After a warm hospitality it was not easy for me to say goodbye to my family in Manmad but I have to sooo I just moved on.. changed the Oil of my bike since it is required to be changed after every 3000km and then following were my stops which I was visualising -
Manmad -> Aurangabad -> Jalna -> Manmad (a night stay there) -> Kallamb
First spot I saw was - Thumbs-up hill :P Yes it is called like that among the locals .. :)
Big whole-sale market of Onionssss - pretty impressive to see how it came in Lorries to these market and then they are packaged in Silos and finally sold and distributed across everywhere.. :)
Herd of Sheeps jamming the street and they were countless.. :)
Endelig (Finally) I reached Aurangabad and got my Enfield Serviced and had company of my cousin and his friends.. :)
Then I reached Jalna, where my Aunt was waiting for me and has prepared CHEESE Sandwich .. wow! I liked it alotttt... :)
And then I reached Ambad and spent night there at my another family home.. welllll we in India have big families and we have people almost everywhere - atleast I have it something like that.. :) So I spent my night there with them and then left early morning to see my Mom and family :)
Famous temple among the locals and they wanted me to visit so I did.. :)
The below sign means - Work in Progress - Please drive Slowly... Trust me - it was just a waste of sign-board..
A beautiful natural Entrance :)
School boys playing Kho Kho - popular game among the kids and much more in rurals :)
And I was just 20 meters away from my Uncle's home and I was just Shocked Surprised and Glad to see GRAND celebration for my visit .. they called all my relatives there at same place, they called for band of music, and as per Hindu traditions they gave me blessings and took my Aarti :) Oh I was just stunned.. :)
My cousins and nephews.. :)
And my adorable Mom :)
My entire went by meeting relatives, talking to their friends and answering couple of common questions -
1. Why I am doing this?
2. When will it all end?
3. Whats next?
4. Are you Stupid?
I actually don't know clearly about any question so I said clearly to all of them that - I don't know :) :)
Whatever I really was happy and next day I chose to leave and go to Pune.. :)
There I was at my friend Neeti and Vivek's place and they also invited Gopal a very interesting man - we had good food, drinks and lots and lots of gossip.. and again above 4 questions... :)
It was really nice and the journey to Pune was also memorable since I take many stops and keep on watching things amusing me.. :)
Street hawkers waiting for vehicles to come Toll Place and as it stops for a min - that is the time they use in selling fruits and other stuff.. :)
And I really dont like coming to cities unless I really choose to make up my self.. Unlimited traffic, Honking all around and worst is - Smoke you smell in your every breathe..
So that night I stayed at my friend's place and next day I destined to go to Mumbai - main focus was just to meet my buddies from Norway to keep my promise and see them responding to CHANGE.. :)
Still the bike is spotless, and you meet Family and friends all the time. Looking forward to Meeting up With you in Bangalore soon :-)
