My alarm rang at 4:55am, I don't know when I stopped and sleep again. Suddenly I woke up at
5:25am, I thought to sleep again but today I want to ride as I did not ride last weekend also due to my daughter's health issues. I got fresh and became ready with all essentials at 5:50am. I thought I should drop my plan as I was late and day will become hotter at the time of return.

Select citywalk mall is around 23km away from my house (Gurgaon) and It will take nearly 1 and half hour to reach there by seeing this I require 3 hours for up and down and at least 30 mins for my friend. By seeing this I thought to drop the plan because day will become hotter after 9am.

| With Friend @ Mall |
I started my ride, this time air was pleasant and sun was not cursing. I was enjoying my ride after a long week break. I started to ride on my full speed to reach Select citywalk at around 7:00am so that return will not be painful. I wanted to stop for a drink break but I stopped at Qutub Minar only so that I can call also to my friend. I called him, I had a thought that he must be sleeping but I became surprise that he picked up my phone just after few rings and he was doing jogging.
After reaching at IIT, I went towards Malviya Nagar from there I had no idea about the mall, so I asked to a auto rickshaw and he guided me about my destination. Mall was not very far, within 10 mins I was at mall. I called to friend that where he is? He told me to meet at the gate of mall and he will be there in next 5 mins.
He reached there on time, we were meeting after around 2 years. First time we meet in Pune. He meet me in my last to last company. He was posted for regional team and I was member of Head office team. Time passed and we both changed our company. Last time he came Gurgaon to meet me.
We spend some good time together, remembered some old memories. He took my cycle for a small ride. Took some pics and then I became ready to go home, then he remember that he know some historic place in Malviaya Nagar. He told that It will not take more than 10 mins to reach there and really that place was not far.
