With all the twist and turns of the Machli Ghat.. in
nearly 20 minutes I crossed over.. I saw one police
patrol van which was parked at the pull over side.. And
I realized I am safe now.. But I did not stop.. with the
breath of relaxation.. I was riding at the speed of
100km/h.. I thought to call Neha.. to tell her my
whereabouts..
"Are You Okay? Have you crossed
over?"
"I am punjabi girl.. I don't fear no-one..I
replied.." we both laughed..
While talking I saw the Indore board sign mentioning
130 kms..
"She said, come safely.." and
disconnected the call.
I could have crossed 4 to 5 kms from that board and
my big guy started jerking.. and before I could
understand anything.. He stopped..
I didn't know what went wrong.. But I tried to self-start
it.. I couldn't.. then tried to kick-start it.. I couldn't..
I thank God.. this breakdown didn't happened at machli
ghat and I kissed my big guy.. Thank you for saving
me..
With my basic mechanical knowledge, I tried to find out
the problem.. I checked everything and I found out
problem in battery.. There was one wire which got
shot.. So without any tools, I fixed it temporarily..
And I started my bike.. It was a temporary solution, I
knew I had to fix it properly, so I asked someone for
mechanic garage.. He said there is one garage at the
petrol pump 5 km away from here.. Slowly slowly I
reached that petrol pump and fixed my big guy's
battery properly.. Had a chai.. near to that petrol pump
and continued my journey..
All is well, when it ends well..
I reached Indore, I could see the city traffic around me,
I had set Neha's home location in maps.. and finally I
reached Neha's place..
Neha Sonvelkar.. My riding friend.. I am meeting her
after almost one year.. We did ride together from
Jammu & Kashmir to Anand (Gujarat) for a Amul Ride.
We hugged each other.. and It was 3:30 pm...
