The Auspicious Start

Hello everyone!
Finally, the D-day dawned and we all had to set off for the much anticipated trip! But one of the things that wasn't expected by us was the really heart-warming send-off given to us by our friends in Dombivli. Since we were 3 of us who left from Dombivli, a bunch of our friends called us to the Jain temple, Suvidhinath Derasar so that they can all see us off together. First, we all said a little prayer together and then, they all cheerfully wished us our best.


Om Parmeshthi: A prayer specifically chanted for protection and success.
Good luck, aye! 
Auspicious send off at the Derasar
Finally, we lots of best wishes, the three of us set off from Dombivli. Similarly, the rest of us too set off from our respective places amidst much best wishes and good lucks. We reached Bandra Terminus at 7am and loaded the 1 bike which was left among the 6 bikes. All of us were super excited to click pictures with our special "The Bike Riders" T-Shirt and banner. 

The train started sharp at 7:55 am. We had some delicious lunch delivered to us at Surat and then, continued enjoying, joking and chatting. We had supper at Ratlam Junction (lovely Poha & Khasta Kachori.) Everybody is now simply waiting for that moment tomorrow when our bikes will be in our hands. Now, that would be the real bliss! ;)

That’s all for today. More soon! :)
