THE BICYCLE THAT MEAN EVERYTHING FOR ME
As a child, I had always enjoyed cycling along the roads in rajgangpur, rajgangpur is an industrial town situaated in sundargarh dist.of odisha .....
I’ve been fascinated with
bicycles since the age whn i was in school 7th grade. I come from a smallfamily children and
my parents could not afford to buy bicycles becose of very low salary.but myparents bought for me by adjusting gross income , I had the
privilege to sit and ride on the bicycle. Every time I rode, I would be
overwhelmed by a strange, but exhilarating feeling of “freedom”. It was as if I
was being transported to another world, away from the cares of this world.
As a child, the feeling was indescribable. I was happy.While most kids my age wanted a big birthday party, all I wanted was a bicycle to call my own.Some boys in my neighbourhood stole the wheels and left me with nothing but the frame! To make things worse, each time I fixed on a new pair of wheels, they would soon go missing. So I decided one day to deal with head on i confront my problems with the boys. Although a full head shorter, I stood facing them and exclaimed, “Since you’ve been taking my wheels so often,why don’t you take the bike frame as well?” they got shocked after hearing
They were very surprised
by my challenge, and soon they realised my great pains that of repeatedly losing my
wheels. They express regret for something bad that was done by them, I forgave them, and we soon became friends..we became so close that we named our group...the group named as 'KHATRON KA KHILADI'
While cycling, I would chase fireflies with my some friends. Once we had caught to our hearts’ content, we would place them in a bottle and shake them excitedly. Like magic, the fireflies would start to light up – brilliantly, and magnificently. It was sheer deli8 to all of us!
I only realised later in life that the thrill of chasing fireflies and watching them glow was actually a universal, communal activity enjoyed by the young all over the world.here in rajgangpur town began to urbanise to meet the increasing housing and development neeeds... As a result, opportunities to chase fireflies became increasingly rare. Thankfully, efforts are underway to create beautiful parks and park connectors to connect new and existing park... rajgangpurians young and old can now cycle while enjoying the rich, green spaces surrounding them – the natural ecosystems.
Once I met with a major accident.
I collided with bike while playing cycle race with my group,physical damageto the body caused by violence ..i took 2weeks rest...after gettig well i joined with them..Its important to take some time once in awhile to reflect on the beauty and joy of cycling.
and there was a time when my mood off i took my cycle for long ride....
Few days ago i sold my bicycle now i'am missing my best buddy.....
