Child 👶 in Adult 🧑

The child inside me stepped out at the sight of the new bicycle 🚲

Though known for childish approach to life, this time the childish joy was for real!

Picture here portrays me striding a Stryder bicycle 🚲 from the TaTa's stable gifted to me by my dear children!

Named as 'Street Fire'🔥, this beauty on wheels did kindled the fire at my heart to long for one!

As I felt the bicycle 🚲 my mind set the clock back by half a century to unwind the scene at my parental home 🏡 during my teenage times!

I saw all the placards that I had hung all over the home as a protest and demand from my dad 👨 to buy me a bicycle 🚲

This novel way of pleading for a bicycle worked and soon I was the proud owner of a Raleigh bicycle 🚲

Me and Raleigh covered miles over the years and that buddy never let me down even during crucial hours!

In between these 50 years, I would have rode, driven many a different machines but the satisfaction of placing my feet on the pedal again is none comparable!

Unlike the placards demand with my dad to buy me a bicycle, this time just a heartfelt wish for a Stryder was at once addressed by my children!

O my God, the truth hit me hard that the 50 years hasn't improved my financial ability to buy a bicycle but to wish for one!

But the child in me wasn't bothered about this fact, rather rejoiced at the sight of the street fit Street Fire 🔥

As I sat on the seat and held the handle bars of my Stryder, I resolved to forget the past and live joyfully in the present to relish the moments before I breath my last!

Me and my current buddy, the Stryder have miles to cover which the bicycle acknowledged with a melodious hum as I pedalled the first mile!

We don't need to own a space ship 🚀 to find the joy of life since a simple bicycle 🚲 as a gift from our children can bring out the child in us to find the joy of life 😀
