Kannur (Kerala): A journey from Kerala to Kashmir by bicycle might sound queer for those who hear it, however, two youths from Kerala have set out for the valley by bicycle.
The two of them started their cycle journeys individually from different points in Kerala, met up coincidentally and now continue their journey together to the same destination. The days and kilometres to cover are not a matter for the duo as they have embarked on the journey to India closely.
Challenges cannot be hurdles before our desires say Sreejith from Pattambi in Palakkad district and Jibin George from Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala.
Sreejith started off his bicycle journey from his home town on Tuesday. Jibin had set out a week ago from Thiruvananthapuram. Both the cyclers met at Kozhikode coincidentally. After getting to know each other, they decided to cycle their way to the valleys of Kashmir together. The duo intends to closely know and study different places and people of India.
Ask them about the days they would take or the kilometres to cover, both of them would say in one voice that there is no point in the cycle journey if they can’t enjoy the ride and move at their own pace. They have no plans on when they would return or how many kilometres they would cover in one day.
What they know for sure is that the journey would go on seeing and experiencing the people and places all through the way. After reaching Kashmir, the duo will head towards North-East India and return to Kerala via Odissa and Andhra Pradesh, thus covering most parts of India.
