    Thanks guys, and thanks to the judges for considering my entry prize worthy! I am so happy, can't express my feelings in words!

    The trip was the best ever in my life, from the moment I started planning it, while doing it, while blogging about it, and now it turns out to be the best even after a while by winning! Thanks all for wishes and support. All 3 of us, me, Nandinee and Vesta are thankful to all of you!

    @Old fox: Thanks for the kind words. The shoes are for me! Actually there is a small story for this. I was about to buy the same shoes in non-waterproof form before the Rajasthan ride, even though it was pinching my pocket. Somehow, the transaction didn't go through due to some error on the site. I decided then and there, that if at all I am to wear these shoes, I will win them in this competition! And today I am so glad to see it convert in reality!

    Animeher,

    Congratulations on being adjudged the top entry!
    Indeed it was very sensitively written piece - from the "chipak-li" to Nandinee urging to top 107 kmph again!

    The aside of your wanting to pick up our boots for the ride is truly encouraging - our honour and pleasure to be associated with guys like you and events like this!
    From your blog it would appear that Nandinee does not ride - if she does, we shall be happy to give her a complimentary pair too!

    Good Luck for your next ride!

      Thanks for your kind comments Vir! I am really honoured to have so many keen readers reading up minute details of the trip, whereas here even some of my best friends don't It seems ghar ki murgi daal baraabar....

      Nandinee does ride, but currently she is riding Yo Speed and Sym Flyte. I am giving her some irregular sessions on riding the GS150R, and I sure hope she will learn to ride before Leh. The weight and height of the bike is a bit issue, but we are working on it. She is itching to have the majestic experience of riding on plain roads with great views stretching towards the horizon!

      Currently mine and her riding gear match almost one to one (mine being bit high quality ), helmet, goggles, knee guards, jacket, glove, save for the shoes. So yes, the complementary shoes are most welcome, and appreciated

      The next big ride is going to be Leh, which is already planned from 28 Aug to 12th Sept, with hopefully lot of small rides till then.

              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
