A bike story
years ago I got my train from Trivandrum to Mumbai. I got my joining letter from a wonderful visual effects studio, Labyrinth. I started working as a junior visual effects compositor. I didn’t have any contacts when I started from Trivandrum, but the people in the studio helped me a lot. over there I made friends, and beautiful people, I believe without their help it would be hard for me to climb the ladder of my career as a visual effects artist. but I do work hard to get over there. yeh now about the bike, after working over there for years I made many friends and some of them became best friends of mine one of them was Parnali Bhere, a great visual effects artist, I was thinking about getting a new bike, and my friends also started to look for me. I was into royal Enfield while I was young,Pranali got that idea she started searching for it and she came up with airborne blue, and now that’s my travel partner
1.how it started
more than a bike Royal Enfield is an emotion. when you sit on it and the wind touches your face, you become alive, and the rest of the things start to fade. I was born in a village when I was a child there were a lot of paddy fields and green over the surroundings. also, there was the sound of the machine while I walked back to my home dhak dhak dhak, the only royal Enfield in the area, Aun Chetten waved at us while he passed us. whenever I heard that sound I knew it was Arun Chettan. I think from there the connection with the bike started,
2.freedom of life
when you get the feeling that days are counted, then you start to live the days. corona pandemic gave me the exact thinking, I went through somuch emotionaltiony during corona time, and saw fathers who lost their children, and mothers who lost their beloved, somuch was happening, I was alone in my house. thinking a lot, I was working in an mnc, and everything was good but something was missing. in that time I figured out I was missing the freedom of life. which was always there i was the person who was unable to see it, I made up my mind when the lockdown was to end.take out my bike and start to live.I didn’t tell anyone or didn’t carry much more.it was a simple step towards life. I started from the tip of the country seeing things being with the people more over living a life I had seen beautiful beaches,delicious food, wonderful people for this all one thing stands over my side every time my blue. It had taken me to the beaches of the south to the Himalayas in the north to the forest to the desert standing with me gazing at the horizon just telling me hi buddy we have to travel more and have a meaning full life tougher.
