Bahrain !!! yuppie… finally I reached back, after a gap of 4 years. I missed a lot out here but I must say It feels great to be out here. This time I traveled by Indian airlines budget flight (Indian Line Express), It is a very small flight and it is very congested, you can’t move a muscle more like sitting in the back seat of a Hyundai coupe. The air hostess never smiles, as if she is under paid. On the contrary the flight is really cheap, it is priced 17000 for a 2 way ticket.

 This time the trip was awesome, I had two small kids, to bug me all the time and give me an awesome company. The flight was delayed by an hour and to makes things worst it reaches Bahrain mid-night.

After long time, I got to participate in marriage. I usually miss out most of my relatives marriage, simply because of hectic engineering course. Most of the time, I end up reaching there on the day of the marriage.

But the best part is the entire week was loaded with fun. The best part is I could meet up all my cousins, more or less like a whole family re-union.

anywayz it was a fUUUn weekend !!!!

I got my first bike in my Final year; I was keen on sticking to hero Honda, simply because I was used taking Shakir’s splendor. I always knew that hero Honda an edge over the others over it’s millage.

I spent nearly a week looking for which bike to buy, I liked hero Honda’s hunk, the base price was around 65k then. But my budget was 50k.so obviously I couldn’t go with Hunk, so the next one with a lower price tag was splendor series and passion series. Passion came up to 55k ( on road ) were as the splendor series came below 48k ( on road ).

Passion was a descent buy for the price it offered but then the design was so common and didn’t offer any new features from it’s previous versions , except for it alloy wheels. That is when I gave a glance on hero Honda’s new babe in the splendor NXG.

The bike was unique from the other splendor series and had an awesome upgrade like a new body design, fuel cock lock system, new silencer design and speedometer ( only one dial ), however one disappointment is the throttle design, hero Honda has kept the U bend, I would have preferred a more linear one like the the CBZ or apache RTR. Another disappointment was the absence of self ignition (probably done to cut down cost).

Ram and me went to book the bike and later me and Arun picked the color of the bike, The first time I rode the bike, I was a bit nervous and had a crazy notion of all the possible accidents going through by head, after a couple of Days I got it registered ( TN BB 07 3560 ).

For the first few day’s it was annoying to go below 60km/hr, since it was good for the engine, and would improve the millage. Hence I had to go in the economy level till the first service. But then after that was no stop. I touched 90km/hr in tidal park road before my second service.

the chennai connection !!!!!

chennai, an amazing plaace that I spent for the pas 6yrs and I must say, I had an amazing time out here,
three years of diploma and now another 3 years of engineering. I guess I learned life, the hard way out here,
 and met up some extra ordinary people over her espec. the titanz, varun, rakesh and ram’s amazing set of
 friends.

One of the best places that I am gonna miss is the IIT campus, that’s one of our favourite hid out, I usually
 have dinner out,the place is opposite to anna university, actually the entry is restricted but then we
 have a friend out there it’s easier for us to sneak in. ( cont / )
