      Hmmm... I have anticipated what is going to happen to Pranay's bike.

      I am sure you will not think about shortcuts in your dream too.

      Tasty as hell? Quite a bit contradicting.

      All 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. E. Lawrence

        Pranay, Pranay wakeup from the dead and please answer his question. Are you pleased?

        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 feet , 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 again . But yes after the M La experience, no more shortcuts

                Thanks Praveen. That section of offroading cannot be captured in words or pictures, only me and Pranay know what kindda 'Hellish' fun it was.

                • 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..

                    Pics are superb, as usual!! Those pics have tempted me to venture into that part of the world but "Mera number kab aayega"!!

                      He had kept it as his facebook profile pic I am sure that is an indication of the appreciation

                      I did because I remember NBE1 said to me finally he took a good picture!

                      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)

                        Please don't get me started about ur hindi, we nearly got over quoted rates thanks to it
