Finally...

After almost four months of contemplation, research, plain old search, and a small bout with Malaria, I, on the ninth day of October 2008, brought my first wheels ever.
Now let me get it straight, I have had wheels, my three-wheeler as a kid, my BSA champ, which took me places during the years of uncertainty between being a baby and a teen and of course my BSA mach and Hercules MTB which saw me through my crazy high-school days, before I switched to the less physically demanding motorised version of two-wheelers.
My scooter - LML Vespa, and then my Bullet Machismo. But all of em, brought by my dad's money. That makes this one special. My first wheels. I brought it, big deal right.
Change of plans though...
I didn't buy a Firefox as planned. I went for an LA-Sovereign (Wave) and by God she is sexy. My first trip was memorable too. From Saidapet to my office at Nandanam. A short trip, but I decided to get myself lost in the lanes near Saidapet, simply exploring. Did that for an hour till it was time to get to my office.
Finally I felt freedom for the first time in Chennai. The freedom to move, to explore, to see what this city is all about, a city struggling between different identities, or is it just a myth.
I plan to get lost here.... Let's see what comes out of it...
