BIKERS CLUB | MAGAZINE
As a medical person, I am well aware about the
medicines for chota mota pain or health issues and I
always carry one first aid kit with some needed
medicines. So I took one and for a moment I
detached myself from the group to do some
stretching with the help of Naren.. He gave me some
massage on my neck.
Kya hua sirji... Gale mai pain hai kyaaa... A sudden
voice came from behind, we looked there, he was a
chowkidar of that dhaba.
Sirji... Mujhe try karne do... konsa bhi dard ho.. mai
1 minute mai thik kar sakta hu...
Looking at his confidence I thought to let him give it a
try. I don't know what he did.. but he told me to
loosen up my neck, he then moved my neck round
and left and right and with pressing one vein he
swiftly turned my neck to right and then left with
some jerk, I could hear the sound of nitrogen bubbles
cracking between my neck bones, and just within a
second I felt relief.. My neck pain reduced to 1%.
I thanked him and said... Kya baat hai bhai-saahab...
tumne toh chamtkaar hee kar diya..
Now, I call this is an experience. In India we live in
a Jhugaad. Don't misunderstand me with the word
Jhugaad, in-fact this term is a biggest discovery of
India. None of the developed country could
manage to find What jhugaad is ? Jhugaad is not
easy to discover, it comes to you only with lot of
experience... Only an Indian would understand
this.
We Indians have some or the other Jhugaad in our
lives and believe me many of the times it works
better than any of the western world technology &
research.
We thought it would be a quick pit stop but it
stretched up to almost 2 hours and then we resumed
our ride at about 10:30 am. As usual in the pattern -
I was at the tail with Saket and this time Naren was
leading the group. A leader should have the quality to
be calm & compose to lead on a such a long ride so
Sometimes it was Naren and sometimes Praveen,
there were some patches where other riders too have
lead us. but as for me I always prefer tail to make sure
everyone rides well and because of the respect, all
UNIDOS knows ki dada peeche hai, so baraabar
chalana hoga..
Woh kya hota hai naa.. in a group rides, aage waale
barabar ride karte hote hai.. par peeche waale apni
hee masti mai hote hai.. so according to me Leader is
very important but tail rider is also equivalent and
because of him only group rides in a discipline. Waise
leader and tail.. ek sikke ki do baaju hai. And I always
prefer Saket with me during my rides in tail.. because
his and my riding coordination and style is pretty much
in-sync and we do gel and understand each-others
signs. So I make sure he rides with me in tail section.
As Sun started transiting and hours and kilometers
started to pass by but we were hell constant and
continuously riding, all were in discipline. UNIDOS and
BLACK HAWK rode as one, I was bit relaxed in my neck
but not completely out of pain but it was bearable.
Kya pata road pe ek alag see kashish thi... hum log
Himachal Pradesh enter kar chuke the... with every
twist and turns I noticed my UNIDOS were enjoying.
As a tail and a free rider I had the privilege to overtake
any rider and see their discipline but this time I
overtook my UNIDOS not to check their discipline but
to see their changed behaviour. I overtook each and
every UNIDO and looked at their eyes and body
language, they seemed more engaging and serious
about that ride which I never saw it before this ride.. I
am particularly talking about novice riders who have
never participated in long distance rides.
I came back to my tail with the satisfaction in my heart..
ki jo har admin karna chahta hai.. chahe koi bhi
group ka ho... woh aaj mai mehsoos kar raha tha..
"The Commitment" - Commitment towards the ride,
commitment for the admin and a leader, respect for
each-other, and a sense of brotherhood.
Yeh baate sikhai nahi jaa sakti.. yaa phir samjhayi
nahi jaa sakti.. jab tak ki tumhe dil se feel naa ho ki
"WE ARE ONE" tab tak brotherhood kya hota hai
woh samaj nahi aa sakta.
I saw many of my UNIDOS observed how other clubs
and individuals came to meet me from different
different states and not only that.. they actually stood
on the highways with the bottles of water for all the
riders and waited in the strong sunlight - just to see us
and give water. (Especially I thank Mr. Tejinder and
his group for doing that for us).
