Believe me subeh uth ke dekhta hu toh mera
WhatsApp pura "Thank you dada" ke messages se
bhara hua tha..
I showed it to Rani and said.. kitna pyaar karte hai
mere UNIDOS mujh se... And she replied...
Aur yeh jaante hue bhi tum mana kar rahe they
right ? She stared at me.
UNIDO meet at 8:00 pm today - I left a message in the
group.
UNIDO MEET
All greeted me saying thanks, we discussed the dates
and called up Naren and told him that our spiti-ladakh
plan is ON, shared the dates and route map, he said we
are also planning on the same days, so it got decided
that they will join us from Delhi, I hung the phone
saying will send you the list of UNIDOS who are coming.
Naren is a old rider friend and he too knew that I know
spiti-ladakh very well so he also got happy, I told him to
carry on with your group and their bookings, I will take
care of My UNIDOS and will join your group in Delhi.
(BLACK HAWK ADVENTURES is the company who
organizes spiti-ladakh paid ride every year - and Naren
owns that company).
I noticed two UNIDOS were quiet standing in the
corner Akash Turaskar & Prasad Mahore, I asked them
what happened ? They said their parents are not giving
them a permission for this ride and suddenly
the chaos started. All other UNIDOS realized that they
have not discussed about this ride to their families as
well and yet to take a permission..
and I was like "Hey bhagwaan"
I said "Tum log itna excited they ki saari planning
kar di par sabse important cheez hee bhul gaye...
waaah..." Nigha aata... aamhi saghlya aata tevhaa
bhetnar... jevhaa tumhi lokaana permission
bhetel..."
FAMILY'S RECATION
Ever since the UNIDO formed, we have been riding all
around and all the members have become like a true
brothers.. people from the individual's family started to
know each other well.. And they all knew about UNIDO
and it's riders, and personally they all knew me very
well. But I wasn't prepared for their reactions.
Getting permission was not easy, there were many
reasons behind that. but any which ways we had to
take the permissions, it was not that parents didn't
want them to go to spiti-ladakh ride but they were
worried because of the tensions in Kashmir Valley. But
again my UNIDOS came to me and told me to convince
their parents who were not getting permissions. There
were few who immediately got it, but there were some
who were new and never had rode to these kind of
tough-rough expedition.
Kya karta mai... jana toh tha hee.. usme koi doubt
hee nahi tha..." So I went to few riders home to
meet their parents and for the some it was on
phone..
Fortunately, all of them knew me well and on my
request they said yes, but told me clearly that it would
be my responsibility to bring them back safely.
I promised them, and made them assured about their
son's - daughter's well being during the ride.
