It takes 6 Gears and 621 kilometres

Riding is Therapy...
I started riding 3 years ago when I bought my first bike, I've grown as a rider and as a human in the 30000 odd kilometers I've been on the tarmac. As a noob even I thought riding was therapy, when ever I was angry i'd pick my bike up and drown the noises in my head in the wind blast at speeds greater than 150 and it never worked. The fear of Death was never enough to scare away the demons in the head.
It took 621 kilometres and 533 minutes of silence on the saddle to figure out the fact riding alone is never therapeutic. Riding was meant to be a mode of finding peace, it was a mode of enjoying that peace and finding your self in that silence.
Being alone with your thoughts locked inside a helmet for kilometers at a stretch, you talk to your self, you argue with your self, and as time progresses and the kilometers tick by, you stop giving a fuck...
Issues ? Problems ? As long as there is petrol in my monster, nothing on this planet can hamper my peace. You may not find peace when you start your bike, but trust me at one threshold you will and that is the entire point. We don't ride for the view, or the bragging right, we ride to find the point where the world becomes noise and all that matters is the heart that is beating in unison with the engine.

HEINEKEN v/s KingFisher Ultra

Image
Two similar beers brewed at the same plant by United Breweries and sold as almost the same price with a mean of 140 per pint ( Rate List in Punjab ). There is a grapewine in the beer scene that it is possible that Ultra is just rebatched Heineken. It is easy believing the claim as the beers are indeed similar and the fact that Heineken practically calls the shots in the United Breweries with a 43 % share hold. Considering how I am not the regular beer reviewer and I am not at the level ( yet ) to break down the brewing process of both the beers, I'm going to try and put the rumor mills to the rest with a simple analysis that almost all of us beer chuggers can use. Step one : The layer of froth and Carbonation Pour both the beers into a similar glasses, I would recommend an standard Pint Glass for easier pouring. Heineken has a slightly higher number of bubbles rising and the Head ( Froth ) is stronger ( read visibly larger ). Step two : color difference , we coul

Its been a month since the last time a good beer travelled north of Delhi, deep into the heart of Punjab. With the supreme court tightening the noose around the supply of Alcohol, aapna thekka Chandigarh is rendered useless. We Punjabi's are stuck with an old stock of super strong beer and we take on the Thunderbolt tonight Super bloodystrong beer, 8.25 % alcohol volume, a very bitter after taste. Made with every possible ingredient that can be fermented. It has Wheat It has Barley It has Rice It has some More Wheat It can have some Potato too It most definitely has Hops and a lot of them Paagi Thekka kithe : Thunderbolt has taken over the city, if you ask for beer in Amritsar you are going to get Thunderbolt only 5 points Chuggabilty : If you love your larynx please drink it slow.

CARLING Premium Strong

Image
My Thekka or the Liquor Store I buy my stock from called up About a New batch with Carling and Haywards etc had come in, and I would no longer have to make do with the Thunderbolt. So we picked up our Helmet and Rode down to the thekka in the middle of a wet evening with occasional thunder to get our beer fix. The ride in the rain was worth it, the BEER... Bleh Not at all... CARLING BRITAINS NUMBER ONE BEER, I did not say that it is written on the bloody Label. Generic Beer at best and too bloody expensive for absolutely no reason. C.B.S.E style point system Color : Buttery Yellow with a Shimmy Finish, just like every other super strong beer on sale in Punjab. Alcohol Level : 5.25 to 8.25 % Legs on the side of the glass look neat and are decent. Carbonation : I liked the Carbonation, for a bottle that had a few hours in the Refrigerator to settle down to its ground state, even before the first sip there was a good thick layer of Foam on top of the bottle.
