BC: What's your high and low phase in life?
SB: Speaking about the high phase; it's obviously
the time from inception of Unido, my wife's
pregnancy and arrival of my princess. I feel like I
got everything I've wished for; I got my dream
coming true as Unido, I got a firm support of my
Unidos for every decision and we made everything
possible what we desired, I got a bundle of
happiness in the form of my daughter. Everything is
so beautiful and blissful after her arrival. I have
done the best of my rides in this period only, so this
phase is really a high phase of my life.
I have already discussed regarding my vertebral
deformity happened to me on Ladakh ride; it badly
affected my personal well being like 'raat ki neend
aur din ka chain' was replaced by extreme pain. It
affected my family; they became too stressed
looking after my condition. It affected my business
too and as I said I was sitting at home for almost a
year and haven't done any significant ride in this
period.
India is not so rider friendly country, looking at the
difficult terrains, different climate, road conditions
and other threats in some particular areas; inspite of
that people are doing great rides locally as well as
internationally.
Riding community of India is also of next level which
contains so much diversified population but the love
and care this community has for their every rider is
unparalleled, we have seen many incidents where
riders community appeared to be the savior.
BC: What do you think about professional racers and
stunt riders?
SB: They are perfect at their positions. These people
have made their passion as a source of their
livelihood. They are as good as the riders, as long as
they are doing their activities safely and being an
inspiration to hundreds of likeminded people and not
provoking the young generation in inappropriate
ways.
BC: Do you think because of social media, many
people have started riding, just for an instant fame?
Or you really think riding motorcycle is becoming a
passion nowadays?
SB: Not really. As riding needs to be in your blood it
can't just be done by looking at social media for any
reason. There are some people who get attracted
towards riding but never make up till riding adopts
them.
When You Ride;

BC: Which is the best destination to ride in India?
SB: There are several places, I personally like to
visit are in North-east and South India. One will be
amazed of my choice but Mollem Goa is my all-time
favourite place.
BC: What's your point of view on riders and riders
community in India?
SB: Riders in India are of just next level, I have
noticed a fact that almost 70 % riders in India
belongs to middle and upper middle class families,
and still they have the true passion for riding with
managing their businesses, jobs, families and make
some incredible rides every year.
Passion for riding can't be created, but yes
nowadays youngsters got the opportunities to ride
the bikes at young age, easy availability of resources
is also responsible for people wants to become
riders.
BC: We have noticed that there are bikers who are
very famous in social media with less numbers of
rides whereas, there are many other riders who have
roamed entire world on motorcycle but nobody
knows them (less famous in social media), what do
you have to say about this?
SB: Yes, both of these kinds exist. But nothing is
wrong if one is getting popularity in less rides,
actually they deserve that for the way they organize
their rides, carry some messages along, and the way
they shoot and showcase their wonder moments in
photos, videos, vlogs are really great which needs
dedication and hard work.
And there are some great riders who have done
some incredible rides at their time when those rides
were next to impossible are unknown or less famous
as some of they didn't even bother to take pictures,
they just lived their moments.
