Aji Chako returned after his month long wedding vacation. He didn’t appear happy. So I decided to check with him.
Over a sutta break, he narrated his woes:
“What to do, seven days were wasted travelling from Delhi to my native, then wife’s village, and back to Delhi!”
“Wedding was good, I have video cassette also. I also got Yezdi bike from wife’s uncle. I am asking them to exchange with Enfield. I have told them, bike must be parceled to Delhi in two weeks. I will search new room and also bring wife after that.”
Ignorant on anything related to bikes, I did not understand his reason for being sad. Was Enfield better than Yezdi I thought.
Probed further and realized, Yezdi was not a bad bike, it’s just that Aji is six feet plus and when he drove this bike; his knees almost touched the handles. Maneuvering left and right was becoming risky, so he asked for the taller and lengthier Enfield.
In a month’s time, he picked up his parcel from ND Railway Station – blue colored Bajaj Chetak! I enquired about his Enfield from Trissur.
“Uncle bought the Yezdi from a showroom which sold only Bajaj scooters and Yezdi bikes!" I am glad he said this with a smile.
I hear he is in Gelf now. Wondering if he has parceled his Chetak there :-) or is it back in his native :-) :-)
