5 years ago, when I shifted to my village, I faced a lot of challenges. The major challenges involved transport issue. My village is in remote place which hardly any facility. There is a single public bus run by locals who carry people from village to town side every morning and then get them back later in evening. People having own vehicle does not go through such ordeal.
I faced much problem as, I was suppose to visit doctors for my ailing dad or to go to local market for groceries. My local market is 15km far away from my home. Also travelling to some other places takes much toll. Also very time consuming too as I needed to depend on other to Carter my transporting need. This is when I decided to own my own vehicle And I opted for a two wheeler which is within my budget.
Bikes or Scooty, economy purpose or for racing purpose after going through all these issues. I opted for a Honda Activa Scooty

This scooty accompany me for the last 4 years. 03 - Dec - 2018 I bought my scooty. The reason I opted for this is the extra space it has in front. It can be utilized to carry many stuffs, groceries, cylinders or even a small kid can stand there. When I decided to have a scooty everybody in my home asked me to reconsider my decision. As they wanted me to go for Motorcycle. Village have uneven roads and it makes it difficult for scooty to survive such rough ride.
But I was sure of my decision. And these 4 years passed by comfortably.

I even taken few long rides on my scooty. The longest being 135 Km in a day. That really made me fall in love with my motor vehicle. People always look to own something for their leisure or for show offs. But I have decided to go with something that really made my life easier and cater all the needs. My scooty so far fulfill everything. More importantly my daughter to learn to ride it. Afterll, a scooty is not considered to be a masculine stuffs. Anyhow it resolves all my purpose. I met with an accident too, but that does not made me to dislike it. Everyday it means a lot to me. The most helpful things I could ever imagined in life. Without it, Life in my village seems to be handicapped.
