Have you ever heard about the great Honda River? I think very few of you who have faced challenges to cross this river. I am also one of them. This is a unique river that mainly exists in rainy days. In other days you cannot even think the existence of this river. This is the only river which in the center of a high-tech city. Now you guys will be thinking that where this great river is situated?
This great river is situated in the millennium city Gurgaon. Have you ever gone to Honda chowk in rainy season? If you have gone then you were really enjoyed the scenic view of this river. Some people (like me) were suffering a lot who were going there daily to earn their bread and butter. I was going there by three-wheelers (the most popular and only public conveyance in Gurgaon) and the three-wheeler stand was at one shore of the river and my destination was at another shore. Now challenge begins… to cross the river. But thank god to rikshawalas waiting for passengers along with their rikshas (In this context “boats”). Those days the earnings of these rikshawalas had been increased multiple times in compare to other days. They helped us to cross the river and we were reaching our company safely. Once I thought that it is very costly to cross the river, so I decided to come by my own bike. When I was crossing the river then suddenly a car moving (in fact crossing the river) in front of me applied break which triggered me also to apply a sudden break. I had to put my feet in the water… oh shit… my jeans was soaked in water till my knees. Then whole day I was thinking that it was better to come from the three-wheeler.
There are lots more interesting stories around this Honda River that can’t be told in a single sitting. But now if someone tells me that our job is not challenging then I use to tell him one of these stories. Since I changed my job and relocated from Gurgaon, I have only the memories of it. I can never forget about this river. Interesting and unforgettable moments.
