(076) What A Bike Means To Me!
While wandering through my friend’s timber-yard,
I wondered watching those huge Redwood trunks
Lying unnoticed with more than 200 inch girth…
They are from Amazon, my friend told.
Amazon River basin –
‘The lungs of the Earth’ –
And her rain forests will
Soon become extinct…
Then what will happen to my Kochi,
The queen of Arabian Sea?
Will she sink?
In Kochi, even beggars own bikes
I hate bikes, if I ride one
I will end up under a private bus
They are the most silent killers
Their drivers are most dreaded people!
Every healthy man breathes
12 kilograms of fresh air everyday,
My doctor tells.
Now imagine how much fresh air
Your bike consumes; for I just give
A simple equation:
Every bike is equal to 10000
Healthy men!
When the snow of Mt. Kilash
Melts complete,
That’s the end of mankind…
That day is not farthest…
When you are riding on full throttle
At least think of our future
In large scale!
every guy loves bike but you are different in thinking and has thoughts that are broad, that think about human and health... great work

Prem, The BIke was the most romantic vehicle to me The speed with which it transports - Body Mind and Soul, the wind in my face The tears streaking out of red eyes The machine which has a soul That blends with that of its rider Man and machine become one in a Bike I used to feel, to love before - Yes, My knee weakens on hearing its heartbeat You come again, Prem, ascientist In a starched white coat, you quantify You evaluvate, you show facts and figures And make us think again - Of More important things than just A ride on a Bike! Thanks for sharing your thoughts - so different, so provoking! Angel
Premji, Che was an avid biker, truth-seeker, and hitch-hiker in his youth (he died young too) . Glad to know you differ somewhere! Cheers. Subroto.
Dear, I appreciate your concern towards nature but the fight goes not between the pure Environmentalists and developmentalists. Whom do you belong? ? ? sandhya
