Today afternoon i decided to do go to the mid way of Mussorie on my bicycle. I was a little hesitant initially but somehow i pushed myself and left home. It was hot but i didn’t feel the heat until i covered around 10 kms. I was drenched with sweat and was thinking what is the use of all this? At the same time an idea flashed in my mind that all great things are difficult and you have to go against the flow of world to do something worthwhile. Evil things tend to pull us down but a hero moves towards the good fighting all odds. Nevertheless it is a herculean task to overcome evil tendencies of mind. Now i got a reason to pedal on.

After covering 15 kms i came across a very steep road which is 3 kms long and if u come downhill on this road you can easily acquire the speed of around 80 km/hr on your vehicle without using the engine. After covering 1 km i thought it is not my piece of cake i should better stop my bike, take some rest and then go back to home. Still i somehow kept pushing myself for few meters. Now i was tending to give up completely till another thought flashed in my mind( Never say i cannot for you can do anything and everything) and i tried convincing my mind that I can do it. Slowly, steadily i kept moving till the time i made it ( Ah! what an experience that was). How beautifully i realised the ancient wisdom of never giving up.

Now i took some rest and then proceeded towards my destination. I was enjoying the beautiful scenery as i was riding whereas people looked at me with awe. Finally after pedaling for another 4-5 kms i reached my destination ( a small eating point by the road side in the midst of beautiful pine trees ). I was sweating badly and asked for some lemonade. It was really refreshing .

Best part of my ride was my journey downhill. As i was coming down i saw an unpaved path and decided to use that although there was a slight hesitation in my mind. This path led to a rivulet and was very clean and green and on top of that golden sunshine falling on trees made the place look like heaven. I had a broad smile on my face. As i went ahead i got hold of the paved road near a village where some small children waved me. I now realised that i took some risk to explore the unexplored. There are so many things in life which we do not explore and the most common among them is simplicity. We meddle so much with computer, television and electronic gadgets and make our lives so complicated that we do not go close to the nature which has so much to offer.

By this time some cold breeze started blowing and its touch took away all the sweat from my body, every kiss of the breeze rejuvenated me and made me think about the mighty one and his unconditional love. I came back to my home a bit tired but thoroughly refreshed.
