We purchased this house almost 30 years back just because of the view of highway and my attraction towards automobiles. Through the years, i would watch a lot of cars and in recent decades; tonnes of bikers in this piece of road and secretly wish on long rides. With a 6 day work week, it is not the most practical option to go on rides in the weekend and it excited me to have weekday commutes of decent length. (That and me being an introvert, i rarely enjoy large groups and group rides). When you combine these with the bike that i own.

Gadkari says ethanol production at large scale will help improve farmers income ANI | Updated: Dec 20, 2020 04:06 IST
New Delhi [India], December 20 (ANI): Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Saturday said that ethanol production at a large scale will help improve farmers income.
He called upon the State of Karnataka to take up the production of ethanol in a big way, as it is one of the largest producers of sugarcane in the country. The country is already over-producing sugar and rice, and sufficient stock are available with the government. The surplus may be converted to Ethanol, which can be used as an alternative fuel for vehicles. This will not only improve farmers income but will also be an indigenous source of fuels for the country, he said.
