Wide? I thought you said WIDE

So, @thefatmansbike tells me that he knows a place and rides right to the edge of this cliff. It's safe to say that I let out some explicits.

Off all the places I miss in Bangalore, this is definitely one of them.

First monsoon ride of the year and we went straight into the thick of it at Kumbhe. Standard visibility: gone. Cliffs and ridges: completely swallowed by the fog.

Wow, thinking about Pensi La brings back so many memories from the last trip!

Just me and some curves.

2001 - my first ride to the mighty mountains.

Trying out new mic setups till I get awesome audio. I'm still far from desired results.

We climbed to the top of the world to find stillness (yes, even when it was windy as anything), not validation. Looking back at UmLingLa from a time before it became a crowded trophy on a social media checklist. There were no fights for a photo-op back then, just a profound gratitude for the lungs that got us here and a horizon that didn't care about likes. Life is so much simpler when you're collecting moments instead of Guinness World Records certificate.

Two roads diverged in the mountains, and I took the one that looked more adventurous, only to question my choices in life, and by the end of it I got dunked in the freezing cold river and made it out alive.

Edits are getting out of hand.

My feet are practically itching to step back into the canvas of this place. @bytherivercafeandstays

World Motorcycle Day

Stunning, unreal, and heartbreakingly distant. This bike belongs on our roads, but do you see it coming to India? Odds: slim. Want: very much.

Somedays, you just post, doesn't need to make any sense, right!

Three runs between 2022 and 2024.

From building expensive dreams in a cheap world to carrying responsibilities on my shoulders like bales, every turn on this trail feels like a step closer to the self I’m searching for.

That song is from Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi — the same film that sparked a whole generation’s itch to ride away. For a lot of kids back in 2013 it became a manifesto; for me it was more like a soundtrack to memory. I remember the wind on the highway, the nitrogen-cold mornings in the northeast, the way the paper map tapped on my tank blurred into a single line of possibility. Listening to that track now, I’m back on narrow mountain roads, petrol fumes and chai stops, a pack of friends laughing at a busted tyre and the sun lowering over a valley I’d sworn I’d never forget. It wasn’t just cinema inspiring travel — for us it was confirmation. The movie nudged a dream into motion, but the miles I rode before and after it are what made that dream mine!

POV: that toe I sprained three weeks ago says ‘I’ll get to it later'
