Suddenly I heard the voice over from my mobile,
"take left and continue for 50 kms straight.." I saw
network came and GPS started working, I saw 5
missed call alerts from my wife..
"Where have you reached? did you reach Araku
Valley? I was trying your number since an hour" she
banged me with these questions when I called her, I
said soon I will be reaching and there was a patch of
no network area, so sorry about that, she
disconnected saying "call me when you reach araku
Valley"
I was feeling so relaxed when I heard my wife's voice,
and I felt that thank God I am alive.
But with my bad, there wasn't any puncture guy at the
petrol pump, I asked the guy he said, you will get one
10 kms from here but you have to hurry up, shop
closes by 6:30 pm. I had to check up my tyres
because I wasn't confident about it.
Somehow, I reached at a T - junction where I saw a
puncture shop and who was about to shut the shop, I
requested him to check my tyre and make a puncture
if any.
With the weird facial expression as if I was asking too
much from him, but he checked my tyres, he said
there isn't any punctures I feel but I am filling some
extra air, so it might help you in the way.
It was around 5:30 pm and I speed up shaurya with
some confidence, I could have passed more 20 kms
only and Shaurya started shaking again, I thought
shaurya is loosing air from tyre, must be because of
puncture but when I saw the tyres, there were no
punctures, but still I had to check up and started
looking here and there for any puncture shop but filed
to get one. "By the way where you are heading? he asked.
"Araku Valley" I replied.
I reduced my speed to 60 km/h and must have rode
another 10 kms and I saw a petrol pump, such a relief
that was. I have heard about Lammba Singhi a lot, so I made
up my mind, and thought to go Lammba Singi, will
spend night there and, tomorrow will continue for
Araku Valley.
I was in the loo, released my anxiety, filled up petrol
He said, "left from here 180 kms you will reach Araku
Vally but, Its getting dark and road is not good"
I saw the sign board at that junction, Araku Valley is
left 180 kms and Lammba Singi is Right 10 kms.
