Today was not just another "Sunday", it was a "Wow" (Women on Wheels) Sunday. On the eve of International Women Day, Hyderabad Bicycling Club organized a ride to encourage women into cycling and inculcate this activity in their healthier lifestyle.
As rightly said by Susan B. Anthony, US women's rights activist - “The bicycle has done more for the emancipation of women than anything else in the world”. The world is slowly seeing a chink of hope in cycling era to see women not just participating but competing.
It took me an eternity but I cajoled my best friend "Hardeep" to partake in this event. First time of everything is exciting, so was this. I wanted this to be enthralling for her as this was her first official event participation. I had the same thoughts running through my mind as if it was going to be my first ride. As I pulled her into cycling, it was my job to get her out of her perpetual darkness of skipping these events for more than a year.

This is the event which I believe have added another dimension to my friendship with Hardeep. I became cognizant of the fact that speed and distance covered on such events don't matter much but what did matter is the profundity of our friendship.
Thanks, Ravi. This is a wonderful post and is written very well! This ride was a memorable experience for me and I am happy that you captured it so well. Thanks for all your support during the ride. You were the supermarket for me - call out for something to eat and you had it ready for me :) Thanks a lot.
