nocturnal walk

I found the stretch of road from domlur to koramangla on the intermediate ring road a wonderful stretch for a night walk.
Time : Anytime beyond 11.30..
Reason: Dont know the real reason.. Could say that open stretches on both sides gives you real cool breeze..
But more appropiate would be what a dear friend of mine used to say. We are thrilled even more when there is an apparent danger. "Maut yahan pe sau ke raftar se tumhare pas se gujarti hei..", he used to say. The settings were not very different. We used to go out for a walk on the Palm beach road (Washi to belapur... off mumbai). Usually after a 12hr day the only excercise we could offer to ourselves was this walk that used to start around 10.30 to 11 and used to stretch upto 1.00 at times. This strech is a four lane highway with the creek on one side and new buildings comming up on the other and I learnt that people came off from nearby areas in mumbai just to enjoy the drive and some times to race out each other.

May be that's it.. Or may be such highways are actually the best places for night walks... There is light.. there are people around...and more importantly no one cares abt u.... So you are free to feel as much a part of the civilization around or repay their indifference in kind or simply enjoy yourself tossing around some absurd thought as you let your body do some racing with your mind...
