The new Bird in my life

Today on 21^st Dec 2010, I have introduced somebody in my life. It is my new Royal Enfield Thunderbird. I had been waiting for this moment for 5 long months. I spent an impatient day in office fretting that the time was not passing quickly enough. At the last the long awaited call from the dealer came confirming that I can come for the delivery. The wait finally got over on this cold evening and I found myself in front of this gleaming monster of a bike. No amount of drooling over other Thunderbird bikes had prepared me for the ownership of one. It was love at first sight. The moment I pressed the starter button, the machine roared to life and I knew that I was hooked for life. With my love(my wife) astride on the bike with me, I felt on the top of the world..ready to rule the streets.

It has been a really long time since I have written on my page. Partly due to work load and party due to sheer laziness after the work load reduced. Things are not helped by the fact that I have taken to writing a diary. It is not a diary in the purest sense that I note down what happens in day. It is rather a continuation of the urge that drove me to write a blog on the items that I desired. But today as I sit in the office early in the morning attending a call that I need not attend, I have this overwhelming itch to put some words onto my blog instead of the diary that I habitually carry around. To be fair unlike other times, I don’t have any particular topics to talk about or some discussion close to my heart. Today I just want to type few sentences and then watch them reflect on my page. My page has been static for nearly 15 months now. I feel sad and sometimes, if I allow myself, a little guilty. Perhaps putting down few lines today is a way to assuage that feeling. So here goes my first post of the year and most probably the last. Though I will try very hard not to make it the last.
