Marsimik La - 2024

Sundowner circa 2018; Dechu, Rajasthan

I was diagnosed with tinnitus 10 years ago, but the wind noise that caused it started 27 years ago.

Discovered this song, felt good, you should also listen.

Sleepless nights: when old videos suddenly look like unfinished masterpieces and editing them feels more important than sleep.

A very distinct peak visible from almost every corner of this town.

Revisiting old days from Zanskar Valley, this video shot by Sarath takes me right back, us gunning it from Kurgiyak to Purne. Broken stones, silt and sand everywhere, the motorcycle sliding all over the place, and the GoPro doing its usual trick of making steep inclines look flat.

First time at Shinku La, and even our GPS trackers lost the plot, three devices, three different altitude readings. The air was thin, the silence heavy, and the cold bit through every layer. Wind chill so sharp it numbed your face in seconds. Standing there, gloveless for just a moment, felt like a dare from the mountains themselves.

Missing night rides, need to get out more.

Lingshed is the kind of place you only find if you’re meant to. Tucked behind twisty loops of silt-and-sand trails, it doesn’t announce itself; it reveals itself slowly, like a secret shared between old friends.

Remote roads of Zanskar, way before they became mainstream.

Monsoon in Maharashtra: where dry trails transform into emerald corridors.

Back then, Zanskar was still a secret kept by the mountains.

Can't get enough of the monsoons

So foggy, we could barely see 100m.

Riding along the Indus, words fall silent.

Pune in a sentence: ride under an hour, any way you go, and the city melts into forest.

Maharashtra monsoons hit different, period!

Just a midnight ride, after a long, long time.
