At Ejipura signal, waiting for the green light, maroon 5 on my earphone, suddenly an activa honking me. Who the hell is honking when m waiting on a signal? I turn backside while the activa moves ahead. It's parallel to me now. A shinny white activa with a girl on it. We stare at each other. Signal goes green n I zoom ahead. 0-70 and I win. I decelerate to 50. The activa zooms ahead. The girl giving me a sarcastic look to make me feel low. That she's the winner. Few meters ahead, the traffic cop made her to stop. It's the interceptor. Over speed madam. I went passed her, she gazed towards me, I smiled at her to make her realize that I was not dumb to decelerate in a free road on a Saturday afternoon.

It was midnight, I was passing by familiar lanes, many things have changed and many still remains. The same old chaiwala selling hot tea and buns. It was crowded on an otherwise empty street. The barking street dogs trying to catch me as I sped my ride across them. As if it were the same old days. Suddenly I felt my bike to be lighter. I applied the brakes and turned back.

Were you on my bike for a moment again?
