The sun is radiating its whole energy towards the earth. It was a very hot day and our clothes were drenched with full of sweats. My eyes became red hot and my buddy too experienced the same. And now, we were looking almost like a drunker. By then we have reached a petrol bunk which was on the way, my buddy has asked for a 2T Shell Oil and paid to fill up the full tank. I was really confused at that moment, and demanded the reason for his activity. By the time he gave me a reply, I was totally stunned hearing his words, that the mad guy was very eager to move Nagercoil by this bike.
Actually the bike we were riding was an unconditioned one, it was bought by him as a second-hand bike. It can’t even cross a speed of 70kmph. As the trip was not a pre-planned one, we don’t have any sun glasses, helmets etc. Another great tragedy was, we have missed the way to tambaram and so around 1 hour was wasted in finding the right path. Finally we reached Tambaram by 3.35pm. By the time we reached there, the odometer was showing a change of 25kms from the point we started. Which shows that we have so far reached only 25kms in our journey. But still we have to go 675kms to reach our objective. My mind started thinking about it, as we were already tired of the scorching heat.
Then we decided our next check point as Tindivanam which is 98kms away from Tambaram. Our horrible eyes were searching for name board showing as ‘Tindivanam’. In the mean time I was trying to overtake a bus, a terrific Tata sumo suddenly overtook us at the same time. I didn’t expected it, and was just a miss from hitting the bus and finally we managed to escape. I was totally scared at that moment and my heart rate rose to its maximum. I had lost all my confidence and then handed the bike to my buddy. But my buddy was very energetic in riding. Within the next 10kms we had another shocking experience. The wheel bolt unscrewed, and the axle of the wheel almost came out. Again we escaped another tragedy. Since it was a Sunday we couldn’t find any mechanic shop nearby, so we started tighting the screw by ourselves and then moved with the bike by walk. Then finally we reached an mechanic shop and spent 2hrs there. And then moved to Tindivanam and reached by 7pm. And the odometer was showing that u have ridden just 123kms…But still we have to go 577kms.
We set our next set point as Tiruchy. Its 202kms far away from here. The road was under construction and we found very difficult to ride. Finally we reached Tiruchy by 12pm. As the time was 12pm we were feeling very hungry, so we preferred a hotel but I couldn’t eat even a single piece of food.

After refreshing ourselves, we departed from there around 5’o clock. Then my mind was set free and from there I started riding continuously towards Tirunelveli. Around 7.30 pm we reached Tirunelveli. Seeing a mirror in a shop we felt ourselves ugly and our eyes were turned blood red. There is no white spot in our eyes. We were totally exhausted. That was really a sad moment. Then we bought sunglasses to hide our eyes from dust particles. We have took some photos from there wearing sunglasses and then we left that place and continued our trip.

from Tirunelveli.
Then
Finally we reached Nagercoil by 9.15am.
It was a nice experience for both of us. It was an unforgettable trip, as we have came through lots of hardships throughout our journey.
