Today it was saturday, holiday. It's been about 15-20 days i and Narose dai, in whose house we had stayed in rent a year ago, had been going for morning walk around 5 AM. We go around pashupatinath and play badminton daily.
So, as usual we went to morning walk and played badminton. We returned from morning walk around 7:30 AM. As per the loadsheding routine, the electricity was cut off so after having a cup of tea, I, narose dai and my brother praches played badminton till 8:30 AM. So by then we were totally exhausted. So we stopped playing and started doing funny talks. We started to talk about our life.. we started supporting our lives as a life of a 'rahis' i.e. of a wealthy person, but dont believe it it was just funny way to pass time.
On the course of discussions we started to remember our past experience of going to dolalghat, nama buddha, lakuri bhyanjhang and so on.. and my brother praches abruptly tossed the idea to go to kulekhani and have fish rice.He substantiated the plan by saying that he would bear all the expenses except petrol cost. So we agreed to go on.
SO, narose dai, praches, prashila(my elder sister) and I headed to kulekhani at about 10:21 AM. Narose dai and praches were on narose dai's Enticer bika and Me and pashila were on my Super Splender. We reached farping at about 11:20. We had some breakfast there and got the information from there that kulekhani was only 20-24 KM from farping and it took about 1 hrs to reach there.
By listening about the time we guessed that the road must be bad. So we headed to kulekhani. For the first 2 kms the road was pitched and we were too happy about the road but after that 2 km we landed on a gravel road. The road was too dusty. Narose dai was ahead of our bike and the dust aroused by his bike filled us with dust. This thing made me jealous and we started racing that who would go ahead because the one lying at the back was going to get covered in dust. So we started racing on those jerking road... we overtook all other bikes on our way..
At last we reached kulekhani at about 1:00 pm. The army asked not to take any photographs. At that time we were exhausted and so we looked around for some hotel to have some food. So in search of hotel we passed across kulekhani about 10-15 km and we reached the place called deurali. There was a hotel in which all the tata sumos used to feed their passengers. we also got the information that those tata sumo headed from kathmandu to hetauda or upto birgunj.
We had there fish, chicken meat, mutton, tea, rice. The food was exceptional, one of the best food i have ever had in the road way hotels. The people of the hotel also treated well. While having a talk there narose dai tossed the idea to go to night show in guna cinema and watch dostana. By then it was 2:00 pm and i objected that we couldnot get back kathmandu in the time such as to get the tickets for the movie. And narose dai asked me that just to follow him while returning back to kathmandu he would get us back in time. So we had the food and headed back at about 2:30 PM.
We headed back the route to farping. During the first half till Kulekhani from deurali which was pitched road i was leading him but as after kulekhani the road was gravel, narose dai headed like he was taking part in some bike racing. I followed his traces and trying never to loose him in sight.
We had a competition, so sometimes i overtook him and he would get angry and drive his bike in a furious way and lead me. So we were having the competition on that 20 km gravel road. The road was too bad that while driving the bike we were flying in air. The best part was that it was not a rainy season. Had it been rainy season then that road would be a dangerous one for bikes.
During the last period of the gravel road i overtook narose dai and never let him win me. As a reaction he drove his bike in such a furious way that it was to see. There were some stone knoll laid down to build the road and he drove from those knoll in such a way like he was taking part in some moto gp race, he and praches were flying in air.
At last we reached farping and i was first to reach farping, it was about 4:26. So we headed back to kathmandu and narose dai went to get the tickets for the movie. At about 5:00 pm he called us at home and said that he got the tickets and reach the theater by 5:30.
I was so exhausted that i didnt feel like riding the bike, My shoulders and neck was paining, I didnt wanted to get on the bike. Regardless of those things, i and my elder sister prashila went to cinema hall and watched the movie. Before the movie we all had the feeling that if the movie was bad then we all were going to get asleep inside the hall. But thanks god the first half was comedy and we didnt get asleep.
we returned back to home at 8:30 PM. When we reached home the electricity was cut off because of loadshedding so we started remembering the moments of the day. We were again making some funny kinds of talks like what we had done if we had met some accident, if someone got injured, if the bike got punctured, if nothing had happened to any one but the bike had falled from top of the hill and so on. As we talked for some time the electricity came by and we started preparing for sleeping.
Now at the end of the day while remembering this day, i get the feeling that this is one of the most memorable and unforgettable saturday of my life. We workedout an adhoc plan and executed it. I feel like we did a great job. I remember this day as my one of the best thrilling biking experience one.
