Bike or car

 The first cycle I had was not girlish. It was a brand new cycle. Unlike what my brother's had. They had big boring cycle. And I don't think they were new. But I got a red flashy bold bike. The tyres were very very thick. So it made it lil harder. More friction?

Then I moved on to a small scooty.  It was small, handy and quick. Loved the air on my face. Zipped up and down instead of the cycle. I don't remember wearing a helmet. Then at my brother's recommendations we got the access 125. Big, bulky and swift. 

Looking back, can't believe it's been 8 years with my access 125. Dependable and trustworthy. Still love it. It seems to have a mind of its own and drag me into the wind. 

Well, it must have been 2002 when I got my 2 wheeler license. And how my mom.insosted and pestered and forced me to get a 4 wheeler license  as well. We never owned a car then. And the driving classes were early mornings. But at my mom's insistence I did take it. I only remember driving a 8. Car I don't think I did.

My other memory of driving tests was in Houston.. where I failed repeatedly. I drove Judy's car. And I don't remember who else. But it was hard. The parallel parking and all.

Back in 2007 my mom's repeated trip to cmc on rental car made us think of getting a new car. And so Getzie was born. October 2027. Handsome and cute Getzie was swift and tough. I have few memories of riding it. Once with mom and getting stuck in the middle of the road. Lol. But it was my bro who rode for few years in Getzie. When clari was born and I realised taking a new born in bike isn't that good, I thought of trying out our old car. Still remember Praveen giving me  crash course on reverse. Getzie had lot of bruises in her body, thanks to my adventurous driving. God saved me from  many a fatal accidents.  And in 2025 , the faithful getzie had to be let go. 

In Jan 2025, we got Exty. It was God's grace., and still is. As I look back, I can't thank god enough for how he held me under his wings. And also how my mom's determination has helped me all these years to not worry of how or what. Road very to God.
