Halloween, celebrated on 31st October of every year, is among the oldest traditions in the world as it touches on an essential element of the human condition: the relationship between the living and the dead. The observance evolved from ancient rituals marking the transition from summer to winter, thereby associating it with transformation. Halloween’s a good way to have fun scaring ourselves. Even just a little bit, as the nights get longer and the days get colder.
Whilst talking about transformation, cycling in a lot of ways can help us transform and also offer a wealth of benefits. Cycling is fun to dash down the road or enjoy managing the bike on the forest trails. But what you can’t see, is the beneficial process that already got underway deep in your body. You become more confident, and your self-esteem grows. Focusing on the road or your cadence when cycling can help you develop concentration and awareness of the present moment. This may help take your focus away from the mental chatter of your day, which at times stands much needed in life.
So, this Halloween pack your bags, get on your cycles and ride down to some of the most haunted places in India. Make it your turn to scare the monsters away and explore!
