              I guess the guys know how to post. It is really uncomfortable to see your instructions on every thread as if people are kids here.

                Is that really an instruction?Maybe it is(Obviously others can judge your sentence in a better way).But I have requested these guys.

                And what other thread I have given instruction?Yes I'm trying to implement the copyright thingy but that's for the betterment of everyone in xBhp.

                  It surely is an instruction. And it's not only me who feels it. End of discussion.

                          Waiting here...
                          Those people who tell you not to take chances
                          They are all missing on what life is about
                          You only live once so take hold of the chance
                          Don't end up like others the same song and dance

                              Some mundane details of journey till NJP
                              12,13,14,15th sept 2008
                              Caught up train till Kolkata on night of 12th.Howrah mail.Me gopi and anup were alloted lower middle and upper berth.We had booked non ac sleeper keeping option open that we might have to load bikes in same train.non Ac meant lesser bribes was the thought.
                              However to our horror we found out that what was meant to be a side berths are now converted into three berth.How the fck do they expect 3 people to travel in place that can hardely accomandate 2.Anup who was our 'mandwali/jhol/setting guy' tried to arrange for AC seat in vain.Our journey begin with a bad start and we somehow spent 36 hours in real painful conditions.

                              Reached kolkota and took a cab to sealdah.Stayed in cheap hotel close to station.



                              went out to took our first tram ride



                              later went to a local joint(cant recollect the name) for a drink



                              Got tipsy and anup and razor went ahead and had more till everyone was stoned


                              Caught darjeeling mail on sunday night



                              Woke up to a beautiful sunrise caught from moving train




                              As train reached siliguri we could smell the much awaited mountains and butterflies were fluttering in our stomach.



                              Collected our bikes from GATI and later met jithu and sparsh who had already arrived at NJP.Stayed in a hotel at siliguri where Jithu was put up for some time.Sparshs bike which was coming by train from delhi had overshot NJP and reached Gawhati and was available only on monday noon.We decided to ride to Gangtok the next day.

                              Coming up: Destination Gangtok
