When I heard word
"Dream born"
an one day Tushar K. asks me humorously to join their Mumbai to ladakh tour on motorcycle this year & I am surprised???
Why he is going again there on motorcycle???
an odd office day I have not much work and I am just surfing on internet. Suddenly I saw Tushar k. Ladakh ride photos on FB & what I totally blew up, now I come to know why he is going again and again there.
Now Tsunami of questions in my brain
where it is??
How many days??
How many Km??
How to go??
Why Motorcycle??
& many more, just flood of questions because of curiosity
Then I just google'd the Ladakh & found hundreds of motorcycle riding blog on ladakh.
From then daily I am spending lots of time on reading about ladakh. I just hunger for info of ladakh And one day gratefully I stuck with Rachit kohli blog Mumbai2Leh
As I am beginning of my career I am not financial strong to do everything swiftly. as per my calculation I want more than 1.5 lakh (Moto 80k, accessories 20k, tour 40k )to conquer this tour Which is more than my per annum that time. So I started saving funds for ladakh & motorcycle.
Planning & itinerary is not big problem as per now
but my main problem is "Motorcycle"
Why ??
So first I want to change my perspective against motorcycle remove fear of Motorcycle from my mind. for that I started to feel the motorcycle, know the motorcycle, frequently I try to ride my friends motorcycle. and slowly-slowly I rid it out
& for that I want to change my parents perspective over motorcycle which is same as mine
my parents are totally against to buy a motorcycle.
Motorcycle = Accident &
Motorcycle Accident = Death
By the grace of God the entire thing are going fair to me. I manage to convince my parent and book a Honda cb Unicorn up to end of 2012
"Sick"
For practicing I am riding on weekends some short rides about 100-150km & done one week long ride of my village in May its totally fantastic I gain nice experience. I cant imagine how god change my perspective & take me to this lovely way of enjoying, Thanks god.
now my preparation is on full swing,
suddenly one day I found some infection on my right thigh & it was increasing day by day. went to our family physician, he saw & his expression was not good, my parent got panicked .he refer us to a surgeon & warn us to show the surgeon as early as possible. then we took appointment of surgeon he examine & said it is a cyst, we want to do a small operation over it to remove because its not vanish over medicine & if we suspect any thing over there then we send it for cancer test, normally 90% of them are noncancerous & 10% of them are first symptom of cancer he elaborate us. Then he prescribe some medicine to reduce swelling & gave 2 days later operation date. Also told us if we want to took second opinion or want to do operation in other hospital then decide in two days & confirm me. We took second opinion & found same suggestion from Dr. so without wasting time we decided to do operation.
Finally day arrive, I admitted before 2 hours of operation. its took only ten minutes to operation, got 8 stitches. Dr inform my parents that not any serious infection found & no need to send it for cancer test. My parents are calm now. he gave me 10 days of bed rest, I took 13 day bed rest because of my hectic daily commuting by local train.
all-in-all my precious one month went. August ending was now my preparation is half-way, no train booking yet & many things remaining. Now I am not prepare physically & mentally to commit this huge trip.
so finally "call off"
no other way than postpone to "Next year"
Responsibility
"Ride can happen any time but this occasion can't come again"
I have no backup for my ride so again fresh start for saving fund.
again "Next year"
& finally come 2015
because of last tow years of stumbling. no excitement of ladakh like previous, still year started.
Now that dream was horrifying me every night.
Second week started
now its a long wait till September is unbearable for me. now time to take decision now or never. After 2 week june will start, I have fund, have some leave slot in hand so I want to took decision in a week. Because of trying from past 2 years my maximum preparations was over only onside preparation is remaining like motorcycle servicing, spears, medicine etc. my mind was telling me still if I wait again for September then I will went to hell.
Now my main problem is how to leave from home without giving parents any clue.
Third week started
I have started final preparations. on 17th of may I have done motorcycle servicing in honda service center & bought all necessary spears which I required. In this whole week I beside all other things like personal kit, Medicines, cloths & list out all thing & declare home that I am leaving on 30th of may. Because of sudden madness I am not able to do train booking & took a big decision to do home to home run solo. "Solo" because at this one week short notice mad like a me can join this & my ever ready buddy my brother is now in wedding shackles.
Vs
[ REALITY ] "Dreaming is easy but what really happens its matter"
Even I am not able to conquer "Khardung La"
My family is most emotional family in world including me.
My dad not talk with me about a month
But I am satisfied that I commit, not rely on situation
May be god have some better plan ahead
