A 1300 kms adventure : 1. Bengaluru to Malwan (670 kms)

"Hello", my mom answered to my call. I replied "Hello Mom, I am starting from Bangalore to Malwan today. Will stay there for 2 days with 2 of my friends & then come to Mumbai". My mom with joy, "Great, how are you coming? By train or bus". To which I replied "By train". Then I finished the call in hurry as I really can not lie to anybody, especially to my mom. No, don't get me wrong here. It's not like I don't lie, but people catch me easily. But this one went well. My mom believed me & I was happy as my purpose to surprise them will be served. :D
Unwillingly but inevitably it started with a lie. It had been 5 months now I had bought my new bike Hero Honda Karizma R (yellow) & I was desperate to show my possession to my parents. I had finished 700 Kms long road-trip on my bike before which had induced confidence in me to cover 1000 kms distance from Bangalore to Mumbai. I was in search of an opportunity & this Diwali gave it to me with 2 long weekends in a week.
