bride for me. I was actually trying this from long time back but due to many reasons my marriage declined. So in this Lockdown we again decided to take Registration on the Matrimonial site and find a better match. Matches were found during that time but as usual hurdles were also coming. But on Day I saw her profile and read it completely. Then I decided to send her my Match request. Actually her profile "About Section" attracts me lot. And so I couldn't stopped my self to send her my Match request. She accepted and we started talking each other. Time goes and we came close.

It all started with arrange marriage but later on it became Love Marriage.

One bad day, situation was not in our hand and it looks like that we had too separate but I was not ready to leave her anyhow. She is the one I was looking for long time.

So I had decided to meet her once, against my Family. Oh I forgot to tell you, she is from Bhopal.

I started planning and then on 9th September 2020 I started my ride to her. Extremely Hot weather but I was curious to meet her.

Early morning at 5:00AM of 9th Sept.2020, I left home. I was about to reach Mughal Sarai but hunger strikes me in between. So I took a short breakfast break at around 7:15AM at Kalika Dhaba. I ate "Litti with Ghee" given by MOM and some cup of TEA.

After breakfast I started my ride and I reached Mughal Sarai at 8:00 AM but there was huge long vehicular traffic. I was shocked as it seems that situation still not in our hands. But I had decided to go further whatever situation or hindrance comes in my way. I will not stop. I crossed that long Jam which took me 2 hours just for 10km to 15km. The time was around 10:00AM. Then after few kilometers a turn comes, from where my ride to Bhopal begins. I was so happy inside. This was my life's first major decision without discussing anyone except my one friend KAMAL. He only knows about my Solo Ride.

I was riding continuously because that same day I had to reach KATNI anyhow. Distance from Patna to Katni is approx. 700KM, which would take 12hrs to cover as per Google Map. And I was mentally prepared for this. So I continued. I had seen lots of beautiful places around along with some very dangerous stretch. But I was enjoying just because of her. I already booked an OYO room before starting of my RIDE. That was a big relief. I reached Katni at 8:00PM, Checked-In and made a Vlog. After taking little Dinner I slept for very another beautiful day.
