Biwi (aur bike) ho to aisi! - Article

Indraneil Sengupta must consider himself lucky.

He not only has a pretty wife who loves him loads, but she also got him a Suzuki Hayabusa for his birthday! Yes, Barkha Bisht decided to make her hubby's first birthday after their marriage a special one and got him this bike. "I wanted to surprise Neil! He's very fond of bikes and has been checking some of them out for the past few months. So I decided to get it for him," she says.

But how did Barkha, who admits that she doesn't exactly have much knowledge about bikes, decide to get him this particular model? "I had no clue," she laughs, "So I started asking Neil a few questions about bikes and then I took a peek at his contacts in his mobile phone where he had some agents' numbers. I got in touch with one of them and settled for this bike," she adds.

The bike had to be delivered all the way from Singapore, so Neil had to wait a while before he saw the bike. "We were shooting when I got to know that it has been delivered to our house. We returned home really late and then I asked him to remove the cover from the bike. He couldn't believe it! He thought it must be somebody else's in the building and that I was kidding when I told him it's his birthday gift!" she smiles at the memory. Indraneil of course, is thrilled at getting this fabulous gift from his biwi. "It's a really great bike," he says. So is he happy about his great bike or his great biwi? "Well, the bike happened because of the biwi!" he laughs.

But now this presents a problem for him. Well, Barkha's birthday is in December and the hubby has the added pressure of getting her something equally fabulous! "I can tell you, there's solid pressure!" Indraneil continues with a smile. But there's still time for that. Till then, it's va-va-vroom time for this cool couple!
