Sir, take a bow. For completing it, and ofcourse for the writing.| Judging a bike by a cubic capacity yardstick is like judging a female by her bra size |

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!"
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 openOriginally posted by alankarmisra View PostIt's past midnight. I am about to call it a night, but
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!
And Badly waiting for Autogarphed Copy.....

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.

@Alankar: what an amazing narration thru out.. it was gr8 to live the entire journey again thru this log..
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!!Those people who tell you not to take chances
They are all missing on what life is about
You only live once so take hold of the chance
Don't end up like others the same song and dance

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.Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a Ride!' -Hunter S. Thompson
