Being A 'MUMBAIKAR...'


Mumbai- the city of dreams, the business capital of India, is the sweetheart of millions of Indians.People define Mumbai in their own ways. But at the end of the day, its ‘AAMCHI MUMBAI’ for all and every individual from this ‘ALL’- a proud ‘MUMBAIKAR.’A Mumbaikar has loved all equally, irrespective of the human nature of discrimination. Even the city has welcomed every guest warmly and treated it as a member of the huge family. Treatment as a member of the family also includes wallet being stolen or being caught by the TC. After all, it’s a family right?

 The city has not only added people, but it has also taught every Mumbaikar to welcome and love the new members. And this is what a Mumbaikar is. Be it good or bad times, you will always see a Mumbaikar smile. One of the best example of it is that even after the attacks, natural calamities on Mumbai, a Mumbaikar is never seen sitting at home. Come what may, he never stops his routine life. A Mumbaikar always helps. Example: during peek hours, when there’s not even little space to enter the local train, a Mumbaikar will always adjust for others. Be it the 26 july floods or attack on Taj, or the bomb blasts, high spirit of humanity always shines. After all, it’s truly said that every moment of a Mumbaikar’s life is risky. And this is where high spirit is seen. And this high spirit makes a Mumbaikar’s life….UNIQUE...

Single road

I have always felt that single roads require more skill to tackle. Recently, I was driving on a single road and the train of thoughts started journeying as I kept munching those miles. The vehicle in the opposite lane was far away and hence, I put my foot on the accelerator to overtake the vehicle in front of me. Just then, another vehicle from behind interrupted my flow and went ahead. On that very road ahead, when I overtook another vehicle, the distance between the vehicle I was overtaking and the one coming from the opposite end was lesser than before. I still managed to do it because the ones ahead of me and in the opposite lane cooperated. At another point, I started overtaking but I was not accelerating fast enough and even though it was safe to overtake, I stopped. If you have experienced any of these things, you must have realised that single roads can’t be managed without the cooperation of others. Of course, not everyone cooperates and you get to see all kinds of drive...

Break or Breakdown?

We all deserve a break. Hang on! The question is: won’t we lag behind if we take a break? I come across many who take frequent breaks at the wrong times. What ensues is a disrupted schedule and breakneck workload. To cope with the load, guess what? Another break. Consequently massive chaos and the decision to avoid taking breaks from the next time. This doesn’t mean that breaks aren’t essential. They surely are! And this blog post is all about the importance of taking breaks. Given our age, we all have different notion of breaks. The ones who don’t really work in a productive way keep on taking breaks. On the contrary, the ones who work with passion often forget the importance of breaks. They say that they fall short of time to take a break. They fear missing the deadline. Surprisingly and contrastingly, a well-earned break will take them closer to their goal! Taking a break means truly separating yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally from that task to indulge in somet...

First century ride - 19 Feb '21

26 January 2021… it must have been my second group ride. I met Nitin Pathak sir again that day. I had met him on the 1 st January ride but for a brief period of time. While we were departing for our respective homes, he asked me to join him for a ride. “At what time do you go for the ride?” “6:30.” “Join me tomorrow. Instead of 6:30, get up a bit earlier, and let us begin at 6.” I agreed and the next morning, we went on a ride. We were four and while returning, we stopped at this roadside dhaba for a delicious breakfast of poha and tea. While we were generally discussing long rides, I said that the presence of professionals in the group would inspire the group to do more. That instant Pathak sir responded, “We can very well do all these things by ourselves. It is not at all difficult. Let us ride a 100 KM distance. What say?” The idea was thrilling. For me, it would mean my first ever 100 km ride. I suggested Pathak sir that we should go in February considering that all of u...
