BIKERS CLUB OCTOBER 2019 ISSUE | Page 65

BIKERS CLUB | MAGAZINE I triggered myself and my bike... took the medicines and said THANK YOU to that chai wala aur phir bike ghumaayi aur chal pada Leh ki taraf... I saw the wondered expression of that chai wala... but believe me hadn't I stopped at that chai wala I would have done the biggest mistake of my life...!!! I calculated Mere UNIDOS and BLACK HAWK group bahot zyaada dur nahi hongey... must have been 400 kms away. So hona kya thaa... at the full throttle I headed towards my UNIDOS. After riding almost for 40 kms, I reached that Police chowki again... That police wala saw me and said kya hua bhaai... wapas kaise... I said plan change ho gaya... ab Ladakh hee janaa hai... He showed me thumbs up and I went ahead. Now at my side of Zing Zing Baar I stopped for a while, due to heavy neck pain and cold... my hands were shivering, so I went to one big rock to and stroke my hands on the stones to get some heat then I wore my hands glove ON... and passed Zing Zing Baar... Although it was very tough but I wanted to reach LEH at any cost to meet my Brothers... My UNIDOS. Then I rode from Zing Zing Baar to Sarchu and from Sarchu to Leh... I crossed Sarchu successfully then LEH ke liye aage badh gaya... and around at 8:00 pm I reached a check post before LEH city. I requested the check post guy for to make one call and he obliged me with it. I called up Praveen... I just said the word Praveen and he recognized my voice and said At almost 5:00 pm I reached Jispa paas and I checked in a hotel there. I requested that hotel guy to send me a Dada kaha ho aap with excitement... Aur phir woh sabko kehne lagaa.. Dada aa gaye... Dada aa gaye... hot water. Ek banda paani leke aayaa... once again requested to pour at my neck to get relief. Phir khana khaa ke I went to sleep. MEETING WITH UNIDOS IN LEH - 10TH DAY I woke up early at 5:00 am and with the fresh mind and the pain on my neck after breakfast I resumed my ride to catch up with my UNIDOS in LEH... meri gardan ko bhi dawaai kaa naashtaa de diya thaaa.. taaki thoda time chup baithey... Phir kyaa thaa... Jispa paas se Zing Zing Baar aayaa... Now the biggest challenge I had to pass that water crossing... So I thanked to that hotel guy for telling me to start my ride after 1 hour because of the problem with Zing Zing Baar due to heavy rains in last night... so listening to his advice I started my ride at 7:30 am from that hotel. I told him to send me their location in my phone... because I knew as soon as I will reach Leh city my phone will get network and start working. He said location chodo... aap jahaa ho wahaa hee ruko hum log aap ko lene aa rahe hai... I said don't do that.. send me the location... but woh log kahaa sunne waale they... I said I am heading towards LEH city, before I could finish, he said.. aap chalaate raho... will catch you up in between...
