<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. <b>Reliable</b></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whenever someone asks me ‘How’s the
bike?’, my first response to them is not the speed or the performance of the
bike but one word, that it is fucking reliable. Trust me when I say this, you
can take this bike out for a long ride on any given day without having a
slightest worry or doubt about its performance on a long ride or whether it
leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere. For me, this peace of mind is what
matters the most when I ride. So far my longest ride has been a 1700km over 3
days. It had mix of terrain and I never faced a single problem with the bike
and its performance, not even a clutch cable breaking. I wasn’t even carrying
the basic spares but that’s how much I trust this bike. I am yet to take it to
Leh and that will be a different review altogether but so far over the 27000km
I have ridden on this over last 1.5 years over all kinds of roads and terrains,
this bike has performed way beyond my expectations. </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are riding it in the city, you
will love it for the quick acceleration punch it gives required for quick
overtakes in the city traffic. Or its ability to maneuver across the traffic
because of its light weight and superb handling. The gear-box is six speed but
for city riding you will never cross 4<sup>th</sup> gear (unless you ride in
low rpms like me). Feels good to leave everyone behind at every traffic signal
halt :P<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now talking about highway riding and
touring on this bike. No doubt the seat is hard and it’s not the ‘most’
comfortable seat for touring, but I have noticed that over these 1.5 years of
owing the bike the seat has taken the shape of my but and I feel that too soft
a seat is not good for your back and a seat little hard like this one keeps you
in alert mode over long rides and doesn’t make you fall asleep. I won’t deny
that there were slight cramps in my thighs after the long rides but I guess
that’s the case with most of the bikes- please correct me if I am wrong.
Talking about the riding position, it is slightly aggressive and your feet
rests slightly behind the regular position but over the time I have got
comfortable with this riding position and I can’t deny I like it this way.
Makes it easier for me to stand on the foot pegs too.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can easily cruise on this bike
throughout the day at the speeds of 110/130kmph which are according to me is a
safe range for touring on Indian roads. Although it can still reach a maximum
of 170kmph but why push it to the limits when the job is getting done in much
less load on the engine. Find a patch of smooth roads and you can easily cover
at least 70-80 km in an hour. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have taken this bike for lot of
off-roading as well and it has performed superbly. Durable and rugged
performance. It’s not a very heavy bike so you can easily lift it in case you
fall.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As
I mentioned above the bike is very reliable, this means less problems with the
bike. This doesn’t mean you don’t pay attention to it and skip the regular
services. That will be silly and do not expect any bike to perform if you
ignore its regular service visits. But looking at the other general problems
which other riders face on their bikes, I can say that I haven’t faced such
small problems so far like breaking of clutch/throttle cable, breaking of chain,
oil leak, wheel locking etc. and so I never spent money to fix these problems
on my bike which are very common otherwise. You will however spend money on changing
the tyres very soon because the Metzelers which come as a stock tyres with this
bike wear out very soon. They are just wonderful tyres and there is no doubt
about it but a new set of Metzelers will cost around 16,000-17,000 Rs. which is
very expensive. Many of the Duke 390 riders shift Michelin tyres and they are
very close to Metzelers in performance and are much cheaper. Anyways going back
to the point, daily riding on Duke 390 is free from majority of common
problems.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

not a beautiful gorgeous and best looking bike but you will still find people
asking about the bike and giving a second look to your bike. May be it’s the looks
of the bike (same as Duke 200?) or may be the sound of the bike, I don’t know.
I am just happy with the attention I get in the traffic :P</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I
was all set to buy Duke 200 when Duke 390 was just about to be launched. I was
expecting it to be around Rs. 2.7-2.8 lakh on road price and that was far out
of my budget. But I was shocked to see that Bajaj launched the bike at a much
lower price and I paid Rs. 2.03 lakh on road in Chennai. You find it expensive
? I will say the for the whole package of features of the bike along with the
world class engine performance, this bike is a steal and a GREAT value for
money. This bike is a clear winner in terms of value for money when you compare
it with other brands in this class. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So this was pending for lonnng. I had purchased these two LED spot lights, bought it from aliexpress.com as I got a good deal (mind you they take 40-50 days to reach India via free shipping). So I was in procrastinating mode and never got it fixed and just kept asking around friends on the ideas on where should I fit it, the clamps and fixtures and all. I was acting lazy. Now after moving to Gurgaon this was on top of the list and last Sunday I managed to go to Carol Bagh to get it done. This write-up is just to share the pictures of the installation process for other riders to see if they want to do something similar. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was hesitant in putting these lights on the forks cuz didn't want to mess with the paint and I also didn't want to open the fork clamps.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After being satisfied that there will be no problem in turning the handlebar completely and the strip will withstand the load of the lights even on a day long ride I gave a go-ahead to the mechanic. He quoted Rs. 300 to fix the lights which seemed pretty reasonable amount. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I clicked some pictures with and without these lights on for comparison purpose and you can see the difference below:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. Headlight low beam, LED OFF /ON (click the pic to enlarge)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First pic is with LED off and second pic is with LED on. As you can see there is an increased , longer visibility (2nd circle on top) and wider range (1st circle on top, and botton two circles).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Headlight high beam, LED OFF /ON (click the pic to enlarge)</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I rarely ride in high beam mode because I hate riding against it myself so I don't want others to suffer because of my high beam. However in high beam mode, there is small difference in range and visibility with these spot lights on. 2nd pic is with LED lights on. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now you can decide if this difference and increase in range and visibility is good enough for you to buy these lights or not!</span></div>

build a whole write up around it and publish it as an 'article'. I supose they
call it entertainment news. As soon as TVF or AIB uploads a new video, their
story about it is already up. Something interesting going on in Quora, a new post is up. If they really want to show some interesting and
entertaining content, they can also show some common people doing interesting
stuff in India or around the villages, for example the innovative minds in
Indian villages and their scientific inventions, etc. GIF reactions? Sorry I
forgot how to feel angry when someone rides rashly in traffic because I guess I
am supposed to react with a gif animation of Ranbeer Kapoor feeling angry. I
have a feeling they have one team working on extracting gif animations from
movies and another one working on giving captions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

against such ‘entertainment news’ sites but when it comes to content like
these, I think we all should be aware enough to comment on it on how its
wasting our time and expect some better content from them. Some of you will say
if you don’t like their posts do not go on their websites. True, I have
un-liked all their Facebook pages and I do not visit these websites. But these
are my views on whatever I have observed so far and I see no harm in sharing my

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I have been riding motorcycles for 6
years now. I do not count the riding experience of anything before that because
I didn’t have a driving license then. Roughly more than 60,000 kilometers done
with the two motorcycles I have owned in past. Each kilometer ridden adds to
your experience towards becoming a better rider. However riding in India is not
a cakewalk for riders. Bad roads? Well not really but the bigger threat to
riders is all the elements around which if neglected could make the ride
unsafe. In this article I am just trying to help you all on how to ride a
motorcycle safely in India. I do not consider myself as an expert rider and
this is just what I have learnt over last few years of riding. If you
consciously follow these points while riding I hope it can help you avoid some
accidents on road. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Riding Gear:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Most of us neglect the need of riding gear. To be honest, it
is the most important way to help you stay safe on the road. If you are a
sensible rider and not a maniac, you can easily assume that most of the
accidents happen on the road. In case of a fall or a similar incident, riding
gear is the only thing which can save your head and body or at least reduce the
extent of the damage/injury.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">A complete set of riding gear may consist of – a good
quality DOT certified (preferably full face) helmet, riding gloves with knuckle
protection, a riding jacket with in built armor to protect shoulder, elbows and
back, riding pants with thigh protection and in built knee guards, riding shoes
which are at least ankle length. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Now you can buy all this stuff starting from few thousands
rupees to lakhs of rupees depending on the quality of the gear you wish to
purchase. It is always advisable to invest in good quality riding gear (especially
helmet) because they work the best in protecting you in case of a fall or an
accident. You can read about benefits of wearing a helmet from <a href="http://bakwasradio.blogspot.in/2013/09/benefits-of-wearing-helmet.html?spref=tw" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">my other post</span></a>. Also
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LfEFhBelTY" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">watch this video</span></a> to know the importance of buying a good quality helmet,
just imagine if it was your head under that cheap helmet in the video!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">You might argue that how can I ride every day and all the
time in full riding gear. Well honestly with Indian weather conditions, you can’t.
However it is advisable to wear minimal riding gear all the time while riding-
full face helmet, gloves, and ankle length boots. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I ride 50 km every day to and from work and believe me I
have seen traffic and people on road at their worst and least sensible behavior.
It’s like people leave their brains in fridge at home before they come out to
drive/ride. Such traffic idiots who do not know how to cross the road, idiots
who change driving lanes suddenly and without indicating etc. might become the
cause of an accident! These idiots get on your nerves and you wish you could
just kill them right away. However I have learnt that it is best to not to
argue with such idiots and keep riding away with a calm mind. #OmShanti <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">You will also meet some maniacs on road every day who will
try to race with you. Even if you ignore them completely they will not stop
teasing you by riding madly around you trying to prove I don’t know what. When
I was returning from my <a href="http://bakwasradio.blogspot.in/2014/08/ride-to-kolli-hills.html" target="_blank">Ride to Kolli Hills</a> I met such an idiot on
road. The problem with such idiots is that they think just because you are in
full riding gear and riding a decent machine, you are trying to race with them.
He kept riding along me in a mad way as if he was a circus artist. He even
provoked me to race and kept following me till my home! LOL! I did not utter a
single word and kept riding at my own speed as if he didn’t exist. Such jobless
assholes!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Look for unexpected
elements:</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">While riding in city or on highways you must always be
alert. Unexpected elements such as a dog or a cow might appear out of nowhere
on the road making you panic brake. Panic braking might lead to skidding if
your tyres are worn out and this might lead to a fall if you fail to control
your bike. While cruising on the highways always maintain a speed comfortable
enough for you to handle the bike even if you have to brake hard at times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Other unexpected elements could people turning up on road
out of the bushes, and again..out of nowhere. Cars and bikes changing lanes
suddenly could also disturb your riding and giving you a jolt. Then another
important area where you have to be extra careful are the junctions on the
highways and the streets joining in the highways. You will see cars entering
the highway from these streets with the largest turning radius possible without
paying heed to the incoming traffic from behind. They end up taking up your
line of riding in the road making you apply brakes hard. Again, no fault of
yours but your safety was at risk. Always slow down at the junction and such
streets joining the highways.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Believe it or not one of the biggest irritating and even a
safety risk factor are the people turning left/right without indicating. Same
for changing lanes. They never use rear/side view mirrors or the turn
indicators on their vehicle. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Such people make me feel that if automobile companies do not
fix the turn indicators and rear/side view mirrors in the vehicles, they will
save so much cost. People don’t use these things anyways. Always use turn
indicators 20-30 meters before you are going to turn. Use rear view mirrors. Do
not ride in the blind spot of mirrors of other vehicles. People who use
rear/side view mirrors can’t see you if ride close enough in the range of blind
spot to the vehicle. See the pic below to understand this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Sometimes on the road you have to rely on your intuition, to
predict the traffic around you. Such as the bus moving in front of you, will it
turn left or go straight? If you knew this you would plan your lane change and
vary speed accordingly. But the bus driver hardly cares to indicate. Look at
the bus number, see the route where it is going. If you ride on the same road
every day you should be aware of such things by now. This way you can guess
whether the bus will turn or go straight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">People on road on two wheelers tend to look to their sides whether
someone is coming from behind, instead of looking in their rear view mirrors. When
this happens I always slow down because this means that guy is going to change
lanes! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Slow down at speed breakers, they are there for a reason. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Ride with your headlights on. Even if its day time switching
on your headlight increases your visibility on the road for the people in front
of you whether they are driving in same or opposite direction. A headlight on
is more visible in the rear view mirrors of the cars and hence they are aware
of your presence on the road. However during night time riding with high beams
could blind the other guys coming on two wheelers from the opposite and hence a
risk to yourself. Nobody likes to be blinded by the stupid high beams. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Do not mess with the truck drivers on the highways. One
small turn of their steering could prove fatal for you. Whenever overtaking
these trucks always honk enough to show them your presence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Always keep your bike in fully functional condition. Get the
brake pads checked. Pay attention to the life of tyres and know when it’s time
to change them. If possible, invest in a bike which comes with ABS (Anti-Lock
Braking System). I ride a bike with ABS and believe me it’s a life saver. ABS
is a safety feature in a motorcycle prevents wheel locking when brakes are applied
hard and all of a sudden. Anyone riding a bike with ABS will agree with me on
this! Always apply both the brakes. Applying both the brakes reduces the
braking distance considerably.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its human nature to feel
desired, needed by friends, society, people. Its natural to feel the need for
attention of others, because it makes us feel important and gives us some kind
of undefined value to ourselves. What do people do to get this attention?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some people just ask for
it. They are very outspoken in demanding attention and do not miss any chance
to make others feel that the world will not be a better place without them.
Whether or not they actually are capable of doing a task, they will never stop
bragging about how they could have done things in a better way than the others.
Any charity they do, or if they helped someone, you will get to know about it
without asking. You just cannot miss recognizing such a person around you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then there are people who after doing charity want to update it on Facebook/Twitter. Although they do not talk about it much but all they want is more likes. Actually Facebook/Twitter have taken the need of feeling important to a new level. I still do not understand the deep sub-conscious pleasure each Like on your pic brings or a retweet to your tweets on Twitter. Does it make us feel that we are better than others? In what way? Because we got more likes or retweets does it give an upper hand to us in social situations or professional? May be we have learnt to live with it without bothering for the answers.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At this point I would
like to ask...myself. Selfie. Its very much evident that selfie is just an act
or expression which demands attention of the world (once you upload it on a
social networking site). Do you click selfies? Do you click selfies and look at
it and admire yourself? Is it wrong to admire yourself? Apart from selfies,
what are other ways to admire yourself? Can it be a smile you bring on
someone's face? I do not know if its wrong or right. But should one send
his/her selfies to others asking and expecting their good comments? How valid
is that in feeling needed or to satisfy the hunger for attention? I do not know
the answers. If you do please comment below!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The other kind of people
which do not demand for any attention even when they actually complete
important jobs or do some kind of charity or help others. They are okay if they
do not get praised by others because it does not matter to them. They are okay
if they do not get 100 likes or retweets and they just keep doing their job
without bothering for others comments. Why are such people different from
others? What else is satisfying their need for attention rather than someone
praising them or liking their pictures/status? Again..if you think you know the
answer do comment below!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3 day long weekend and we have
another write-up here. Don’t worry I will keep it short this time. I was clear
that I wanted to do a day-ride this time meant I wanted to be back by 5-6pm at
my home. This meant that the ride has to be around 100-200km one way but there
are not many places around Chennai apart from regular Mahabs and Pondi which I
have done several times. However asked some friends around and they suggested
Venkatagiri falls, Tada falls etc. I looked up both and finalized Tada falls
which is 115km one way from my home. Also did some research and came to know
that it has a bit of off-roading and a lot of trekking inside the jungle.
Sounds exciting to me! So the route map:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now I have ridden on this road
before so route planning wasn’t a big task. I just wanted to start early and be
back early and take rest. But I had no idea of the fun which was in store this
time for me. So I started at 7am from my home and doing moderate speeds of
90-100kmph I reached 23km from my destination which was at about 08:25am and I
was very hungry by this time and stopped for breakfast. Felt better after
satisfying my stomach and I was back on the bike again. This road offered the
views of clear blue sky and greenery around.</span></div>

reach the parking spot and no car or motorcycle can go further. There is a

your last stop to stock water, biscuits and such items because inside you will
not get any. DO NOT GO INSIDE WITHOUT CARRYING WATER.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And after coming down the bridge,
you are given the option of two paths (Sorry I don't have a pic to explain this). One which goes to your left and another
towards right. If you choose to walk on the trail on your right, it’s tough but
relatively easy. Lots of ups and downs, rocks etc. But if you choose to walk on
the trail on your left, you are sure to have a good time and here you can
experience proper ‘trekking’ inside a jungle. Lots of rocks, you will walk
around/inside the water and this makes the experience the real deal. I chose
the left trail.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The natural water is so clear
that you do not get it see every day and suddenly realize that you are away
from the noisy chaos that city life is. Once inside it’s just you and the sound
of birds you get to hear. There are lot of butterflies inside and they will
love to fly with you as you walk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The trek towards the main falls can
be divided into ..say 6-7 stages. If you choose the left trail near the stream
of water as I did, you will realize that as you progress and walk/climb, the
flow of water increases slightly. The trek consists of climbing and crossing
several rocks, stream of water, you have to make your way between the trees and
plants and be careful here some thorns might rub your skin off so make sure you
are covered completely. At some points you will see that you cannot move ahead
near the stream of water, here you have to climb your way towards the land if
you wish you can come back to the stream of water. I was enjoying the sound of
water flowing and it kept me going. The water was so clear.more pics:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After trekking for sometime, you
will reach a point where you have no option but to walk along the main trail.
Walk on this for sometime again and reach the rocks and the waters. One thing
is clear(apart from the water, as you are moving ahead, the curiosity and the
excitement to reach to the main source of water also keeps increasing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It’s just a challenging trek
ahead keep going ahead you will not regret till you reach the end. More pics

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The water is cold and there are
lot of fishes inside the water but they will not harm you. However be careful
of slippery surfaces on the rocks otherwise you can easily fall and break your
head lol.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now if you are expecting a huge
water fall here, I would say you will be disappointed. There is just moderate
amount of water flowing which the locals started calling as falls. Also this
time when I went the water falls magnitude was reduced as told by someone.
Personally for me, the whole experience of trekking inside the jungle and
climbing up the tough terrain to reach all the way to up this point was what
counted. I will never forget this experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

in the water, people had started coming in, I asked someone to click a picture

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As promised, I am keeping this
travelogue short. This time I realized that the trekking part was more fun than
the riding part and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have lot of footage
from the action cam which needs sorting and stuff so I will try to add a video
to this post later, till then please manage with the pics!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

sometime and started riding back at 12:30 and reached home by 2:15pm. Some pics while riding back:</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So...another ride..another story is here. I would like to call this one as the year ending ride. I was already itching to ride since it had been quite a while after my <a href="http://bakwasradio.blogspot.in/2014/08/ride-to-kolli-hills.html" target="_blank">Ride to Kolli Hills</a>.This ended up being my longest ride so far and I am happy about it. I always wanted to ride to Pamban Bridge, Rameswaram because the fact that it’s surrounded by sea all around always attracted me. This time I had 3-4 days in hand so I thought I can add one more place in this ride plan. I was thinking of Kanyakumari first but then I thought it will be too much of ocean lol. I ended up adding Munnar, Kerala to my plan because when I saw the pictures of Munnar and read other ride stories, I couldn’t stop myself. Also because this was about 345km from Rameswaram which was easily doable in one day. So after abusing Google Maps for a while, this is what my route map looked like:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After that I had to plan the timings across the route so that I stick to a target speed and time of reaching the destination. I think it is important to plan the timings on a long ride so that you know you are going on the right track and will reach on time to your destination. So the plan was to ride to Rameswaram on day 1, to Munnar on day 2, and back to Chennai on day 3. And this is what the ride plan I came up with:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I knew I had to start early and I am glad I was able to stick to the plan. I started from home at 4:45am. I had considered the time to next destination on a very high side and I knew I will be able to do much faster timings. So as per the plan I considered 64 km to Chengalpattu in 1.5 hours where as I actually did it in 1 hour. So that way I did good timings throughout the ride.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The only thing I do not plan is the time to eat on a ride however I make sure that I keep drinking water at regular intervals because staying hydrated is important. So the ride started brilliantly with me doing good speeds on the smooth roads. However I did a mistake. After crossing Thindivanam, I came inside on state highways whereas I should have stuck to NH45 until Thanjavur at least and then I should have come to Pudukottai on state highways. Mistake because the road was in conditions till Pudukottai and honestly I won’t say it was a treat to ride on those roads. Anyways after riding for 238km at a stretch I stopped for breakfast at 8:40am and Thanjavur was 90km from there. Some village men started checking my bike out and asked if it was a race bike and all sort of questions. One of them said it looks beautiful and I smiled at him. I have learnt that we have to be polite to the people!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Felt much better after the needed break and I was back on the bike and soon I started feeling the wind and breeze of the ocean as I was riding towards the Pamban Bridge. Not much later it was visible too. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had stopped to click some pics and few guys came in a car and started asking about my bike and if I was racing or something. Again I had to tell that I am not from a race and just on a leisure ride.</span><br />

You are surrounded by ocean from both sides and the wind just refreshes you. Honestly I was not feeling tired at all after reaching here.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After reaching the Dhanuskodi beach, you can ride in the sand if you have got off-road tyres or you can take the Jeep to go towards the lands end about 8km far from the beach from where Sri Lanka is visible. I decided not to test my street tyres and relaxed at the beach for a while.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also I noticed that it was cloudy so there was no point in waiting for the sunset. At 4:30pm I left Dhanushkodi and came back to Rameswaram at about 5:30 pm and started enquiring hotels/lodges for accommodation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bad luck! There was not a single place where I got a room to stay for the night. Apparently there was some religious god thing going on and truck and bus load of pilgrims had come from other towns to Rameswaram so there was no chance I would get an accommodation. One guy suggested that I go back to Ramanathapuram and I would get a room to stay there for sure and at a cheaper rate also. It was about 6:10 pm and already getting dark. But I had no choice other than riding 72km back to Ramanathapuram. It was dark now and the biggest threat on the road became the high beams from cars. I kept riding slow and safe , stopped to clean the insects and dust off the helmet visor and riding at a steady 50-60kmph this time I reached Ramanathapuram at 7:30pm. I got a decent accommodation at a lodge and had dinner at this duplicate KFC joint lol<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Time to ride on the hill roads then which means lot of curves but at a slow speed.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The road uphill towards Munnar is also in mixed condition. Lot of road construction work is going on and you have to be careful and ride slow on these roads. The road leading to Munnar is so green you feel as if you riding in a jungle. I stopped for a while to drink water and could hear the sounds of birds and insects which made me feel very close to the nature. This was a good experience and made me happy. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I reached Munnar top at about 2:15pm riding slow and enjoying the nature around. I thought I should fix the accommodation first before doing something else and I faced the same problem again. No accommodation because Christmas/New years. The ones available were too expensive. However I talked one guy out to provide me a room for a night at a decent rate and so I was relieved. But he asked me to come at 5:30pm that means I had to roam around. Asked him of the places nearby to see and he said I can go to Atoka Waterfalls about 8km away.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I crossed the wildlife sanctuary and I found straight roads. How I missed the straights! I was actually happy to be on these smooth roads again because I could now ride fast to make up for the lost time. I was riding at 120-130 kmph on the beautiful smooth roads after Udumalpet. Stopped for coffee at about 10:15am and I still had not reached Avinashi(45km away) which I was supposed to reach at 10am. By the way the coffee was very good.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This return route I took to Chennai is slightly longer but faster as its only on the national highways. I missed a signboard and went inside Tirupur city and got stuck in traffic. However came out quickly and back to NH47 towards Erode after crossing Avinashi. I was running late!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I stopped for lunch at about 1:30pm and Chennai was 380 km away from this point. It was only smooth riding on the smooth highways now. That means I could easily do 130-135kmph throughout which I had to reach on time and reach home before it got dark. Nobody likes to ride in the dark, may be some people do but I don’t.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At 3:50pm, Chennai was 100km away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now about the bike. I am so happy that made a decision to buy a Duke 390. Didn’t give any problems at all. This bike is so reliable that on any given day you can start the bike and go on a long ride without having to worry about even a clutch cable breaking. This reliability is all want in a motorcycle and of course the ability to do good speeds throughout the day. More respect for this machine now.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also the Viaterra Velox, motorcycling luggage solution only for Duke bikes made carrying stuff on the ride so easy. This one bag from the set carried one water bottle,1 jeans, 1 t shirt, one rain liner, one sweat shirt, inner wears, chocolate box, tea packets, small towel, muc off cleaning kit, and a rain cover for the bag itself!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall, I am happy that I was able to go for this ride. I have also realized after this ride that the best time to do what you want is right now… and with our busy life and schedules, tomorrow never comes. It just takes a split second to make the decision of actually doing what you want and postponing it to tomorrow. Next year, more places to see, more roads to ride on….I close the year with this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">One problem a solo rider like me faces is that there is no body to click my pictures :P. But that doesn't mean I can't click a selfie </span><br />

Hello. I am an Indian. I am going to talk about myself a little here. I am a typical Indian and not a one of the rare exceptions which do not fall into any category. Yes I will fit into all your assumptions about Indians and trust me I won't disappoint you.<br />
<br />
I favor the majority, because I am scared of something. Something inside me, which tells me that If I favor the minority, even If I know in my heart that its the truth and the right thing, people will make fun of me or I will be disowned from the society.<br />
<br />
I always talk about how people should do the right thing and how they should follow the right path doing things which make the world a better place. This includes, no corruption, no littering, no eve-teasing etc. But yes, I just talk about it. Because when it come to my own self I am the biggest hypocrite you will meet. I will not think twice before offering 100rs. to the traffic cop because I jumped the red signal. I am in favor of the Swacch Bharat campaign and I even participated in it and cleaned the park in our society. But I will not teach the kids and people around to not to make the place dirty in the first place. I condemn rape and I think we should respect women. But when a girl wears a skirt in public I stare at her as if I have never seen some skin in my whole life.<br />
<br />
Oh yes I am on twitter too. Because I like to keep it up with the time. Twitter because its an easy place to vent your anger and also to express your opinion. It gives me a safe hideout to escape the actual grounds where all the action is happening. Its a place for commentary and not action. So I like it here. I can criticize people, the system, our cricket team, specially Bollywood. Because I watch a movie which I know is going to be bad, just to crib about it later. And its easy to make fun of people here. Making fun of other is my fundamental right, it must be there somewhere in our constitution I am sure.<br />
<br />
I will make my son either a doctor or an engineer. I don't care what he wants to become in his life or what his interest and passion is because they don't matter.When he grows up, its my duty to find him a suitable life partner within our caste. I should this at the earliest because then I can live my retired life in peace.<br />
<br />
When I die , I want to go to heaven. To ensure this and to get rid of the sins I have done in this and in my previous life, I will spend money foolishly because I know it will help!<br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It had been a while since I went
for a long ride and nothing seemed like a better time than the 3 day weekend of
15-17 August. Earlier I was planning to ride to Horsely Hills, Andhra Pradesh
which is like 270 km from Chennai. But someone told me that it’s not worth
going alone so I dropped that idea. So I posted in KTM 390 Facebook group
if any of them was riding this weekend. One of guys(Dhannan) replied that he
was riding to Kolli Hills. I immediately googled about it and found that it’s a
beautiful place. What immediately sparked excitement in me was the fact that it
had 70 hairpin bends! Then I started imagining myself leaning around the bends
hehehhe. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to Wikipedia, Kolli
hills is a small mountain range located in central Tamil Nadu in Namakkal
district of India. The mountains are about 1300 m in height and cover an area
of approximately 280 km². The Kolli Hills has 70 hair pin bends to reach the
top of the hills. The Kolli Hills are part of the Eastern Ghats, which is a
mountain range that runs mostly parallel to the east coast of South India. The
mountains are relatively untouched by commercial tourism and still retain their
natural beauty. The Mountain is named Kolli Malai behind the name of Goddess
Ettukkai Amman(KolliPaavai).The Goddess has been guarding the hills from evils
and the same is believed even now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I asked Dhannan if I could join
him for the ride and he was kind enough to let me ride with him. The plan was
to start early morning on 15<sup>th</sup> August, reach Namakkal where we would
have a break for sometime at his friend’s place. From Namakkal, Kolli hills is
25km /an hour’s ride away. The route we
took was this :</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I woke up early on 15<sup>th</sup>
August and met Dhannan at Vandalur. I was not surprised to see the road full of
cars and bikers even at 5am ! Guess
everybody had their plans to escape from Chennai this weekend. The place I
waited seemed like a regular meeting point for bikers. Spotted few RE riders, a
Yezdi group and a Triumph Bonneville, FZ1, Triumph Street Triple, and few
Harleys waiting for assembly. Dhannan came at 6:10am and we started riding at
6:15 am. After riding for about 190km, at 8:00am we reached Villupuram highway and
decided to have breakfast. We were doing good speeds of 120-130kmph. Two stops
for petrol during the ride as we were riding fast and one full tank gave us

to take some pics on the road. Because both of us felt that when you are riding
solo there is no one to take pics haha. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The roads are just smooth so by
10:30am we reached Namakkal and waited at Dhanan’s friends house. Now he was
coming in his Maruti 800 from Chennai and was far behind us. He reached
Namakkal at 3pm. After having lunch and taking rest, we started riding to Kolli
Hills. As you are closing in the hills, the lush greenery around starts giving
you the feel of it. Even the hill roads are very smooth to ride on. Some pics
while riding up the hills:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have never had so much fun
riding up hills. I had changed the rear tyre just a day before this ride so I
had full confidence in leaning around the bends. The experience can’t be explained
in words. With every bend you take in the right line, it’s just the feeling of
winning and happiness. Apart from the 70 hairpin bends, the road in general was
full of curves. Sadly you can’t stop at every bend to take pictures because you
have to continue riding. Although I really wish there was some invisible angel
photographer with every rider who could click pictures anytime the rider
wanted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

woke up next morning at 5am. We decided to ride even further to the top as
there was a temple and a view point where we could see the sunrise from. But we
reached a little late and missed the sun rise. There was a famous temple up
there, no pics of the temple as I stay away from temples. But yes, other pics
from the top:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So after our photo sessions we
decided to head back to the lodge. We geared up and at 11 am we started back to
Namakkal from the lodge and reached there at 12:00 noon. Took rest for some
time and left at 12:30 from Namakkal as we had to reach Chennai as early as
possible before it got dark. We decided to ride a little fast.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh boy the ride back to home I
can never forget and I was wondering why didn’t I enjoy this much while going
to that place. I have never cruised at 140-150kmph ever for this long time. For
the longest time I got to use the 6<sup>th</sup> gear of my bike. Because NH 45
is butter smooth and the traffic was less, we were able to do these speeds.
Also I touched 160kmph for at least 3-4 times for good duration of time. I am a
ton up boy now! I found my bike rpm has been blocked so could not cross 160 :-/
. Here I would just like to say that riding fast does not mean riding rash so
please do not assume that we were riding irresponsibly. Thanks :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the lunch we kept varying
our speeds , overtaking each other, riding slow, riding fast otherwise it could
get a little boring. So you have to play games like these to keep the fun alive :P. Although this highway
was such a welcome change from the boring Chennai-Bangalore highway. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At 4:30pm we were entering
Chennai and faced traffic jams near Vandalur. Crossing that I faced another
traffic jam at Adyar, tried my best to find my way between the traffic and
finally I was home at 5:00pm. feeling satisfied with the time we did to reach
Chennai.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was absolutely amazing to ride
with Dhannan. He knew that we had to keep up the speeds and he knew his lines. Always
wanted to ride right behind a wheel doing such high speeds, and it’s a great
feeling and gives such a rush to your adrenaline. I conveyed this to him and
thanked him for letting me ride with him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

something new, you bond more with your bike, you become a better rider and with
every ride, you get one more experience, which makes you want to hit the road
again..to a new place. Waiting for the next opportunity to ride again :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">Where to begin…</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

happens that we make great plans out of excitement or just for the sake of it
because planning is very easy but we fail to execute those plains because of
several reasons. Right from the beginning of this week, me and my colleague had
been planning to ride somewhere on weekend. We were first thinking to ride to
Wayanad, Kerala which is close to 670km from Chennai but I found it a bit long
for a weekend ride because we would have ridden on Saturday and I wanted to be
back by Sunday night which means no time to actually see the place. So I suggested
Yelagiri Hills which is about 235km from Chennai and easily doable in one day.
We can even ride back the same day and that’s what I was planning to do. As
Wiki says, Yelagiri is a hill station in Vellore district of Tamil Nadu and is
surrounded by orchards, rose-gardens, and green valleys. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>

at the route on Google maps. The route was fairly easy and a known one because
I have ridden on this road several times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

weekend, what I expected actually happened. My colleague backed out saying he
had to go to Bombay urgently. But this time I didn’t want the plans to fail and
I had already decided whether he is coming or not I am definitely riding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>

start riding by 06:30 am on Saturday(24<sup>th</sup> May), take a breakfast
break at 08:30am, reach Yelagiri by 11-11:30am and head back at around 2pm,
have lunch at around 3:30pm and be back home at about 5pm. Fairly simple and
doable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

had had arrived surprisingly after one day of ordering it. Carrying stuff while
riding is much easier for me now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Either or both of
these two bags can be used while riding. I took only one of them and decided to
observe their performance and utility while on the ride. Fitting it on the bike
was like a piece of cake because these are specifically made for KTM Duke
motorcycles(200 and 390) and it takes only 10-15 seconds for each bag to fit on
the bike. Removing it from the bike is also very easy.</span></div>

camera borrowed from my friend. So at 06:45 am trying to fit the camera on the
bike but unable to figure out certain mounting techniques because I was using
it for the first time. Finally after spending some time on it I was able to
properly fit it on the handle bar of my bike. I started riding at 07:20am.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

many stops on a ride. I kept riding and after covering about 100km I started
feeling very hungry and stopped for breakfast. Meanwhile I was also manually
clicking pics and videos of my ride on the GoPro. I felt there is some issue
with the cam because it was not recording full length videos and was stopping
after 11 seconds of recording. I figured that out much later.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

stopped for fuel and this was about 70km from Vellore which is about 133km from
Chennai. A complete full tank(9litres) on KTM 390 takes me to a distance of
215km on highways.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the destination was not that far away now. I was doing good speeds of
130-135kmph and it’s just a pleasure to ride this bike. The acceleration is
very quick and the engine can easily do these speeds throughout the day without
taking much strain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

my DSLR bag in the Velox because carrying it on my back was causing me slight
pain. And the Velox could take the medium size SLR bag in it with still some
place left for gloves, a water bottle, keys. Riding became more relaxed after I
took the camera bag off my back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

almost 50km ahead of Yelagiri hills and I kept wondering what the hell just
happened where the fuck is the turn I am supposed to take. Bangalore was just
90km from the place where I stopped to do some ride-meditation! I took my phone
out and checked for directions. Yes.. I had come way ahead. It’s okay.. people

has 14 hairpin bends and I was excited about it. It’s usually cold but it was
very hot when I was riding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

place to go trekking and there are several hills which require short treks to
reach to the top and it offers a great view. However I didn’t have that time at
my hands and I had to head back. I reached the Punganur Lake. It’s an
artificial lake and now it has become a picnic spot and you can go for boating
here. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and the time to head back. I had wasted enough time already in covering the
extra 100km. Any more waste of time now meant reaching home after sunset which
I definitely did not want. I also figured out the settings of the camera by now
to take full length videos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and again I did not want to stop for lunch before 3:30pm. I continuously rode
for 180km and decided to replace lunch with refreshments at the regular CCD we
generally stop at while riding back on that route. I reached here at around
4pm. It was so hot that I wished it rained!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for 35 mins and started gearing up to ride again and noticed that it had
started raining heavily. Just what I was hoping for. So I covered my luggage
bag with the raincover which came with the bags and started riding again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

your mind of the worldly stress. It brings you closer to your inner self and
gives you the much needed change from your daily routine. I’m glad I was able

You should be able to imagine the fact that all the humanity which has ever lived and that will ever live, will be on this planet. Although science doesn't deny the possibility of an extra terrestrial life. You should be able to appreciate the fact fhat this beautiful piece of rock is our home in an endless and infinite universe. If you have a wild imagination then you must be able to imagine our place in this universe. You will realise how small we are. You should be able to imagine the round shape of Earth and always remember that we live on its surface, stuck to it due to gravity. Next time you fly and look down through the window seat, you should be able to imagine that you are viewing our planet from above its surface, i.e. from space technically..although by a very small quotient. Try to imagine the vastness of our planet, so big that it's surface looks flat. If you are able to view the sunset while flying, consider yourself lucky and enjoy the beautiful sight. Click a picture. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZNHOYXrruhy1ytbpcCM4kAgaKgo9IV6NmwOmRKxZGn9BRSAAGYx25n5Fd0csB9Bz1iGBXmB_DSUDREIjbHKjSCLU-egdFkV88ijpgC2vYAK8I0G5QmcyPmxj19YGpbfh6yij1i6HE8dY/s640/blogger-image-1070578118.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZNHOYXrruhy1ytbpcCM4kAgaKgo9IV6NmwOmRKxZGn9BRSAAGYx25n5Fd0csB9Bz1iGBXmB_DSUDREIjbHKjSCLU-egdFkV88ijpgC2vYAK8I0G5QmcyPmxj19YGpbfh6yij1i6HE8dY/s640/blogger-image-1070578118.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Next time when you look up at blue sky, try to think, what gives the sky it's blue colour? If you are curious you will go home and Google the answer. When you look at the stars at night, always remember that it takes light years for the light to reach from the stars to us. Literally you are looking back in time. Some of the stars might be dead by the time it's light actually reaches us. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Now imagine how we look at each other. How we have divided ourselves in terms of nations, religion, caste and colour. Try to look at humans from space, as an outsider what do you notice? It's only us who has created all the differences amongst us. Obviously you can't do anything about it. But you can take a moment to realise our place on this planet, and our planet's place in the universe, making it just one small ..very small piece of rock amongst infinite number of stars and galaxies in the universe. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16364863809161663609noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147707072743642205.post-12531015575791298082014-03-07T01:20:00.000-08:002014-03-28T22:11:46.820-07:00Original Jokes & Memes IV<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I ordered the Blaupunkt Noise Cancellation Comfort CN-112 headphones from ebay. The MRP is Rs. 9411 and you can purchase them on EMI basis also from ebay. I ordered the headphones on 21/02/2014 and on 22nd February I called the seller to check the status of my order. He assured me that it's already packed and I will be getting my headphones on 24/02/2014. I was pleasantly surprised by this quick response from the seller. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I got the headphones on 24/02/2014 as promised by the seller. The cardboard/duct-tape packaging was good and I was satisfied with the packaging. The box was a little bigger than expected. The box contains the a hard case - for carrying the headphones tucked nicely inside the slots which prevents shake, also to store the 3.5mm connecting cable, in-flight adapter, 2 AAA size batteries, and a 3.5mm to 6.3mm jack pin. Apart from the headphones, rest of the items are nicely stored in a small zipper pouch inside the hard case. There are operating instruction manuals in 3 different languages.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The headphones look very much like the ones professionals like DJ use. These are on ear headphones and the ear cups fit very softly on your ears and head without applying too much pressure. This is important because if you plan to use the headphones for a longer duration it can cause pain around ears. <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;">It has very soft foam on the ear cups for comfort and the cups can fold flat if needed. The cord is detachable making it even easier to pack into its neat case.</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;"> The controls for the headphones are located on the left ear cup. The controls are Noise Cancellation toggle switch, Active Noise Cancellation dial and the 3.5mm pin slot. The right ear cup houses the battery slots. The battery power is used only when you switch on the Noise Cancellation. So you can use the headphones even without using the battery power. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Coming to the performance part, if I have to say it in one line, I will say that these headphones are not extremely loud when you use your iPod or mobile phone as the input. But after using the headphones for about 30 minutes I realized that the sound level is just right for longer usage. The bass is really good and heavy and the vocals come out really clear. I was listening to some trance music and the 3D surround sound enhances the listening experience. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Switch on the noise cancellation and you notice the difference. The sound gets so much better and clear with the noise getting cancelled. You can control the amount of noise you want to cancel by adjusting the ANC dial. I felt the sound becomes more 'open' when you switch on the noise cancellation. The cancellation is good and I could not hear the person talking who was sitting right next to me. I could hear him a little when I asked him to shout. I haven't tested these headphones in a noise environment like train etc. as yet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I said, you can use the headphones without using the noise cancellation feature(batteries) and you can use the noise cancellation feature without plugging it to a source of music and it works pretty well. You might want to use later feature when you want to get some sleep in the flight or train without listening to music.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall I am very much happy with the sound quality of the headphones and at this price point it's a great deal.</span></div>

<b><u><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">KTM 390
Track Day- February 2<sup>nd</sup> 2014<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">KTM organized its first ever track day
exclusively for Duke 390 customers at MMSC race track and I was a part of it.
Customers were informed through Facebook and emails 10 days before the event and
were given basic description and requirements to participate in the event. It
was mandatory for the riders to have full riding gear. There was no
registration fee charged and the participation was completely free of cost for
the customers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">On the day of the event, riders
started assembling at the venue at the reporting time of 7:00 AM and
registration started at around 07:30. Registrations included the following:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Signing the indemnity
bond<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Rider numbers were
allocated and corresponding stickers (2no.s) were issued to the riders<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Riding gear
(gloves/knee pad) was allocated to riders on first come first serve basis<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">There were about 80 riders from
Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kochi, Coimbatore apart from Chennai. The registrations
process took around 45 minutes after which the riders were asked to fix the
stickers on their bikes, one on the headlight and one on the rear number plate.
Then there was a basic check-up of the bikes and minor adjustments were made on
all the bikes such as chain slack adjustment, chain lubrication, tyre pressure
check and each bike was signed ‘OK’. Then the riders were asked to enter the
pits where breakfast was served to the riders. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">All the participants were divided into
3 groups according to their rider numbers. KTM had tied up with Apex Racing
academy for the training requirements of the riders. A small briefing was made
by the KTM employee who charted out the flow of the event throughout the day.
Safety and discipline instructions were given by Apex and MMSC track officials
such as importance of flag signals, avoiding overtaking etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The day started with Group 1 going on
the track for 40 mins for a free-ride session, this was without any training or
classroom sessions. The track officials were careful enough to send the riders
on track with sufficient gap in between them so as to avoid cluttering on the
track. After this the Group 1 riders were taken to the classroom session by
Apex officials and Group 2 went for the free-ride session on the track. In the
first classroom session, riders were explained about the importance of correct
racing line, and they were asked to practise the 4thgear-no brakes drill on the
track in the next riding session. Meanwhile Group 2 and Group 3 continued with
their free ride and classroom sessions, one after the other respectively.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">After the second session on the track,
riders were again taken to the classroom and were explained about cornering
techniques, out-in-out line on the corners and riders were no longer restricted
to riding in 4<sup>th</sup> gear. After this the riders went on the track again
for about 30 minutes. This was around 1:30pm after which lunch was served.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">After the lunch Group 1 riders were
taken for the classroom session and this was the last classroom session. This
time the importance of vision and ‘where
to look’ was explained to the riders and how to tackle individual and
particular corners was discussed. It was fairly interactive session and riders
were encouraged to ask questions. We were not asked to lean much by changing
the body position at the corners because according to Apex guys, the tyre
profile of KTM 390 allows the rider to lean sitting in the centre of the seat
and tucking in the legs to the fuel tank.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">There was a tea break at around
3-3:15pm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">All the bikes were fitted with
transponders to record the lap timing throughout the riding sessions on the
track. The classroom and riding sessions for all the groups were over by
4:30pm. After which there was a small closing presentation/briefing by the KTM
employee explaining about the purpose of organizing the event and another VP
from Bajaj-Marketing also addressed the crowd. Top 3 riders in terms of lap
timing were mentioned and the event witnessed no fall/accident throughout the
day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">After about a week KTM shared the link
on their Facebook page for the riders to track their individual time sheet and
observe the improvement in lap timing over the day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Overall the event was organized very
well and there was no confusion ever on what’s going to happen next. Bajaj
employee mentioned that they will keep organizing such events in future also.
It was a great experience. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
This post is simply about the fact that today morning I helped a blind man cross the road.<br />
<br />
This is nothing to boast about. I have friends who have done the same thing and I really appreciate it because giving a moment of your time to a stranger who is in need of help is a kind gesture, more so because that stranger is helpless because he is blind. Nor that I want to get any attention , I just feel like writing about it. Very close to my office I took the left turn and saw that blind man standing, I had seen him a few times earlier being helped by someone to go the other side of the road. Today as I was taking the turn and looking in the rear view mirror, I saw a boy going towards the blind man and I thought he will help him cross the road. But he didn't. I thought what kind of people we have that poor blind man is standing all quiet there and no one is helping him. It didn't take more than a second for me to think that instead of blaming it on people, why can't I go and help him. I stopped my bike , and helped the man cross the road. I feel good about it.</div>

It's a dream come true for me. Last week on October 12th I got my KTM Duke 390 after a long wait of 3 months. Riding a beauty and (beast) like this one is such boost to my inner self. Bike is head turner and the public attention is awesome. It's evident from my smile in the picture that how happy I am. Touring will start now. Let's ride.</div>

<b><u>This is NOT an original post. I am just re-posting the content of the original blog.</u></b><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">In 1900, the British
physicist Lord Kelvin is said to have pronounced: "There is nothing new to
be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise
measurement." Within three decades, quantum mechanics and Einstein's
theory of relativity had revolutionized the field. Today, no physicist would
dare assert that our physical knowledge of the universe is near completion. To
the contrary, each new discovery seems to unlock a Pandora's box of even
bigger, even deeper physics questions. These are our picks for the most
profound open questions of all.</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 22.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>What is dark energy?</b></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">No matter how astrophysicists
crunch the numbers, the universe simply doesn't add up. Even though gravity is
pulling inward on space-time — the "fabric" of the cosmos — it keeps
expanding outward faster and faster. To account for this, astrophysicists have
proposed an invisible agent that counteracts gravity by pushing space-time
apart. They call it<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.livescience.com/32942-what-is-dark-energy.html" style="text-align: start;"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: black;">dark energy</span></a><span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">. In
the most widely accepted model of dark energy, it is a "cosmological
constant": an inherent property of space itself, which has "negative
pressure" driving space apart. As space expands, more space is created,
and with it, more dark energy. Based on the observed rate of expansion,
scientists know that the sum of all the dark energy must make up more than 70
percent of the total contents of the universe. But no one knows how to look for
it.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 22.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>What is dark matter?</b></span><o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Evidently, about 84 percent
of the matter in the universe does not absorb or emit light. "Dark
matter," as it is called, cannot be seen directly, and it hasn't yet been
detected by indirect means, either. Instead, dark matter's existence and
properties are inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter,
radiation and the structure of the universe. This shadowy substance is thought
to pervade the outskirts of galaxies, and may be composed of "weakly
interacting massive particles," or WIMPs. Worldwide, there are several
detectors on the lookout for WIMPs, but so far, not one has been found.</span><o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Time moves forward because a
property of the universe called "entropy," roughly defined as the
level of disorder, only increases, and so there is no way to reverse a rise in
entropy after it has occurred. The fact that entropy increases is a matter of
logic: There are more disordered arrangements of particles than there are
ordered arrangements, and so as things change, they tend to fall into disarray.
But the underlying question here is, why was entropy so low in the past? Put
differently, why was the universe so ordered at its beginning, when a huge
amount of energy was crammed together in a small amount of space?<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

Astrophysical data suggests space-time
might be "flat," rather than curved, and thus that it goes on
forever. If so, then the region we can see (which we think of as "the
universe") is just one patch in an infinitely large "quilted
multiverse." At the same time, the laws of quantum mechanics dictate that
there are only a finite number of possible particle configurations within each
cosmic patch (10^10^122 distinct possibilities). So, with an <a href="http://www.livescience.com/18272-infinity-room-ways-imagine-infinity.html"><span style="color: black;">infinite number</span></a> of cosmic patches, the particle
arrangements within them are forced to repeat — infinitely many times over.
This means there are infinitely many parallel universes: cosmic patches
exactly the same as ours (containing someone exactly like you), as well as
patches that differ by just one particle's position, patches that differ by two
particles' positions, and so on down to patches that are totally different from
ours.<o:p></o:p></div>

Is there something wrong with that
logic, or is its bizarre outcome true? And if it is true, how might we ever
detect the presence of parallel universes? <o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">The question of why there is
so much more matter than its oppositely-charged and oppositely-spinning twin, antimatter,
is actually a question of why anything exists at all. One assumes the universe
would treat matter and antimatter symmetrically, and thus that, at the moment
of the Big Bang, equal amounts of matter and antimatter should have been
produced. But if that had happened, there would have been a total annihilation
of both: Protons would have canceled with antiprotons, electrons with
anti-electrons (positrons), neutrons with antineutrons, and so on, leaving
behind a dull sea of photons in a matterless expanse. For some reason, there
was excess matter that didn't get annihilated, and here we are. For this, there
is no accepted explanation.</span><o:p></o:p><br />

<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
The fate of the universe strongly
depends on a factor of unknown value: Ω, a measure of the density of matter and
energy throughout the cosmos. If Ω is greater than 1, then space-time would be
"closed" like the surface of an enormous sphere. If there is no dark
energy, such a universe would eventually stop expanding and would instead start
contracting, eventually collapsing in on itself in an event dubbed the
"Big Crunch." If the universe is closed but there<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>is</em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>dark energy, the spherical universe
would expand forever.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 16.5pt;">
Alternatively, if Ω is less than 1,
then the geometry of space would be "open" like the surface of a
saddle. In this case, its ultimate fate is the "Big Freeze" followed
by the "Big Rip": first, the universe's outward acceleration would
tear galaxies and stars apart, leaving all matter frigid and alone. Next, the
acceleration would grow so strong that it would overwhelm the effects of the
forces that hold atoms together, and everything would be wrenched apart.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 16.5pt;">
If Ω = 1, the universe would be flat,
extending like an infinite plane in all directions. If there is no dark energy,
such a planar universe would expand forever but at a continually decelerating
rate, approaching a standstill. If there is dark energy, the flat universe
ultimately would experience runaway expansion leading to the Big Rip.<o:p></o:p></div>

In the strange realm of electrons,
photons and the other fundamental particles, quantum mechanics is law.
Particles don't behave like tiny balls, but rather like waves that are
spread over a large area. Each particle is described by a
"wavefunction," or probability distribution, which tells what its
location, velocity, and other properties are more likely to be, but not what
those properties are. The particle actually has a range of values for all
the properties, until you experimentally measure one of them — its location,
for example — at which point the particle's wavefunction "collapses"
and it adopts just one location. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 16.5pt;">
But how and why does measuring a
particle make its wavefunction collapse, producing the concrete reality that we
perceive to exist? The issue, known as the measurement problem, may seem
esoteric, but our understanding of what reality is, or if it exists at all,
hinges upon the answer. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">When physicists assume all
the elementary particles are actually one-dimensional loops, or
"strings," each of which vibrates at a different frequency, physics
gets much easier. String theory allows physicists to reconcile the laws
governing particles, called quantum mechanics, with the laws governing
space-time, called general relativity, and to unify the four fundamental forces
of nature into a single framework. But the problem is, string theory can only
work in a universe with 10 or 11 dimensions: three large spatial ones, six or
seven compacted spatial ones, and a time dimension. The compacted spatial
dimensions — as well as the vibrating strings themselves — are about a
billionth of a trillionth of the size of an atomic nucleus. There's no
conceivable way to detect anything that small, and so there's no known way to
experimentally validate or invalidate string theory.</span><o:p></o:p><br />

solve the set of equations that describes the behavior of fluids, from water to

solution of the so-called Navier-Stokes equations even exists, or, if there is
a solution, whether it describes fluids everywhere, or contains inherently
unknowable points called singularities. As a consequence, the nature of chaos
is not well understood. Physicists and mathematicians wonder, is the weather
