Popularly known as Sunil “Jee”, this man was bitten by touring bug in his early school days and to give him company on his “long trips” was his first set of 2-wheels, an Atlas cycle. However, this hobby/passion was buried somewhere deep underneath the office files and the mundane aspects of the everyday life until he discovered xBhp. Spending hours reading the several travelogues by x-men ignited that spark that culminated into a pre-trip meet with some x-men, followed by a trip to Uttranchal, which gave way to a ride to snow-laden peaks of Himalayas, and ultimately the mecca of bike tourers, a Leh trip on his 50,000 km old Pulsar; all this just in the span of a few months. Numerous single-day rides in between these ‘big’ ones were always there. XBhp had converted this shy, small-town boy into an avid tourer; a life was changed, forever. Till now, his 75,000 km old Pulsar 150 has seen him through 9 different states of India.
A desire to capture those beautiful moments led him to try his hands in photography, which ultimately became instrumental in his inclusion into the GIR core riders.
Working as Quality Analyst in medical transcription industry, this man aspires to be a visual effects artist some day. Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, Elastic Reality, Adobe After Effects (novice) are some other tools in his armament.
His mantra for life is - There is Life Beyond 9 to 5.
