Mandarmani Trip on Bike 13-03-2011

It’s been a long time since I’m planning for a trip on my bike, but couldn’t make it so far. At last me and my elder brother like friend planned for a weekend trip to Mandarmani. It’s a virgin beach near to Digha which is a famous seashore tourist spot in West Bengal. And it’s around 200km away from my home town Kolkata.

On 13th March Sunday early morning around 6:00am we started and reached Kolaghat which is around 75km away from Kolkata through NH6. The NH6 is a fourlane freeway and the riding experience was awesome. Also the weather was spectacular, little fogy and cool. Sorry for lack of shots on the way, as my cam Nikon D5000 was heavy and it was quire difficult to take quick shots.














After taking a little rest and breakfast at the well known Sher-e-Panjab Dhaba we started again and change the highway. The next phase of the road was Haldia Highway AKA NH41 which was under construction and it was very uncomfortable for a ride on bike. Still after a lot of struggle we reached Nandakumar and leave the NH41 and headed towards Contai. The next part of road was kinda rural road which was horrible in few places but also quite awesome at few places. Smooth carved roads which made the ride perfect. Somehow we cover it and at Chawalkhola we headed towards Mandarmani and reached at our destination at around 1:00pm. As we had a Pre-booking Resort, so no other issue at all.

The evening was nothing more special, we were very tired but at the evening we were eager to drive on the beach. The Mandarmani beach is famous for driving, it’s a 15km wide beach and the sand is very intact which is perfect for riding. Throughout the evening we drove on the beach, even when the dark fall, upto around 8:00pm. Then we came back to our Resort and spend up to the night near the beach with our favorite Smirnoff Vodka and peaceful cool wind.


























Next day Monday morning we came out at the beach with our bikes and took awesome rides throughout the beach and had a lot of fun and enjoyment. The driving experience was quite different, it was like driving on the runway. And then we came back at noon, took our lunch and pack-up to leave.

We started to come back home after noon and very soon the dark fall. The night ride was more horrible and tough, we needed to take many breaks throughout the rural roads and NH41 which was more than 100km in total but after reaching Kolaghat NH6, the drive became awesome at night which I didn't expected. It was like playing road rash while we were cutting through the speeding trucks at 80kmph average speed. And in the end we reach home safely at night around 11:30pm.

Ultimately the experience was quite different. I drove long with cars and many time visited Digha by driving car all alone, but this was ultimate. The adventure we got in bike is incomparable with cars. The only problem was our backpack, as it was heavy it became pain for us very soon. Otherwise HH Hunk is so comfortable for touring that I felt same stress while I made the same journey by driving a car. Mandarmani is definitely a nice place but its quite expensive, Hotel and Resorts are cost around 1.5k to up to 5k and also the food is expensive.

I'm eager to take one more very soon.

It's Me..

I’m NOTHING, I’m EVERYTHING. I’m, what NOT I am, a trouble-free, low-maintenance human being. I’m someone between 112 crore Indians, sometime I lost in crowd and some time the crowd lost me. I’m here with you coz I didn’t get anywhere else a place for my head. I am SINGLE coz I’ve born single and I have to die SINGLE but one day I should be DOUBLE when I will find another singlehood inside me. I am happy coz I forget to feel bad. I fall every time and each time I learn something. I do whatever my mind prompts me, I reject whatever my mind fails to accept. I take what life gives me, coz life sometime don’t give us a second chance. My simplicity is my identity. However, sometime people forget that I also carry heart & feelings like them. Other than, I still NEVER MIND. I am not negative minded, neither am positive. I analyze every second I exist, beatin on my mind every second with my fists. Ultimately I'm a 21st century digital boy, I don't know how to live but I've got a lot of toys.

► Well.. what I tell you about me? It's difficult to say by myself. I'm belongs to a simple Bengali family. Basically I am a very simple person who loves music, passionate about driving and spending priceless times with friends. I'm a fun loving guy close to ground and full of hopes. I’m cleanliness freak and I'm very very emotional and a little bit shy. I hate over smarties, liars and flirts. And what's most important to me is to be honest in any relation. In a single word, I’m a Emotional Fool. I never ever found a word in dictionary, That is ' Impossible ', coz Impossible itself tells, " I’m possible ". Except ‘Impossible’ to forget some MOMENTS, ‘Impossible’ to forget some WORDS.. I always pray to god that every one in this world should be happy.... I don't believe in love at first sight, this is the most ridiculous thing I ever seen in my life. At last, I am friendly and want to make friends.

► I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard. Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact that everyone can see these scars. I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel. But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you to just believe this is real. I am, a little bit insecure, a little unconfident 'cause you don't understand I do what I can. Sometimes I don't make sense. I am, what you never wanna say, but I've never had a doubt It's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you for once just to hear me out. So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do You face away and pretend that I'm not But I'll be here cause you're all that I've got. I can't feel the way I did before. Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored. Time won't heal the damage anymore.
