I Have Seen Myself On Road

Posted by Rajasundharam at June 17, 2015

Daily I use to reach the office by cycle. I have seen many people who see me when I am riding they may be in car, bus, motorcycle, etc. Some people may waive their hand and say “hi”, it became usual for me now a day, in the same way, I met a stranger and he must be a student who came for his relation home to spend his vacation. When I am crossing him daily, he keeps shouting like “hey Rock Rider” “hey rock rider” even sometimes he runs behind me. This continued for five days. Next day when I am crossing him he did the same. I felt very bad. So, I stopped him and asked what happen? Why you are doing this every day? He replied I like gear cycle shall I go for a ride. I asked him you know how to ride the cycle? He said. Yes, I know even I have one normal cycle. Then I said. Ok fine and started explaining the gear. He said. Yes, I know. I was waiting in the same place he came from the other side of the road. His face was very bright and he was very happy too. Happy? Yes anna thanks, he replied. When I think of that boy I felt very bad myself because I have been in the same situation in my childhood. When I was in my 5^th STD one guy called chinnaiya who lived next to my house. He owned a bicycle and a splendour bike. He is actually an MBBS student at that time. I like his cycle. Hand bar is the speciality; whenever he is riding I use to say “ta anna” sometimes use to run behind him simply without reason. Many times he stopped me and asks what? but I won’t ask anything simply run back to home but inside me, I keep saying anna give me a ride but I never asked him. I don’t have guts to ask but still, the hand bar and the glittering strikers in the cycle were in my mind. After a few years, I bought a new cycle but not the same model which chinnaiya owned. For me, that cycle was like a dream I don’t want to own it. When I think of this boy I felt bad because he had the guts to ask a ride with the unknown person but I couldn’t ask. Even if I would ask him he may or may not give that also I don’t know but this boy brought my memory back and pointed out that I missed a precious moment in my life. life always give you some simple happiness, if u miss to experience it then that will make hard feeling throughout your life.

I tried to find the picture of the old cycle but I am not able to find.
