LOL, I run an agency as well (actually a Graphic Design studio) And yeah, DO this trip. It will change you.


Thank you SOO SOO much!

This log sucks. It ended so fast!

^^ ROFL! Sarcasm duly noted ;-)

Finally Alu bhaiyya, Waiting for the book to read the tale once again

Ladakh - dream destination done, Whats Next for the late bloomer?

Few rides in the pipeline. Will tell you once I'm done with them :P

Thank you so much for taking the time out to write such a wonderfully thoughtful comment. And yes, I did find what I was looking for - in fact I intended to write an epilogue for the log to illustrate how my life changed after the trip but never landed up finishing it. Will put that in the book (which I really want to get published). So yeah, its on the cards ;-)

Thanks...

I lllooovvveeee you sirrrrrrr..... Just want to hug you once for this superbly wonderfull experience...

Today when I started reading from where I left it looong way before, I was not at all in a condition to do anything. Screen was diplaying some files to be updated and shared, some issues waiting to be resolved, some calls waiting to be answered. But nothing was happening. I was totally lost in emotional storms taking place in my brain. Frustrated of life, relations, commitments, everyone... Frustrated of myself too... Wanted to go somewhere where I'll find my share of life.
While just meaninglessly playing with the keys, I pressed Alt+Tab... And what !? Window was now displaying the journey I left behind while trying to catch up the promisses made to keep everyone happy... Except me...

Resumed (may be unwillingly at that time...) And now here I am back... Back to normal... Want to know what happened between the start and the end (!) ?
I don't know... I a b s o l u tely DON'T KNOW... Was just flowing in your words... It is needless to say I lived every moment of your sojourn...
It's absolutely mindblowing... Fantastic... Great... No words to explain... Superb...

P.S.: I am NOT a reader... Not at all... But waiting for your book... Wish you best luck for it will treat us back...
P.P.S.: Please excuse for the hugging part... Hope you won't mind...

^^ Ha ha ha ha ha glad you're back to normal now. And no I don't mind the hugs - there's no shame in hugging a brother ;-) Cheers!

Great Work

This is undoubtedly the best travelogue I have ever read dude.
I'm mostly a passive reader. So far I haven't tried my hands on writing one.
I just loved the choice of words, the story narrative style, the mind-blowing pics and its all like a super-duper cinematic story, with a cool climax like the log ends to the point you started logging in xbhp, just like a cycle of life.
I joined Xbhp some one year back. Its only recently I started reading travelogues, and I became too addicted to your blog that all my office works are lagging behind. Also my friends started making fun like I'm too crazy and addicted to Xbhp.
All the characters in this log are depicted pretty well, like the way the human behaviour changes when accustomed to pressurised & life threatening situations. I dont feel none of the characters are villians here and everyone has their point and human beings maybe forced to change their stand owing to some critical situations.
The main thing is by reading this log I relived my travels with my friends & at some scenarios I felt we did the same when we went for a weekend drive. I was leading the group and was going pretty fast but I always wait at junction points of road so that the lagging group wont miss the right direction. The rest of the group used to complaint that I'm going way too fast and my riding style is too dangerous . I relived all those moments when I read your logs.
Once again hats off to your osm log.
So, when are you going for the next drive so that I can read another log of yours.

He has been riding and conveniently luring people into rides and make them ride slow and not blog about it!
You can read more from him here

Sole Planet

You are welcome

Any update on the printed version ???

No major ride happening any time soon! But yeah as Satyen pointed out below whatever little I write now is on Sole Planet. If there's something major I will obviously start a thread here too!

Ahahahahahaha! Sorry man, yeah I should have made Goa a writing exercise but somehow I was too worried about the bike so couldn't get into the zone.

Unfortunately no I'm doing WAY too much, so this has taken a backseat, but its still on my mind.

read the complete log again and needless to say, LEH is lurking beneath... yet again...

actually, finished reading the log just now... wonderful piece of writing

Happiness is within. It has nothing to do with how much applause you get or how many people praise you. Happiness comes when you believe that you have done something truly meaningful.

Sir, And I Believe you have done something meaningful.

I like to praise and reward loudly, & you deserve all praise sir, Legendary stuff.

Read complete Story today itself, very good way to refresh mind, Just love the way you write, amazing skill you have got and to add to that photography skills are also awesome. and the Group Riding is always fun, hoping to go there once in lifetime & then so often after that, and will always remember this inspiring blogs here on xBhp.


Cheers

Phew...........Finally finished reading the blog.

AM - You must be a master at the start and stop method (Pun Intended) Hehehehehe.

Big Respect Brother. It's been worth the wait. Keep up the good work.
