What better way to turn 29 than cruising down East Coast Road around midnight at 100 kmph, with best buddies Bajaj and Abhishek.
Got to Mahabs a little past midnight to find all restaurants and eateries closed. Thankfully, the folks at Moonraker’s turned out to be good samaritans gave us a meal, opening their rooftop garden specially for us.
After some good conversation with buddies who called, my phone/battery died and we decided to head back Chennai around 2 in the morning, singing aloud, with the breeze greeting us from the front, the sea for company on one side and palm trees lit by moonlight on the other… Nothing like cruising down a smooth stretch of land and a rocking bike.
How can there be anything larger than life itself?
Thank you all for sharing it with me and making it ‘larger’.
I’m truly overwhelmed, you guys made my day. Especially when I did really need you… Like this morning.
Ai Saala
Abhi Abhi
Hua Yakeen
Ki Aag Hai
Dil Main Kahin
Hui Subah
Main Chal Gaya
Sooraj Ko Main
Nigal Gaya
Rooobaroooooooooooooooooo!!
Roshniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii… Hey!
Yes, I don’t know where I found courage for something I did later this morning.
But like the lines go in RDB: When you believe in something so strongly, when you’re heart is clear and your mind is without fear, you set out to do just that with new-found courage, knowing well that it’s the best thing to do, however difficult it may turn out to be. Doing that sets you free … liberates your soul!
(Anyone who remembers the exact Hindi lines, please send it to me!)
🙂 Thank you very much people, once again!

Deadlu song illa!!
aye saala
abhi abhi huaa yaqeen ki aag hai mujh mein kahi
hui subaah main chal gaya
suraj ko main nigal gaya
ruu-ba-ruu roshni heyy – 2
jo gumshuda-sa khwaab tha
voh mil gaya voh khil gaya
uulon hathaa pighal gaya
kichhaa kichhaa machal gaya
sitaar mein badal gaya
ruu-ba-ruu roshni heyy – 2
(dhuaan chhataa khula gagan mera
nayi dagar naya safar mera
jo ban sake tu hamsafar mera
nazar mila zara) – 2
aandhiyon se jaghad rahi hai lau meri
ab mashaalon si bhad rahi hai lau meri
naamo nishaan rahe na rahe
ye kaaravaan rahe na rahe
ujaale mein pee gaya
roshan huaa jee gaya
kyon sehte rahe
ruu-ba-ruu roshni heyy – 2
dhuaan chhataa khula gagan mera
nayi dagar naya safar mera
jo ban sake tu hamsafar mera
nazar mila zara
ruu-ba-ruu roshni heyy – 2
aye saala – 4

Hi Sudhish,
Belated birthday wishes! Hope you had a blast on your birthday! Have a terrific year ahead!
It was really nice to read your post “Twenty Nine!” The lines “When you believe in something so strongly …” touched a chord in me, ‘coz I’m going through a phase in my life now, where people think I’m taking a wrong decision but I’m sticking by my decision with conviction, simply ‘coz I believe in going by what my heart tells me to do and not what others say is right.
I do read your blog regularly and think it’s really good. I can relate to a lot of stuff that you write about. 🙂 Keep blogging! All the best for everything, whatever you choose to do!
Best Regards,
Aarthi
