An overcast sky, open roads, and petrichor permeating the whole atmosphere: a perfect setting for a mid-week monsoon ride through the countryside. So how could we resist? Off we went on the Benelli 600i, the Bhatghar dam, near Bhor, being our destination

“Bhor, bhor, bhor bhai, ek udta pancchi” — ‘Bhor’ By Indian Ocean
Legendary Indian fusion rock band Indian Ocean’s iconic ‘Bhor’ may start off with a bird spreading its wings and taking flight at first light, but I think it’s a metaphor. A metaphor signifying the freedom to fly across the tarmac, with the wind in your face, the sun on your back, the open road ever-winding in front of you.
I woke up at the crack of dawn, geared up and ready to hit the road. A push of the start-button, and the engine came to life with a roar, loud enough to incite the dogs in the vicinity to bark their heads off. After a brief ‘drag race’ with the dogs I was on the main road, heading towards the outskirts of the city.
