As we reached Pune, our Japanese comrade was ready with all his gear to march forward with us. Our procession hit another roadblock, as we were leaving town to spread our message across some sleepy hamlets. We encountered some British machinery on our way, which surprisingly was also soaking in the festive atmosphere. Shortly after leaving the town behind, we came across some rough patches where the Germans shined, as they deployed their special weapon called ‘Quattro’ to dismiss anything which came in our way.
The convoy then proceeded towards the picturesque hills of ‘Tamhini’ from where we intended to come out behind the Amby Valley air-field. Our comrades, who had the capability to fly, were itching to get to take-off speeds. On our way we came across people who went numb, looking at our battle ready ‘Martian’, while some just felt overjoyed to witness German sheen in movement.
As we halted at a little rendezvous point, all of us took a moment to stop and appreciate the brilliance of our chariots against the backdrop of vistas, which cannot be found anywhere else, but only here, in a country we call India. The place was surrounded by cliffs which were peppered with clouds and probably had an atmosphere of its own.
As we started to find our way back to civilization, heavy mist engulfed us. However, clear in our minds to rise above it and with a strong resolute to enhance and make ourselves worthy of this great country, we marched forward.
As we found our way back into the city, we realised how freedom isn’t just a word. It is in the air we breathe, the things we do and the thoughts we imagine. Motoroids isn’t just a medium to keep you connected to your passion, we’d like if anybody reading this realises the true meaning of freedom, which is in being a better Indian, a better citizen, a better neighbour and a better you, and for the free revving species that we are today, take a bow to remember those who sacrificed their blood and bones, so we could save ours to contribute in building this nation.
