Hi Friends, thanks for the support that you have provided to me in the previous blogs. I am back with another interesting episode that happened in my personal life. I dont know, how many of you have some emotional bonding with vehicles, so this story is related to the emotional bonding that I had with a cycle.

Yes, It was an ordinary cycle for most of them, but it was an integral part of my life in all the 2 years I spent in my PG. I studied PG in a very reputed college, It is built on a very huge land and I got a chance to stay in college hostel. Our college is a green campus and we are not allowed to use motor vehicles, only staffs and people working in the institution are allowed to use.

But, we were allowed to use cycle, but the cycle has to be our own and institution doesn't have the common cycles that can be used by everyone. So, I decided to buy bicycles. There was an exhibition in the college, where new cycles were present, but the minimum starting range was 3000. I was not able to afford that much, so I decided to buy a second hand cycle, it cost 1200 after bargaining, thanks to my friend who recommended me to buy it.

I was very happy to buy it. The image displayed is the cycle I bought. It was very easy for me to ride. I was able to control it very well. I was able to take doubles as well as triples, such was the ability of the cycle. It was very easy to maintain. Our Department was a bit far from the hostel. It will take atleast 30 mins to reach our hostel from department, if we needed to walk. Similarly, whenever I am late and need to reach department on time, this cycle had helped me a lot.

But, after 2 years we need to leave the cycle and go, since the transportation cost of cycle was more than the  amount spent on cycle. I thought of leaving the cycle at hostel. People were ready to take my cycle for 600, since it becomes third hand. But, I dont want to sell it for money. I gave it to a poor guy for free. He cannot afford to buy the cycle. Because, I had a faith in him, that he will take good care of it. 

Since, he knows the value of that cycle. That my emotional bonding to that cycle came to an end.
