Myself, less my wheels.

I sold my bike - my first valuable possession. I have never been attached so close to anything I ever possessed, as it was to my Bajaj Pulsar 150 DTSi. My first bicycle, the first PC, my new car! - No.. nothing comes even close.

When I bought it, - right after I got my job - it was not merely an act of josh. Back in REC, standing outside the IBM ACE lab and watching the pulsar that one of my 'students' owned, I had dreamt of my own Magic Silver Pulsar. And to be frank, those were the dreamiest of the days I've ever lived.

I was surprised at myself that I had suddenly lost my appetite to rip at 100+kmph. I can't think of one solid reason - a couple of nasty crashed I met with, more weekends spent back at my native, the tragic death that Madhavi met with - may be all of these. And now, after two years, the decision to sell it came quickly because it served more purposes.

Looking forward, I can see that I might miss my bike. I MIGHT!

And here I am, less my wheels.
