I started biking after some 18 years.
Thoroughly out of breath, huffing and puffing, my muscles screaming, I could
barely bike a few miles. It did not help that I could not figure out the gears,
and there were like seven of them.
I recently watched Piku, where they showed the 70-year old Amitabh Bachchan suddenly biking to Shyam Bazar and Dalhousie and God knows where one fine morning . That day, he biked like 12-15 miles?
Given that Bollywood references are a central point in my life, I told a friend how unfit I am, wondering how the old man did it.
Me: "I don't know how he did it."
My friend (impassive expression): 'Remember, he died the next day in his sleep."
Such thoughtful friends I have!
