KIBITHOO - DAY 1 - MORNING FLAG OFF
It was 6:30 am, there was something different there
at that land, cool breeze were hitting my face and
every sip of my tea was sinking me to nostalgia in
that army camp, by seeing the Jawans morning
routine I remembered my old days when I used to do
all these. With the tea and little breakfast I explained
my "Save The Girl Child" cause ride to Koteshwar to
few of the officers and Jawans there, we were so
engrossed in our talks on every topic that I didn't
realize the time which flied, and when I saw my
watch it was 11:30 am, and finally after lunch there at
army mess - Ohh ! I missed this food in these years
after my retirement. But finally at exact 1:30 pm I
flagged off my ride. While my ride towards Hayuliang I saw few of the
bikes parked on the road side with lot of dust and
mud on it, so as we believe in bikers brotherhood, I
enquired about their bikes and came to know that
their bikes got stalled because of some problems
and they have called the mechanic from Tezu.
With the nostalgia I left from there and reached
walong at 4:30 pm. where I halted my ride. LOHITPUR - DAY 3
Unlike other riders I ride according to
my convenience because I don't only ride for sake of
covering distances but I ride to explore and feel the
land and breeze of that place.
There are no mechanics in these areas, so those
riders whose bikes gets stalled, they wait for the
mechanic who comes from Tezu, so once two to
three bikes gets stalled, mechanic comes.
After assuring that they all were safe I resumed my
ride . I reached Hayuliang by 3:30 pm.
Started my ride at Sunrise to Lohitpur via Tezu on
about 117 kms. I halted at army camp at Lohitpur
which is about 14 kms from Tezu.
CHOWKHAM - DAY 4
From Lohitpur, came down to Tezu, checked my
bike to one mechanic and headed for Chowkham.
Wherever and whenever I get opportunity, I used to
explain people of about importance of girls in the
society, be it people at chaiwala, restaurant, petrol
pumps or some crowded areas. When some big
town comes near, I used to leave highways and take
up village roads to meet more and more people to
let them know about the importance of girl child.
and believe me it worked properly. I am glad till
now that there were few families who realized their
wrong perceptions for the girl child and I could
manage to change it. And still few of the families
are in touch with me since then.
WALONG - DAY 2
I start my ride at sunrise and end at sunset, I usually
avoid riding at nights. So this was my routine that I
start my ride at about 7:30 am and ends at around
4:30 to 5:00 pm till the sunset.
In North East, Sun sets early, by 4:30 to 5:00 ish sun
goes down.
So I started at 7:30 am to Hayuliang of about 120 kms
ride. In mountain range it takes lot of time to cover
100 kms, so I decided to go slow till I was in north
East.
I reached Chowkham and halted.
TINSUKHIA - DAY 5
From Chowkham to Tinsukhia via Dibrugarh about
100 kms ride. It was amazing ride, me being very
close to nature. I still remember and feel the breeze
of Tinsukhia.
JORHAT - DAY 6
On about 182 kms ride to Jorhat in Assam from
Tinsukhia, I halted at the hotel to spend night. There
I met few of my old rider friends especially
