Motorcycle Riding; Interest or Compulsion?

-
Talking about my first ride, I still remember when my elder brother used to deny me riding a motorcycle as I was scared enough to handle it properly. I was in 9th grade, young and quite loath to have a sit in the motorcycle, switch on it, and accelerate the throttle. Later, when I passed one more year and was confident enough my elder brother and my dad taught me the initial steps of bike riding. Those first riding, unprecedented falls, elderly rebukes and finally gaining control of that machine is yet in my memories.



Last week, I accompanied by my friends jaunted towards Bhedetar located in Dhankuta District on our own motorbikes. Unfortunately, we did witness a horrible accident on the way. A humongous truck had hit a scooter; both rider and pillion rider were in a serious injury. The casualties were sent to hospitals in an ambulance.

In a way, we often see a biker weaving in and out of traffic at full throttle, blasting past cyclists, city safaris, and dodging pedestrians. They treat roads like a video game putting everyone nearby in danger for the sake of a quick journey or perhaps showing "heroism" in street. The passersby are unhinged. You can see it in the way they glare at such heroic motorbikes.


Most of the two-wheelers have faced an accident especially a collision with big bold tippers and trucks. The small roads, potholes in roads and enormous traffics might be the cause of many road accidents these days. You cannot deny the reckless tippers drivers, crazy bikers, and lack of strict traffic rules inside the country as well. Let's not blame the vehicle alone and instead focus on the person driving or riding it badly.

Nonetheless, if you've thought of learning to ride, don't be put off by the scaremongering as far as you obey traffic rules and make your speed limit in riding. It's cheaper, quicker and you barely get stuck in traffic. It's also easy to learn. The must riding gear you need is a helmet. It's better if you use gloves and boots on a long journey as well.

The only thing standing in your way is a healthy fear of accidents, which just means that you aren't crazy and alert on the roads.
HAPPY RIDING GUYS!

The downpour was tickling in the road with splashing sound from the vehicles. It was 10:00 early in the morning as all office workers were in a hurry for their office. Manish was also in a rush for his classes in an Expert Education consultancy. He hastily reached his classroom with all his attire drenched. Manish went by near the door and mumbled: "Can I come in, sir?" Deepak Sir glanced at him: " Come in. Have a sit." Everyone in the class stared at him in silence while a girl was giggling in the back. The tutor began his lecture. It was noon for a break. Sarika came abruptly towards Manish and teased him for being late in the class. He didn't give a gesture to her. Instead, they went for snacks. The weather was clearing perpetually. The downpour changed into a drizzle. The wind commenced blowing away all the coolness in an atmosphere. Anyone could see hills and mountains vividly in the sky. It was already 3:00 PM - Sarika asked Manish, "The weather is pl...

The Lockdown

I was sleeping until the sun rays from the window came to my eyes. The honk of the horn came from outside: "Who wants fruits? Who wants vegetables?" I was still yawning and rolling my eyelids just to figure out who was yelling at the roadway. My brother came in no time.  He uttered: "Do you have green leaves and onions?"  I was still clumsy while he went by me and took some veggies early in the morning.  It was the 25th day since the Lockdown began. The roads and streets were silent with minimal vehicles and passers-by. Anybody could listen to the sound of chirping birds in the road with few amounts of daily accessing food vehicles and medical traffics in the thoroughfare. The COVID-19 cases became pandemic in most countries in the world. The number of people with Corona cases was increasing day-by-day. Not only the small countries but also the strong countries were perpetually suffering from pandemic cases with no peculiar vaccines and medications. The news ...
