    BEST TRIP LOG EVAR!!!!!!!!

    thats all i can say, am still going through it, generally after the first few posts in any trip log i just start seeing the picture and reading the captions below them. But the first post in ur log itself is so interesting that i cant stop reading at all :-)

    Amazing writing man.

Some professional and personal commitments will not permit me in 2012.. but 2013 it will be.. come what may.. Thank u for this inspiring blog.. Fantastically written..

    P.S. Ever want a copywriters job in an agency.. PM me

    I would like to mention that post-udaipur ride till our "un-called-for event" was one of the best moments of our return journey.. the roads were just awesome man!!
    I remember! And I think it was awesomer cause we were riding at a very relaxed pace (with the exception of the initial burst of speed on your part right after we left Spidey :P ). But yeah it was QUITE the journey

    The Passage where you write as if you're have a convo with your Companion, instead it ur heart speaking it out, i almost droped a tear,

    The Part



    When i read this i was travellin in train in Morning rush hour, train so crowded could hardly move a hand but how to resist reading a log of lifetime, and it hit me i laughed hysterically and people around me looking at me as if i m gone crazy or somethin wow was the feeling.....


    At this point im walking towards office i stand still holding my breath as i reach this point till i i read Baralacha-la is open

    And Badly waiting for Autogarphed Copy.....


    @Motorbreath now we all " know what you did" last summer..

    Ahahahahahahahahaha! That was one of the most detailed and funniest reaction I've got so far Glad you liked it. And yes, I'm trying really hard to get a book out, if nothing else I will use one of the self publishing options. Thank you SOOOOO much for the encouragement. Believe me, if it wasn't for all the comments and support from the lot of you, I would have given up a long time ago.

    In time, we discover a stream more more blue than the bluest blue, more pure than the purest pure. Spiderweb and RomeoMike decide it would be criminal not to experience it. They strip down to their underwear. The temperature is dropping fast, I'm breathing shallow. Motorbreath and I will watch from the sidelines. After much trepidation, Spiderweb decides to test the water with his foot. A blinding chill sweeps through his body as he screams "OH FCUK! OH FCUK! IT'S COLD! IT'S VERY COLD!". "Of course it is Genius!"

    suddenly I see shadows scurrying in the distance. I
    hear someone scream. We're caught off guard. I
    cannot see what the source of interest is. We move
    closer to the fire wondering if it is a carnivore they
    see. It is then I hear my companion scream "Oh teri! Oh teri!". He points towards the mountains in the
    distance. What I see dumbfounds me. I see it! I see
    it! As clear as day! The unmistakable view of beams
    of light moving through the mountains towards us.
    It's happening!! It's happening!! Baralacha-la is open!
    At this point im walking towards office i stand still holding my breath as i reach this point till i i read Baralacha-la is open
