Day 29
10.11.2022 ( Thursday )
So today is going to be a little long day! Salem to Anantapur as I stayed in home instead of going to Hosur! So morning saw puppy and continued my trip. With that I started the trip and the road was great! Had a smooth ride but in between the road was not good near Andhra. Took it slow and steady. Once I reached Anantapur then I remembered that Kishore from Aakash class during my 12th leave was from Anantapur. So I ringed him and got to know that he is from Anantapur but not staying there! So I booked a room there as I was also invited to speak in the ZO world Spaces. It was a nice room and the space went great as well! Also got to know that Kishore is staying in Hyderabad so planning to stay in with him during my trip to Hyderabad.
Day 30
11.11.2022 ( Friday )
Left Anantapur early to Hyderabad! This is a 360Km ride! The ride started good and was good journey! So while going I saw a lot of Tiffin center's which I thought of tryin my breakfast. So I stopped at one. You can see in the first picture the small van, they converted into a tiffin center and provide food. I had two thosa and an omelette. It only costed 80 Rupees bang for the buck. I then travelled and also had some afternoon food in an restaurant and some tea. I started to take pictures of food as well, as I was not covering that before. So after having it continued my ride, which was great. Finally went to Kishore place and got settled for the day.
Day 31
12.11.2022 ( Saturday )
Great morning today! Got myself ready and was planning to leave my bike to service. So that during the event I can be in the event and once the event is finished I will be able to take back the bike. I was in the service center and was waiting for the mechanics to come. Amanda from the polygon marketing team reached out to me in twitter and asked when I will be the event. As they were planning to document my journey in the event. So I skipped the service and came to the event. Syed was super helpful and made sure the video is done good. Then had a blast there meeting a lot of Web3 people there. Great event. So then I went to the service center to give it for service! Told them that I can pick it up later tomorrow! They were one of the few of the service centers where they were working on Sunday. They told me that I can pick it up tomorrow afternoon.
Interesting observation is that in the metro station I was travelling the languages they used were Telegu, English and Arabic. It will be usually Hindi but here it was a little bit different. Also the buses in Hyderabad are like separated into two parts, front for the women and the back for the men. In Tamil Nadu there is no visible separation but more like in the left or right. Well had a great day! Have to take my bike tomorrow as it officially is completing around 10,000Km. :)
Day 32
13.11.2022 ( Sunday )
Had a good sleep! Woke up in the morning and went to the service center ! I was staying at Secunderabad and it is actually very far from Hyderabad. It almost took me around an hour to reach the service center by bus and metro train. So after visiting the service center, they charged me an extra 1400 which I didn't let go - 500 for wax and another 900 for fork adjustment. I didn't like it because they written it over in pen instead of printing it out. After several questions, they removed the bill. So left to home. It was totally a rest day because I will be leaving to Solapur. So we had shawarma in the night, a really good one.
Day 33
14.11.2022 ( Monday )
Started my travel from the morning! Had some Dosa which was totally different that what I usually have. A good ride, Stopped for some Sugarcane juice. Also when you can see people in white dress with white cap, you know you are in Maharashtra. Also finished 10,000Km mark in my bike. This ride was great as I was able to see a lot of amazing scenery. After checking in the hotel called Sanket whom I met in Couchsurfing. We went for a bite and had a little talk. I then went to his home and met his dad. I came back again to the room and took some rest. Planned to have dinner out with sanket. At night had dinner with Sanket, good food. He is a great guy, he did a hitchhiking trip which you can see in his Youtube channel which he did from Solapur. After that returned backed to the room to take some rest. The dormitory was actually good, I had a good sleep.
Day 34
15.11.2022 ( Tuesday)
The dorm was good, Took a nice bath and started my trip early to Aurangabad. To be honest the ride was great as the landscape in Maharashtra is amazing. Saw a fort surrounded by water bodies. It would have been dam hard to construct those things. Just loved those landscapes. So I Aurangabad and met Sharad outside of the college campus. He was very great and open. After we parked by bike in his room, we went for lunch in a mess. Then we roamed around his college and met his friends. Also meet Jeevan there. After that we returned to room for some rest. Then met his other friends as well in the room and we were talking a lot about journey and freelancing. We had dinner that day and had a good sleep.
Day 35
16.11.2022 ( Wednesday )
Checked out of the Dorm early! So that I can start my rid to Surat! So a funny thing happened was that Google maps showed me a different route. Then I entered an Expressway, which was empty. I was the only one who was doing it. I didn't know that in expressways there are only exits at certain points. Then I was able to exit at a small opening and then drove a little bit through a lot of villages so that I can connect the Google map route. It was a fun experience. The view was great and saw a lot of mountains to be honest. Also while driving it seems I kind of got on a Hill Station. The top place was not cool enough but the ride from the top to the bottom was great. Loved the ride. So I reached Surat and called Nitesh bro. He guided me to his home. His sister welcomed me and made me comfortable. After he came to home during the evening's we talked a bit and we roamed in his scooter till night. Also I was planning to leave to Nadiad the next day. So had a great sleep. Also wanted to mention that the first time I had Tea in a saucer in his home. :)
