A very good pic. I am sure Pranay would be all praise for you.Originally posted by prafultripathy View Post
Hmmm... I have anticipated what is going to happen to Pranay's bike.Originally posted by prafultripathy View Post...After much struggling it started, this time while descending I rode behind him just in case his bike gave up again, but luckily for us that episode did not repeat itself for the next 24 hours.
I am sure you will not think about shortcuts in your dream too.Originally posted by prafultripathy View PostWhat followed from here was the toughest offroading I've ever done in my life. The steep gradient combined with the loose mud and gravel made descending down this extremely tricky. The only way to go down in a controlled manner was to take this slow and steady and move inch by inch.
Tasty as hell? Quite a bit contradicting.Originally posted by prafultripathy View PostDinner was served to us cooked at the host's home and even though it was just the standard fare of rice daal roti and sabzi it was tasty as hell.
It can't get better than this! Wow!Originally posted by prafultripathy View PostAll men dream, but not equally. Those that dream at night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act upon their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. - T.

Pranay, Pranay wakeup from the dead and please answer his question. Are you pleased?Originally posted by kirosh_03 View PostA very good pic. I am sure Pranay would be all praise for you.
Btw, Veda claims to have clicked this pic. I don't remember, but I don't think I'm ready to give him the benefit of the doubt
Actually nothing happened to his bike, its the battery that developed AMS beyond 14000 feetOriginally posted by kirosh_03 View PostHmmm... I have anticipated what is going to happen to Pranay's bike.
, more on that later.
I actually left out a small part in the log, right after this mega PITA shortcut we took a smallish shortcut againOriginally posted by kirosh_03 View PostI am sure you will not think about shortcuts in your dream too.
. But yes after the M La experience, no more shortcuts 
Hmmm....no commentOriginally posted by kirosh_03 View PostTasty as hell? Quite a bit contradicting.

Thanks dude, and thanks for taking out time to read the log tooOriginally posted by kirosh_03 View PostIt can't get better than this! Wow!

Hehe i guess so. The way to get the hint of incline by pix is to capture in angle where the height difference between the wheels are visible. Best would be to take it from the side with cam in level with horizon and also some horizon and/or some trees framed in as well..

He had kept it as his facebook profile pic I am sure that is an indication of the appreciationOriginally posted by kirosh_03 View PostA very good pic. I am sure Pranay would be all praise for you.
I did because I remember NBE1 said to me finally he took a good picture!Originally posted by prafultripathy View PostBtw, Veda claims to have clicked this pic. I don't remember, but I don't think I'm ready to give him the benefit of the doubt

BTW, the maggie at K-Top was fulling and it was quite cheap compared to the food prices around the leh region.
It was fun talking to those soldiers not just from Karnataka but from other regions as well, there was this guy from Andhra and one from TN. I was overjoyed with that 15 minutes finally someone to talk to native language after a week of only english and hindi
(no jokes about my spoken hindi please)
