LEAVE THE ROAD

This motorcycle has been full paisa wasool for me. Has taken me places, across dunes and mountains, lakes and beaches, highways and no-roads. It just chugs along where ever I want it to go. 30k kms in 2 years, I am happy I made this buy. It was easy on the pocket. And the maintenance, doesn't eat into my travel money either.
It's fun to ride trails with people you align with. The icing on the cake is when you are the only people around.
Those Eyes!
Leave the road and meet me jhaadi ke peeche 😂😂😂
I promised myself on my 40th that I would gift myself a couple of good motorcycling trips this year. I hope I can pull it off. The way things are going with Covid, the possibilities are going down the drain. Here's to wishing a hopeful future.
Last few months, my heads not been in the right place. Conflicts, unexpected reactions and realisation that virulent situations are closer to you than one would expect.

One Year and 15000 km done. My motorcycle’s chassis frame is still intact, and I am still running the stock cone set bearing.

****GIVEAWAY ALERT****
So, yesterday was National Pet Day. Everyday is a pet day 😁
Back to chasing sunrises, it's too hot to ride in the day.
Brownies and chocolate sauce, anyone?
This was the first time it struck me that I was riding at 16000+ feet above sea level, first time at anything near this altitude since 2011. I was 30 then and the perspective of a lot of things have changed for me over the last 10 years. I'm happy where I am currently in life. I think I have enough. And, I wish for you to have enough.
At a random tea shop nestled in a valley on route to Lachen. I love how mountain folks are always so welcoming. Even their dogs are like, 'come on in, have a tea, you can scratch my back while u are at it'
A quick dash to Gurgaon and back meant that I couldn't meet a lot of people I wanted to. I'm glad I could squeeze time out to meet this bunch. Until next time!!!
I feel this sense of calm around these prayer flags. Not sure if it's the colors or the chants on them. It's just surreal.
No caption needed. The beauty speaks for itself. 📷 @shalinijain
This is one of the most beautiful stretch of roads I have ridden through.
This was us going through the loops of Yumthang Valley on route to Zero Point. We had to turn back as it started snowing and was not safe on a motorcycle there on.
White Out - Got snow almost all through Yumthang to Zero Point. It started snowing while we started back. This was a lovely spot overlooking the entire Yumthang Valley.
This was on the way back from Mangan. Now imagine the same stretch, at night, with rain and slush. That's how it was when we climbed up to Mangan a few nights ago. I think we managed better in the night as we couldn't see where we would go if we slide off the sides of the road. The day time was a different ball game. Every slide made us feel that we will drop off the edge of the road.
I have no idea what I was pointing at. May be the peaks of Yumthang Valley or just pointing out that it's been a year since the series of lockdowns. We have come a long way. We have a long way to go.
