Cycling in US that too in and around
Connecticut State in US is dream come true. Before winter snow sets in, the
trees particularly their leaves takes its own toll and turns into different
colors and finally falls down. This season is best known as fall season and
tourists throng at all the places in and around Connecticut to take spectacular
view of falls.
Green is life & oxygen and hence,
green leaves represent life. While, leaves falling down are old and have completed
their life, people love and come to watch them for their varied colors. When we
apply this analogy to life, we should see colors when we grow old and no one
should regret when we depart like colourful leaves falling down. In fact it is
salvation for the departed soul.
I really had wonderful time cycling in and
around Connecticut during this time when it is colourful everywhere and one can
see beauty with beds of colourful leaves falling down in many places.
I came to US in July 2016. Although I went
on cycling to many areas on many occasion during the last 4 months in US,
cycling in October 2016 in and around Rocky Hill area in Connecticut where I
was staying with my daughter was really memorable considering fall season as
mentioned above.
Few photographs and video shown below
brings out the beauty of cycling during this time.
I have been in US for the last 4 months.
Although I would have loved to cycle most part of my stay, I could not do that
as my son-in-law Deepak would go to office every day on his bicycle. It was
only once a week when he had to attend early morning meeting that he would go by car and
bicycle was available to me for use. Therefore, to keep myself fit, I had to
look at alternative and got into playing tennis in the evening. As part of my
daily routine of playing tennis, I made few friends like Mani, Nagendra, Satish, Mudassar, Pawan, Senthil & Oli with whom I would play in
the evening. All of them are young and I really felt young playing with them.

I wish to record here my close association
with Manimozhian Mathiyalagan (Mani) who was playing tennis with me for the last 4 months
almost every day. Both of us had wonderful and memorable time and playing
tennis particularly helped me in burning my calories and keeping my belly in
shape.
They were also kind enough to give a party before I leave US and all of us had great time together. Given below are photographs that I took
along with my tennis friends the day they gave a party.
