The kid in the van.

Today morning I received a big compliment. There were no words involved and there was no conversation. I was amazed to realize how such a gesture can liven up your whole day. I was driving on my bike to office, negotiating Bangalore's reckless traffic and cursing my luck at being stuck in it. That's when I saw a van in front of me and a small boy leaning out of the window. He took one look at my bike and I saw a big smile on his face. In fact, he got so excited, that he pointed it out to all his friends in the van. I am not sure what they liked in my bike, but their excitement was worth watching. When they van took a turn and I had to go ahead, the little fella was literally hanging out of the window, craning his neck to get a last look. That is when I realized, I was not driving any ordinary bike - I was on a cruiser. This might be the sincerest feedback ever provided about the Avenger. Hat's off to Bajaj, for coming up with such a gem of a cruiser.

I could not forget this incident the whole day long. In between my bouts of work, the kid's face would pop up in my mind and it would be like an instant dose of happiness. Thank you buddy, for making my day.
