MH12–1041…….Actually a Bike

Yes, MH12 – Pune. We can say it proudly (reason still unknown). We own (doesn’t matter who had bought it or whom RC belongs) a bike. Yes bike, this time it’s bike TVS Apache (hope still Apache is considered as a bike) and that is also with MH12 passing is like “cherry on the top”. After 7618 this is the second biggest star in our galaxy. He can’t match the sacrifice and efforts made for us by 7618, as you can’t compare the performance and role played by opener and finisher in cricket the team, similarly way you can’t compare these two. Both have their special place and role in our lives. One cannot replace another.

7618-1041 was the Dravid-Laxman’s pair for us, whenever we are in trouble (in terms of travelling, roaming, partying, movie), this pair was always ready to rescue. Sometimes I thought of the NDRF concept born from this pair only. Laxman was 110% reliable against Australia, the same way 1041 was 200% reliable during the weekend parties. From Friday night 8PM to Monday morning 9AM, 1041 would reaching anywhere for late night (4am, early morning is the best suitable word) food or the other important needful things and was always winning the battle by bringing it, on time extra quantity.

You bought a ticket for 9.30 movie show, you need minimum 30 minute drive to reach the theatre and you are still at home at 9.10 , “don’t worry, 1041 hai na”. 1041 will make sure you will not miss the Vicco vajradanti advertisement also.

1041 was powerful, muscular, dashing hunk. He was lucky in himself, because just after “Gruhpravesh” his initial 3-4 riders joined the software companies by going out of the league (Nobody was Rancho, still they are searching for their passion and talent. Till the time they find their passion and talent, riders happily accepted the job offer in the software industry and now thinking why they have wasted 4 years in Mechanical, but once Mechanical engg is always A Mechnical engg) and second lucky thing is a girl used to occupy backseat of 1041 (lift/pick up and drop service for office). Whatever may be the reason finally the goal achieved and curse ended. 1041 was is will always be the first love, doesn’t matter how many girls grab the back seat.

1041 bornt with a personality always believing in a thrilling lifestyle. Speeding up on Mumbai-Bangalore highway reaching up to 140 kmph (Few years back it was an expressway , bypassing Pimpri-Chinchwad and Pune city).Leaving from the chinchwad home for breakfast and reaching Mahabaleshwar non stop without penny in rider’s pocket, but 1041 had never broke the trust. Always accompanied in this thrills enthusiastically without asking for food whole day (after returning back somebody told, he had filled the fuel tank previous night).

1041 always used to be a part of excitement. 1041 was very specific about the things. For Mangos he would reach Marketyard directly (from any corner of the PMC-PCMC), after “Aamras” he was very specific about chapati also and used to reach other corner of the city to get the best quality (keeping other guys hungry and waiting). But 1041 was stubborn in nature, to save 500 bucks he would waste petrol worth 1000.

1041 was an extrovert kind of guy, was feeling safe in a social environment. He was habitual of arranging the get together on every weekend with for very small reasons. Once in a month he used to cook Khichdi for at least 18-20 people and personally he will make sure everybody is available, if somebody is not able to reach on time he would not think for a second and would go for pick up with co-passenger (they had to ride triple seat for return but it was fine for 1041). He would always forced people to stay back and convert a flat (HK) to Dharamshala to occupy 18-20 people in hall for night. 1041 was staying outside with happy smiling headlight.

1041 is “Navasach Bal (vow’s child)”, and had to face many struggles to live. As soon as he entered to the family, owner lost his job (recession 2008-09, memories are not always sweet. But one thing is sure these are lessons to be learnt) and it was difficult to pay loan EMI. But all sadness was changed to enormous amount of energy and enthusiasm, to find a new job, just looking at 1041’s smiling face to keep 1041 with us happy and healthy.

After the friends got busy in their professional life and it was difficult to find the free time to spend together, 1041 who was reaching everyone and meeting personally to keep the group alive. 1041 was always there to help anyone in trouble, reminding us “For you with you always”. 

(The characters, places , events are real,with many things being intentionally skipped. If you find any relevance with your life, you are the part of this or you also had a partner in crime like 1041 so be happy and enjoy)

Bonus content

One thing that can not be missed here, the co passenger here was also the same man always. Both bikes have special soft corner for him, both were so caring for him to keep fresh and healthy, to keep away from fatigue, they never asked to ride one of them (still waiting to learn geared 2W to ride). He was always seated on the backseat (except when special pick up and drop for office was arranged).
