Varun and his Bike

We had been avoiding buying a bike and though Bittu had also asked for a bike we refused and he was satisfied with a Kinetic Honda.  Varun had started pestering us for a bike and I kept postponing it for I was very much afraid of the heavy traffic of Hyderabad  and felt that  an open vehicle was not safe. However there was no way that Varun would relent and he made our lives very miserable and finally we decided to get him a bike. We thought that a bike would be around forty to fifty thousand and this should be sufficient. However this was certainly not what Varun was looking for . He came out of the show rooms thrice and how much ever would be ask him to be reasonable there was no way. Finally he did get his bike but certainly not the one which he

wanted. He had some RL in mind which was costing more than a lakh but with great reluctance he agreed for splendor. Now this red colored bike  is his prized possession though there are two rules which he had promised to follow strictly. One he will never drive with out a helmet and second he will never take three people on his bike.  As of now he really loves the bike and is enjoying the freedom this is giving him He is also maintaining it and keeping it clean, though I am really not sure for how long he will continue this. he was initially a little upset that his bike remains standing in the sun through out the day, though we do have the shade of the mango tree and he was asking us if we could build a shelter with  a cover so that the bike is in shade.
