SARASU - My Best Companion


          

    The days with her are the best part of my life. She is not my first one, she is my last and only one. She is my best travel partner. I am longing to hold her hand again to travel with her.

   Our first meeting was so unexpected. She was given as a surprise gift from my dad. I haven't chosen her, I think she did, she was not much different from others. One of the most common vehicles used by many girls. I have seen the same kind of model in my school cycle stand. Yes!!! Sarasu is my cycle. She is a pink ladybird cycle. I named her after my favorite 10th std Physics teacher. 
  
    My first trip with her to my School was so smooth, I felt like no one was on the road. I am the only one neatly dressed schoolgirl riding her cycle in her way. I am not a beginner to ride cycles, I used to go to school in the cycle from my 2nd std, but I feel excited. When I walked with the pink girl to my school cycle stand, I saw many aged pink ladybird cycle there. I thought this is how my Sarasu looks after a few years. I am not disappointed by it because I know appearances are deceptive. 


    At night time, street dogs will chase us, Sarasu is the one, will save me every time. I will just lift my leg in cycle or I will ride very fast to escape from it. To our surprise, we don't have any bad incidents, even minor accidents. 

   My first cycle race in her. I don't know why we had the thought to race the passerby. Whenever I go to school, If some vehicle overtake us, without giving them eye contact. We will overtake them, Some may not chase us. Some will, it will become like a race. My travel in Sarasu was never boring, Most of the time I will be drenched in sweat. I will be breathing heavily when I reach the cycle stand. It was a happy memorable days with chasing and racing. Whenever I bend my head to lock my cycle. My heart speaks in silence with her "Sarasu be safe, I will come soon...bye!"

   I have got some caring advice and requests from loved one's to go safe. I have listened to them at times. My morning travel goes by chasing, My night travel goes by admiring the beauty of Nature. Especially the moon which travels along with us. I have been filled with random thoughts, Sarasu will listen to my heart in silence. 

   Now Sarasu is seven years old. Whenever I ride someone's cycle. It reminds me only of her. Sarasu - My Best Companion, Thank you for giving more beautiful memories in life.

    I have written this on World Bicycle Day - June 3, Sarasu has been my world in my teen. 


Love U Sarasu

  1. I've too felt it re... some of our 'so-called-normal' possessions really become a huge part of us... And that too the ones we possess in our growing years... I've felt the same comrade like attachment with a pair of shoes that belonged to me! lol! (p.s: try watching 'Gautamante Ratham' when you are free;) Nice work!
