I believe that life in an adventure and the only way
to be happy is to 'Live the life you Love & Love the
life you Live".
With this in my mind and my hunger for adventure, I
set out from Aligarh and rode for 4 months (130)
days to the 29 states of my Country, Bhutan & Tamu
(Myanmar) and completed a total of 29115 kms.
I had no aims or final goals, just one crazy
motorcyclist and the long vast roads. I simply
wanted to travel and explore my country,
experience it's vast and various cultures, food, it's
people and places.
The journey was sure a fulfilling experience for me.
From riding on dangerous roads, to the hot desert
roads, to the cool rainy Western Ghats, the beautiful
beaches down south, to the hot dry cities, to the
beautiful north eastern states, to riding in the
middle of nowhere, experiencing all weather types
and terrains and getting lost in the mountains,
explored roads less taken and saw some
breathtaking views, I got a feel of my country and its
amazing regions and weather types. Being a history
lover I also got to visit and see some amazing
monuments with their ancient intricate architecture
built by our forefathers.
Not only did I ride during these 4 months, but also
trekked in the northeast, rode to Siachen Base Camp
and spent time with our Indian army, sat by the sea
in Goa and saw the beautiful sunset, watched the
sunrise in Tawang Arunachal (the place of the rising
sun) and many more amazing places.
Not forgetting the lips making food, I tried and ate in
these 4 months. From sweets, to local brews, the
awesome Lucknowi biryani’s, to authentic North
Eastern delicacies and Goan seafood.
I also met and spent time with amazingly helpful,
interesting, extremely generous and loving people
along this journey. Made many new friends and
connected with my old ones. Shared million happy
memories, stories and smiles and received lots of
blessings and love.
One of my most precious memories and first time
experiences was celebrating my Eid and eating my
Eid lunch at the Langar, at world largest kitchen at
the Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab.
