Feeling the wind whistle past your helmet, the thrill of snaking through narrow lanes and twisty roads, zooming past trucks and cars...?
Some thrills of a two-wheeler can only be felt, not described. And when you combine a love for travel and a set of two wheels, the world is your oyster! But which cities can you explore on your favourite set of wheels? Read on to know!

1. South Mumbai, Mumbai

The never-ending expanse of sea, amazing Victorian architecture and open roads... South Mumbai is one of the best places within the city to explore on a two-wheeler. What's more, there are tons of eateries to stop by and hog at. Make sure you ride along Fort, and take in all the British architecture. Or if you're tired of riding, just stop your scooter by the sea, stop, breathe in the fresh sea air and take off again!

2. All of Goa

The scooter and bike capital of India. Seriously. If you visit Goa and travel any way other than by two-wheeler, then you don't deserve to be in Goa.

The tiny little lanes will enthrall you with the local seller wares, the crazy confusion of the city and its true colourful form.

[www.keralites.net] Story: The Costly Jaguar

 



 
 

 
A young and successful
executive was traveling down a neighborhood street,
going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar.. He was
watching for kids darting out from between parked
cars and slowed down when he thought he saw
something.

As his car passed, no children appeared.
Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door!
He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to
the spot where the brick had been thrown.
 
The angry
driver then jumped out of the
car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up
against a parked car shouting,

'What was that all about and who are you? Just what
the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that
brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why
did you do it?' The young boy was apologetic.
'Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't
know what else to do,' He pleaded. 'I threw the
brick because no one else would stop....' With tears
dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth
pointed to a spot just around a parked car.. 'It's my
brother, 'he said 'He rolled off the curb and fell
out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him
up.'
 
Now sobbing, the boy
asked the stunned executive, 'Would you please help
me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and
he's too heavy for me.'

Moved beyond words,
the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling
lump in his throat... He hurriedly lifted the
handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took
out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh
scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything
was going to be okay. 'Thank you and may God bless
you,' the grateful child told the stranger. Too
shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy!
push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk
toward their home..


It was a long, slow
walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very
noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair
the dented side door.

He kept the dent there to
remind him of this message: 'Don't go through life
so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to
get your attention!' God whispers in our souls and
speaks to our hearts Sometimes when we don't have
time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's
our choice to listen or
 
not.


God didn't promise
days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun
without rain, but He did promise strength for the
day, comfort for the tears, and light for the
way.

If God brings you to
it, He will bring you through
it.
