+
+You’ll see him in corners of the website.  
+Tucked into reviews. Peeking out from stories.  
+Gliding through traffic. Waiting at a dhaba.  
+A robe flapping. A fixie humming. A pair of round glasses catching the light.
+
+**His name is Shunya.**
+
+---
+
+Shunya isn’t a reviewer.  
+He isn’t a salesman.  
+He isn’t even real — but he’s very much alive.
+
+He’s the spirit of Gearlama.  
+Curious. Quiet. Completely obsessed with the little things that make big rides better.
+
+---
+
+When we find gear that just works — not in a lab, but on bad roads, late nights, steep climbs —  
+you’ll probably see Shunya riding alongside it.
+
+He doesn’t overthink.  
+He doesn’t scroll.  
+He rides. Listens. Waits.
+
+Sometimes, all he leaves behind is one note:
+
+> *“This one stays.”*
+
+---
+
+You’ll find him where the journey meets simplicity.  
+Where form follows function.  
+Where a yellow fixie can outpace a city full of scooters, just by showing up with soul.
+
+---
+
+So no, Shunya isn’t just a mascot.  
+He’s a reminder.
+
+That even in a noisy world, there’s still space for calm rides, good gear, and stories worth telling.
+
+And this is where his story begins.
