I have had some long cycling trips using racing bikes. When you travel on highways and want to save time you have to take racing bikes. They are very light which means your efforts are being used to propel you not your bike. But on the other hand the riding position is such that you…

With all the inspiration doled out by our media, i just had to do it. See the tshirt i have designed. Well the members of this site are mostly americans, dont know if this phenomenon is as hot there.

Have read enough stories of people auctioning varied things like their virginity, to sparing the life of their rabbit for $50,000. Found out that people here have caught on. Stumbled upon this bid on ebay (former bazee) where a guy wants to auction his friends first name. You can read it hereIts most probably a…

One of my friends at work has a fascination for the color blue and has so many anecdotes connected to it. Once on a railway station somewhere in U.P, his father had a really hard time when he put his foot down saying that he would go only on the blue train, which was incidentally…

If you alight at Dadar station and exit through the west side, then walk parallel to the highway towards Matunga, through the mish-mashy salad on the ground, leftovers of the morning wholesale sabzi bazaar, then you will pass beneath the iron bridge. Much tear has flowed under this bridge. Handkerchiefs come out of their solitudes…
