experience 1 :
a small boy aged around 7 comes back from school. he lives with his parents in a small town in south tamilnadu.
arun walks back home thinking about a bicycle his friend was riding the last evening. he was going to the temple with his father and saw his neighbor kid murugan learning ride the cycle. Arun's father noted the small boys yearn for the cycle.
when arun reached and to his joy found a new bicycle for him.
his father seeing his son's desire had fulfilled the same.
experience 2:
The chubby girl, aarthi, from city rides back home in her school van and was waiting to reach home because she knew her grandfather could have got her the cycle she had requested.
she saw the cycle even from the corner of the street. and jumped from her van with so much happiness to try her hands on her cycle.
when she reached her home, she went joyously to her dad to announce her new cycle. Inturn he gave the cycle to the girls cousin who is of the same age.
Aarthi who was just 9 then had her first heartbreak and since then has not touched any cycle.
experience 1 - sometime in 1988
experience 2 - sometime in 1990

i guess this dreamy thing abt a bicycle is so special to a kid cos thats the closest a kid comes to flying!

hmm..If I were Aarthi..I would have bought a cycle when I get to earn money and ride it with pride and happiness in front of the heart breaker..Abstinence will not help heart breaks.:)
