For a guy with my kinda background, buying a car was an experience. Thoroughly enjoyed it. But I did not know what really was in store for me. More or less learnt to drive in 3 days and was in heavy traffic on the 4th. However, it was the Pune - Mumbai expressway which really swept me off my feet. Really really really loved the experience. And am totally hooked on to driving. Have burnt gallons of gas driving around aimlessly. But for the high that it gives, it is totally worth it.
However, I was in for some more surprises. Happened to find time for an outing before I left Pune for work. And it was mind-blowing! There have not been too many things in the very recent past that have given that feeling. Somehow I even fail to find that focus which I used to while cooking. And all by chance, that day I found peace when the fiber cut through water with each steady stroke.
By the time I found momentum and a good balance, my joy knew no bounds. Felt just like the old days again. Nothing else existed at that particular time; only the diamond scull and I.
And while I drove back home, I blissfully realized. Driving - yes it IS awesome. But its nowhere close to the high that sculling gives me.
