6*Guys + 3*150 CC Bikes = 795 Kms in 50 Hrs.....
This equation gives a basic idea of what this road trip was like but
there's more to it than what meets the eye..
After a hiatus of more than an year I took the road on my CBZ for
my 2nd bike trip ever and 1st one on the hills..After a tiring day at
office and numerous attempts of convincing Mom about the safety
aspects of the trip I joined other gang members at the starting point.
Starting Point: Madhuban Chowk(Rohini, Delhi) 25th May,9 PM
All of us gathered here and began our longest bike trip ever...
The biking skills varied from someone who had driven to about 600kms
on a previous trip to someone who had barely managed to complete
100kms(including trips to petrol pumps) on bike.
By the time we were getting petrol tanks filled and tire's checked
for hawa it started to drizzle, Could there be a more ominous start ?,
I don't think so....
It was decided that Sukhdev Dhaba,Murthal would be 1st stoppage....
As soon as I parked my bike someone came to me and told that
there was some leakage from my bike..On closer inspection
it turned out that there was a leak in the fuel tank
( Did I tell you that I had got my bike serviced that very morning ?).
Before this strange phenomenan could sink in a fellow Sardarji nonchalantly
said "Ispe M-Seal laga dete hain".The next minute saw three
of us emptying the fuel tank in mineral water bottles(of all shapes n sizes),
two on a hunt for MSeal and one keeping an eye on our stuff.
After an exhausting half n hour the tank was emptied, MSeal carefully
put on the tank and dinner finished [followed by burps
smelling of petrol(that went while sucking fuel from tank)] Luckily
it did work and all of us were set to resume the attack and
then OH FUCK..
It so happened that I put the Lid of fuel tank ulta(opposite way)
and bang the bike keys went inside the tank..so here were we
out of the frying pan and into fire..Another set of Numerous
attempts with Spoons,Forks, Magnets, Steel Wires and Seekh
(Used to roast paneer and chicken) followed but all without avail..
Finally a guard offered his bike keys to see it can be of help and
bingo that did the trick of unlocking my bike..We were now slightly
better placed, atleast the bike could be started..Without wasting
much time we departed from there and drove with lid of tank carefully
placed so that it doesnt fall and doesnt get locked either...Next
stoppage was also dramatic, this time also it was me, the Clutch wire
had gone loose....Luckily found an auto mechanic who fixed it, got the
tank filled again, closed the tank's lid firmly and set off.....
Reached Paonta Sahib at 6:30 Am, slept for 2 hours, had bath at
banks of Yamuna, had Langar at a near by Gurdwara and left for
Chakrata. Reached Chakrata at around 5 and stayed overnight at a
dormatory..Cracked Jokes and laughed like crazy..Without a doubt
it was the funniest trip i had ever been on, Yes funniest as we laughed
like crazies(can't forget that ASS Buster series of jokes and
lighting of agarbatties to get rid of stench in the Loo).
Early Sunday Morning left for Tiger Falls, the ride was RAW,
I still remember a friend saying
"road tutti hui hai or beech beech mein road hai mein farak hota hai"
Drove for about 17 kms at speeds of 30-40 and trust me I
was scarred half the time. Driving a bike on hills is an unparalleled
experience unlike driving/travelling in a car as on a bike you get to feel the
heights more.Trekked another KM to reach falls..and the falls were
quite worth it to say the least...
A cave just adjacent to the falls(perhaps a tiger used to live there and that's
how the fall got its name)
Best part was a rainbow that was formed in the falls .
We were overwhelmed on seeing such a high/beautiful waterfall,
no doubt its one of the highest in India..
Bathed, Swam and had breakfast in falls and left for Chakrata
around 10:45 AM..
Reached Chakrata on Time(there are timings for entry and exit) and
then immediately left for Delhi..Stopped at a restaurant in Dehradun for
lunch,drove back till Jain Shikangi(Modinagar) with three-four
10-15 minutes breaks and managed to reach home by 00:15 AM
Trivia:
1) Total Expense per person Rs 1050\-
2) 3 people got bruised (including me)
3) Everyone is still finding it hard to sit(given those long hour drives on hard bike seats)
4) Road Stretches worth driving
a) Last stretch of road leading to Dehradun
b) 2nd half of Kalsi-Chakrata road
c) Chakrata - Tiger Falls
d) Last stretch of road leading to Paonta Sahib
5) Saw a passionate married sardar couple on way back(to kalsi) that
had parked their car in the middle of road and were french kissing
away to glory outside it.
6) Commonsense is the most uncommon thing in the world.
I doubt whether everyone will get it in the first go....
7) A pair of my bike keys is still in my fuel tank

Sex and the City Quotes
For all those who've loved Sex and the City Aka SATC here are some of it's most
Famous/Memorable/Funniest/Raunchiest quotes....
Adam: Come on, give me a little BJ, up and down a couple times, you're done, it's easy!
Samantha: Easy? You men have no idea what we're dealing with down there. Teeth placement, and jaw stress, and suction, and gag reflex, and all the while bobbing up and down, moaning and trying to breathe through our noses. Easy? Honey, they don't call it a job for nothin'!
Carrie: Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they're supposed to run wild until they find someone -- just as wild -- to run with
Carrie: Have you?
Mr. Big: Have I what?
Carrie: Ever been in love.
Mr Big: Absofuckinglutely
Carrie: A fuck buddy is a guy you probably dated once or twice and it didn't really go anywhere, but the sex is so great you sort of... keep him on call.
Samantha: Ooo, he's like dial-a-dick!
Charlotte (to Samantha): Is your vagina in the New York City guidebooks?
Because it should be - it's the hottest spot in town - it's always open.
Nurse: Do you swallow?
Samantha: Only when surprised
Samantha: I've lost my orgasm.
Carrie: In the cab?
Charlotte: What do you mean, 'lost'?
Samantha: I just spent the last two hours fucking with no finale.
Carrie: It happens. Sometimes you just can't get there.
Samantha: I can always get there.
Charlotte: Every time you have sex?
Carrie: She's exaggerating. Please say you're exaggerating.
Samantha: Well, I'll admit I have had to polish myself off once or twice, but yes! When I RSVP to a party, I make it my business to come.
Samantha: I'm so sick of these people with their children. I'm telling you, they're everywhere! Sitting next to me in first class, eating at the next table at John Schu— [A child runs by.] Look at that. This place is for double cappuccinos, NOT double strollers. [Glances at Miranda.] I'm sorry.
Miranda: Hey, no need to apologize. I wouldn't bring Brady here. Mommy needs two hands to eat her eight-dollar cake!
Charlotte: You're not going to defend children?
Miranda: No, I don't like any children but my own.
Carrie: How did this happen? How did they get the message that the ass is now on the menu?
Miranda: I bet there's one loud-mouthed guy who found some woman who loved it and told everyone 'women LOVE this!'
Carrie: Who is this guy?
Miranda: Who's the woman who loved it?
Samantha: Don't knock it 'till you've tried it!
Carrie: Bingo!
Charlotte: We're having Trey's sperm tested.
Miranda: Is it not doing well in school?
Carrie: Why do we let the one thing we don't have affect how we feel about all the things we do have? Why does one-minus-a-plus-one feel like it adds up to zero?
Carrie: Your vagina's depressed?
Charlotte: The mood elevator sort of corrects the imbalance.
Miranda: Wait a minute, how do you know your vagina's depressed?
Charlotte: There are symptoms!
Carrie: Like what, it can't meet its deadline?
Miranda: It always wants to go to Krispy Kreme?
Samantha: Is he that bad in bed?
Miranda: No. He's just... he's a guy. He can rebuild a jet engine but when it comes to a woman... What's the big mystery? It's my clitoris, not the Sphinx.
Mr. Big: After a while, you just want to be with the one that makes you laugh.
Samantha: The only place you can control a man is in bed. If we perpetually gave men blow jobs we could run the world!
Carrie: And at least our hands would be free to greet dignitaries and stuff.
Carrie: Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe you have to let go of who you were, to become who you will be.
Samantha: I will not be judged by you or society. I will wear whatever—and blow whomever—I want as long as I can breathe and kneel!
Carrie: When men attempt bold gestures, generally it's considered romantic. When women do it, it's often considered desperate or psychotic.
Miranda: I'm sorry, Steve, I'm an asshole.
Steve: Yeah you are. But you're my asshole.
Miranda: That's sweet. And gross, at the same time.
Samantha: Well, let's just say it: you won.
Carrie: Was there a contest?
Samantha: Oh please! There's always a contest with an ex. It's called "who will die miserable."
Carrie: New York City is all about sex. People getting it, people trying to get it, people who can't get it. No wonder the city never sleeps. It's too busy trying to get laid.
Charlotte: Did you know I read that if you don't have sex for a year, you can actually become re-virginized?
Carrie: And, I would imagine, quite frisky.
It takes half the amount of time you dated someone to get over them.....
