BIKERS CLUB | MAGAZINE 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.
