Biking to Mr Aurangzeb's city - Part1

Somebody has rightly said "Four wheels move just the body while two wheels move the soul!!". Similar sort of experience is what I got when I visited aurangabad on Unicorn on 5th and 6th of June.

Most of the trips are fun when they are absolutely unplanned. You just decide just in a split of seconds, surf through the internet for a couple of minutes to know the route and then the whole world is yours, just ride until the road takes you to the destination.

The best thing about biking is that you are a free bird with no barriers besides the traffic rules you need to follow. It brings in you the excitement, the pleasure of simply riding along the road enjoying the wind, sun and the fragrance. I read a quote recently saying you do the best communication when you are on the bike alone. That is absolutely true. You communicate to the fellow driver the fear of a danger you expect, you warn him with signals, you give a stern look asking him to come by quickly or also you signal to him with a sweet expression if you come across by a sweet girl along the road.

I pinged Deepak (another bike enthusiast) on Friday Morning whether we should try and explore a place this weekend. We had a lot of places in mind like Nashik, Bhandardara, Satara, Sinhgad etc etc. Finally surfing through the internet we zeroed down to Mr. Aurangzeb's city Aurangabad and get a feel of the powerful Mughals who ruled most of India. I have always believed that though Mughals are considered for most of the wrong things that happened to India, they also should be given the credit for the most flourishing culture and art they have provided us.

So we left the same evening and decided to stay at Ahmednagar and take over the route to Aurangabad the following morning so that we do not end up travelling a lot on a single day. The road from Pune to Aurangabad is a National Highway and i thanked the road ways for the first time in my life for constructing such an convenient highway. Otherwise the road ways are always thanked for the wrong things. We reached ahmednagar at around 9:30 and slept soon after a days work and 2 hours of riding. So in short no exciting experiences during the first part of the game and the most exciting things besides some mighty bitter experiences were to follow which we were unaware of until this time.

Read on in the next part the best learning experience we had on this trip. The next part of the blog to follow soon.
