finally started cycling agian

I finally bought a firefox cosmic 6 gear bike hoping that I can spend some free time in the evening going around and at the same time enhance my fitness. Well... it has been almost 3 months since i bought and i am completely convinced that i made the right decision to buy this for 8.5K, all my friends including my cousin asked me not to spend this much to buy a cycle as i would not use it once the initial excitement is gone.. But i have actually found biking more and more addicting as i get used to it .twice a weak i ride a 26kms circuit (koramangala > sarjapur road > marathalli > domlur > koramangala). It approximately takes 90 mins to cover this distance. The road between marathalli and domlur is the most difficult strech as the road is mostly uphill.

My bike has a 6 gear shimano rotary shifter, and dual suspension. The dual suspension is pretty effective and i guess i has saved me from the usual backache.

Thinking back... during our lower classes we used to cycle to school and back home along with my friends Jeyakrishna AKA JK and my junior friend Anand. During rainy seasons, the path (cant be called as road) which would have pretty big pits filled with muddy water and we used to ride right into it falling into the water several times and be sure to use that as an excuse for not doing home work the other day as all the note books would be completely wet :).
Initially thought of using my cycle to go to office, but as it would be almost 10am when i start from home, it would be pretty hot and i might need to take bath after reaching office due to sweat. Hoping to start early to office so that i can use my cycle.. will keep posted

Hello Blog

Right from school we are used to start learning a new computer language by writing a "HelloWorld" program... on similar lines i'm filling my first blog with title "Hello Blog World" :)

I read first about blogs some 9 years ago in "The Hindu" daily news paper (pardon me if blogs were not there before 9 years, I might be wrong), I could not get the purpose of it at that time.. so it was uninteresting for me. but lately I have been reading a lots of blogs (mostly when i googled for some info) and wanted to join the blogging community. I hope it helps myself to look behind and see what i have been doing/thinking.

I should agree that one of my friend karthikeyan (http://ramchel.blogspot.com/) who blogs frequently is also the reason behind my newly found interest in blogging. He is from kovilpatti near madurai of tamil nadu. kovilpatti means temple village (kovil=temple, patti=Village).
