Rain & Long Drive

An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered.

This time I dared for adventure in different way. Though it was inconvenient and unconventional way but necessity made it happen. Visiting new places, fast driving of car, riding bike for long distances, etc these are some of the ways of my adventure. But this time I made a history of driving car in rains for 9 hours continuously. The wiper was not stopped until we reached destination. There were many wonderful & thrilling moments I experienced in this journey.

Me & my wife planned the journey to Jalna on weekend but we don’t know that the journey would be so adventurous. On Friday night, rains showed up their presence. Mom & Dad were bit tensed with our plan. I assured them that I may drop the plan if it is raining heavily in the morning. Early morning we realized that the intensity of rain was slowing down, so we started our journey at 6.45 AM.



Wow.. light showers, lush green surrounding, drizzly roads, what else you require in journey? When we started, wiper was on first level. The speed of showers varied with the areas. It had gone to third level at one time when we were in Karanja.



Only thing frightening me was that of flooded rivers. What will happen if it flooded over the bridge? Or something which causes delay in our journey. And it happened !! Just before Mehkar, due to storm a huge tree fell down on the road and the traffic was blocked. We spent 45 minutes in traffic jam. :(



Finally we reached our destination safely. This was the most memorable trip we ever had. :-)
