Next day I unboarded my bike from Guwahati railway
station after completing some formalities.
Me and my rider friends of Rhino Riders headed for the
North East Riders Meet (NERM) from there.
I landed at Guwahati where I was welcomed by
Mr. Krishnajana Chanda - Principal of South Point
School in Guwahati and also a rider, heads the
club called "Rhino Riders" (RE Club).
After freshening up, we headed for the event
which was organised by Mr. Chanda in his school
"Salute to Soldiers." Which was incredible and by
looking at the enthusiasm and respect towards
our soldiers from the students of that school, I felt
chocked throat out of emotions.
Spending quality time at that school and with my
rider friends of Rhino Riders, I went to rest for that
day.
"This is the best thing about riders community that
all of us share a brotherhood feelings for each
other, we don't see caste, religions & from where
one belongs to, as far as he / she a rider, the
community is always there for him / her."
I thank God for giving me this second life after my
retirement from the Indian Army.
Riding motorcycle with passion gives you so many
things which you can't image to get in normal life.
First you get to travel and see many places,
different cultures, different foods and above all you
make many friends which is certainly a best thing
about riding.
Riding is an addiction, once you get that addiction,
I bet you won't be able to leave. It gives you detox
from your daily toxic schedule of work and life.
Best thing about riding is that it gives you wings &
freedom to fly wherever you want, it's a complete sense
of freedom and meditation. Riding unites you with
other riders no matter which bike they ride as long as
they are passionate, you connect. And moreover, it's an
opportunity to dig inside you because when you ride
and your helmet is ON, your inner-voice starts talking to
you. So as per my feeling I dig and talk a lot to my
inner-voice but I can't say about others, it's very
subjective but I am pretty sure that may be in some
point of time every rider does this.
What is NERM?
It's an annual event which is organized by riding clubs
of North East states of India. It was meant for riders of
North East when it was started few years back but as
the popularity gown many riders from rest of the
countries started visiting this event and now it has
become one of the reputed event for riders in India.
On about 500 to 700 riders attends NERM every years
which lasts for three days with many activities in it. The
major clubs who organizes NERM are.

ROYAL ENFIELD RIDERS ASSOCIATION OF
MEGHALAYA (RERAM)
NAGALAND MOTORCYCLE CLUB
ROYAL RIDERS MANIPUR

RHINO RIDERS - ASAAM
Tripura have not held this event yet but I hope soon
they will also organize it in coming years.
This time it is being held by AIZAWL THUNDERS in
Mizoram in November 2019.
I personally love this event amongst all the events in
India because of the place and the natural beauties in
there. I have spent many years in North East serving to
the country while in Indian Army, so I have that
attachment too with North East.
