WWW.BIKERSCLUB.IN SPITI-LADAKH 2018 A RIDE OF EXTREME | HOW COULD I LEAVE MY UNIDOS ALONE JUST FOR THE PAIN SHREEMAYEE After 18 days of extreme ride of spiti-ladakh with my UNIDOS we reached Nagpur at 9:00 pm on 17th June 2018, saw my family members, friends and well wishers but my eyes were searching for my lil one Shreemayee (my daughter) whom I missed a lot during my ride and when I finally saw her she was wearing a T-shirt on which it was written "I LOVE MY DAD", I could not resist myself to pick her up, she was wearing a dark glasses and why not ! she wanted to welcome her dad in style, I saw her teary eyes when she was in my arms, for the few moments I forgot everyone and more of it I forgot my pain and cried hugging her. That moment which I will never forget in my life because for me she is everything and this was the first time after her birth I was far away from her for so many days. When that emotion broke, my friends and family came to me for the hug & greetings but she was so possessive that she was not allowing anyone to come near me and I greeted everyone holding her in my arms which was paining a lot but that was a picture perfect moment, and it was a sense of completeness. "aise toh hazaar pain qurbaan for my shreemayee!" Parents of other UNIDOS came to thank me for successfully bringing their sons and daughters back because they gave a permission for this ride just for the trust in me that I would take care of them and bring them back from this tough riding expedition. For the moment I lost in a thought and remembered the decision I took at that "Chai tapriwala" at Rohtang Pass." and I felt proud but the decision which I took earlier out of my pain, made me guilty. Everyone dispersed for their homes after greetings on the highway, I came back home with my family and 'Praveen Sahu' (Wanderers). DOCTORS After Praveen left for the Hyderabad which I had to forcefully let him go alone, because he wanted me to come along with him to Hyderabad and actually he was forcing me, but was failing to understand my pain from which I was going through. I respect his love and affection but I could sense there was something major which had happened with my body and I was unable to express it.
