Beauty.....

After a hectic week of work work and more work one nice thing happened in my life.. I got to see few of the beautifull things that were created by man...

The eternal wait for the weekend finally ended with my friend calling up on Saturday morning and giving me an exciting news, "There is a vintage car rally happening tomorrow". That alerted all my 18 senses.... the saturday went off in sleep and roaming the nook and corner of Kondapur. Plans on how to reach the far end of the city was in full swing...

The event was to start at 9 in the morning and the ride to that part of the world would take close to an hour. Me, a fellow rider and my roomie decided to go for it and my roomie was so insistent on starting very early to escape from the sun and to watch the cars arrive. Thus all three agreed on the plan and awaited the sunday with great eagerness[well that doesn come often].

Sunday morning.... Everything went real good till breakfast which was around 7 am and we were to start by 8. My fellow rider who was in his friends place came back to his room to get ready and start off.. Thats when the Ravi shastri's and Gavaskars of my room had a brilliant idea of playin cricket [one stupid thing they always do on all weekends.. who wants to stand in the hot sun and complain all day stating that each and every part of the body is paining] and they dragged the one who was supposed to come to the ride as well and few of them were bloody insistent on dragging me along to the God forsaken ground where the residents of Kondapur and nearby villages play a form of game which can be remotely related to some form of a weird thing which exists called as cricket. [I am a great fan of Quake and Half Life]. Since one of the three who were supposed to go to the show was doing somthing which he claimed that it was playing we could not start off. The one hour wait turned out to be more than that, by then I was fuming due to the delay.

Finally everything was in place and we started off on a 40 Km drive to the Far end of the city where the new Airport exists. Once we crossed the city and entered the exclusive road to the airport we had a feel that its a different country as such[jus that iv been in that road a couple of times and it always feels good to ride in those roads].

Since I was riding with pillion ie my roomie who is no less than my size it was pretty tough for my Pulsar to gain high speeds and to add up to that the other bike was a Yam RX 135 which can practically tear the concrete apart on the road. He felt pity for me and maitained the speed I could manage. The moment we reached the destination it was a wonderful sight for all three of us which made us forget everything in the world. There was a Dream bike to any Auto freak and all three of were Motorcycle maniacs, Yes... it was a Yam RD 350 torque induction... sight for sore eyes. Sparkling with new chrome parts stood the majestic beast.

We went in and alas!!! I could listen to Beethoven playing some nice tune in my ears... The beauties were lined up and the line started with a Morris Minor and a Packard and few a couple of Dodges and then was the amazing car which would make Captain Haddock "Ten Thousand Thundering Typhoons" it was a Cadillac.. A Brown colored majestic thing stood there forcing Marutis and Hundais to commit suicide. Again a couple of Morris Minors and one Italiano made Left hand drive Fiat and then came the Jeeps.. Old ones jus like Rajinikant, jus that few were older than him... One American Jeep which was used in the WW II was also on display.

We were jus half way through thats when the real 2nd generation cars were in display... Austins.. with spoke tyres and awesome looks a couple of Austins and one special car with complete Teak body.

After taking pictures like a amateur photographer in a Fashion show we thought its high time we head back home. Thats when our stomachs conveyed the message that something has to be given to them, We reached the Airport and walked sometime to reach the McD inside and hoggled some food and then headed back home.

As usual the cattle like crowd did some damage to the ride but staying in this place I was able to anticipate the animal moves. Needless to say the Yam rider is way too good when it comes to mindless crowd. After an amazing show and nice ride we hit de sack and lazed the day off....
