1.5 Months of Cycling.."Staying Healthy"


For past 1.5 months I am cycling to office daily, it gives me a sense of joy while cycling. The reason why I started cycling is mainly to get some physical fitness and stay healthy. Being a software engineer it’s tough for me to put a concrete schedule for physical exercise, so thought of alternative plan. 2 months back i planned for a cycling trip to turahalli forest alone, asked Mahesh one of my peer to lend his bicycle for a weekend he agreed and got his bicycle but I am able to trip due to some injury…Till now the bicycle is with me and I am using it, my bicycle from hometown is on the way. 


 These days in Bangalore I see so many chaps cycling and happy to see that, atleast 1% of air pollution is getting reduced and in future I am sure that there will be so many bicycles in streets... “Time to burn fat”. Few weeks back when I was reading times of India e paper, there were statements and it sounds very much true and thus increased my awareness about my surroundings. 


  • If humans control the pollution now, earth will live extra 2 billion years.
  • Due to Global warming, India and china will war in 2050 for water (Himalaya’s glaciers). 
My wife and parents used to say always, don’t cycle in hot weather... In reply I say, Bangalore used to be a trip place a decade back due to its awesome weather but now it’s became too hot due to people like me (Software engineers).. And it’s the time to bring back Bangalore to its original (Not 100% atleast 20 to 30%).. A small step makes huge difference... By cycling  


  • You’ll get to the destination faster.
  • Burning the fat not the fuel --You can get fit without trying too hard.
  • Save the planet from carbon Emissions.
  • You’ll make more money -- Petrol is a rich man fuel these day
  • Avoid pollution.
  • Relaxing and stress buster after office work.
  • Beat illness and Being happy.  
  • Mainly "No bribe to Police Man".. (No Emission test needed, No Vehicle tax)
And Mainly Before you start cycling  , Make sure
  •  You wear helmet , Even we ride safe there are some people who drive like idots.
  •  To avoid dehydration , have a bottle of Butter milk , Lemon juice , water.
  •  Avoid listening to music while driving.

Travel Light - Pack Smart

I tend to stuff more in the luggage back while going to hometown, traveling for a casual trip or business trip to other country. At the end I end up in wasting too much of energy in carrying the luggage where most of the stuffs will not used in the trip. So I started to explore the ways to optimize the luggage space and the stuff needs to go in to the luggage back which avoids burden. Wherever I read for alternate options it’s said “Travel light”. By traveling light, we end in carrying stuff which really needed for the trip and saving the fuel of the vehicle too… “What if someone puts a heavy load on your back and ask you to carry , U waste huge amount of energy , need energy drinks to replenish the body strength (Water , energy drinks) ..Same applies for vehicle, putting too much weight in car decreases the fuel efficiency and end in filling too much of petrol which takes too much of money from your pocket. For instance, If everyone traveling onsite “Travel Light”, more fuel w
