The Blind Ride

Last night my friends(I am using friends & not colleagues) planned to go for an unplanned trip. Yesterday evening we were just talking outside office with a cup of tea in our hands & thought that some trip especially a night trip will be good to re-invent the mojo of friendship. Going to any place in the morning is not possible with Mr. Sun spitting fiery rays 😀 and the traffic also 😉

So, it was decided that yesterday night itself, we will leave to a near by Marine Drive and return back today morning and the total journey would be near about 180 km.

We were total 8 friends in 4 bikes, ready to embark a journey which we didn’t even comprehend in our minds that it was gonna be one of the most memorable & perfect trip for us.

It started normally with dinner at a hotel. At beginning, all bikes were scattered some going far ahead & some going at their economy speed. Then we stopped at a gas station and got the tank full.

From there onwards the magical night started. The road ahead was even with less or no traffic. It was not at all about destination for us, but the trip. We just wanted to have a great quality time and we did get that for sure.

We reached the Beach & oh boy WHAT A VIEW IT WAS!! Best view !! The waves striking the shore and the splashing sound. It was as if Angels are whispering their plans of our future to us. It was Heaven on Earth 🙂 Never have I felt such profound peace…

And I saw someone run past me shouting at the top of his voice with his shirt in his hand waving in the air 😀 That was a great scene indeed 😉 He was my friend & my partner for the ride of the trip. He was so excited that he literally ran towards the water and he was all pumped up. All others were also in high energy and we all started the sprint to reach the water. There was no one in the beach. Basically speaking we were the OWNERS of the beach 😛

Reached the waters, panting for air and all on our knees & laughing seeing the tired faces of one another. Then I shouldn’t mention this here, but we ran the whole length of the beach in the minimum clothes on us. I wont exxagerate.
Till this moment we thought that we have had all the fun of the night. But, nah-huh.

We went more ahead & this time without lighting the headlights of our bikes. All bikes going parallely in the middle of the night, dead silence, nothing visible also because it was all cloudy. Nothing visible. Just in every 3-5 seconds, one of the riders was switching on the headlight for a fraction of second to make sure, nothing dreadful was ahead.

The main fun was what we always saw when one of the rider switched the headlights for that fraction of seconds. We saw disco lights glare up for that duration when headlight was on it. It were the direction markers and road dividers with neon coatings giving us the feel of a disco. Wow!! The scene was excellent. It felt we are in a game, riding & could light up the environment at will. We were riding blind bitches is what we kept on shouting at the top of our voices.

The ride was blind all thanks to the clouds that kept on hiding the Moon behind it & its light from the Earth. It rained then. We got wet & kept on riding at a controlled speed. But had to eventually stop. There we talked & gossiped & listened to music. Rain kept on pouring hard & we were having the best moments of our life.

Moon almost behind the cloud

We went ahead more 30 km to another beach & had tea there. Went to a temple & then returned back. It was all morning,  Mr. Sun warming for spitting 😀 and the Moon was still there in the sky.

Moon still in the sky in the morning

Slept for a little time. Back to office because its Friday 😦

You must be thinking We could had gone on friday night only but some of my friends had other plans.
It was a great night. All close to the heart & cherished.
The peace, the silence, the calmness, the live-in-the-moment, the breeze, the life, the love all was there in the heart of ours.

Hope, we all get that kind of feeling once in a while.
And, if possible don’t try the Blind Ride as its dangerous also if some vehicle/animal comes all of a sudden. We ourselves faced it, but in our case it was next to nothing.

Night is nigh, wish sleep was here 😀

Cheers to Weekend & Cheers to Life, Dear Friends !!
