I am from Kolkata, West Bengal. I love traveling, riding a motorcycle, and capture moments. It was always my childhood dream to explore my country, my Incredible India. A country where you will find all kinds of terrains, weather, various kind of languages, people, technology and many more. Yes, in one country. So before I get a chance to visit outside my country, why not explore my own?
PLAN, it never actually works with me. Why am I saying this? Well, the plan was starting my journey early morning. But I was far away from it. Yesterday was full of mishaps and continue until today. Starting from losing my purse and lock myself outside my flat and everything left inside. Pretty funny, isn’t it? Anyway, still, I manage to start at around 11 o’clock in the morning. First-day distance 480 kilometers approx, from Kolkata to Bhubaneswar. Expect 45 minutes of food break, I didn’t stop in my first journey till Balasore, Orissa. Took a halt in front of Birla Tyres factory gate. Why? Well, they are one of the clients in the company I worked in. And everyone in India knows about Birla Group. They, of course, don’t know about me, but I know about the work I do for them ;-)… Big companies…
The road was awesome and the clouds gave me a very good company throughout my journey. Sometimes, black clouds came and tried to scare me but then my accelerator hit the top speed and crossed the road before it stops my way. It was really fun.
Around 7:30 pm I reached Bhubaneswar. Near Saheed Nagar I had a couch member to host me for two nights named Mamta Sarangi. She was very welcoming as well as her family. I have been offered simple regular Orissa style family food which includes, Roti, Dalma, and Fried Sabji. Though she is vegetarian, still she made an arrangement for a chicken dish. It was tasty as well with some health benefits (it contained zero oil). We talked a lot over dinner. They were very excited to know about me and my travel plan. They were concerned as well for me is the solo girl riding on a motorcycle. I asked about my destination which was still a question mark to me itself.
After finishing my dinner I returned to my private room, arrange my things took shower and gone for good. It was needed actually after such a long ride. See you tomorrow.
