A Char Dham Yatra- “The Four Abodes”~Part1
This was one tour I was a bit apprehensive about, my parents especially mom wanted to see the Ganga and witness the arathi at Haridwar, a place where the whole town comes to a standstill and exactly sharp 7pm the daily evening arathi of the river Ganga is performed and has been performed like this for many,many generations now. Mom and Dad wanted to visit the place, at first i thought i would book their tickets and plan it out for them ,and if possible book one of those 10 day Char Dham yatras and that way they can cover the Char Dham (4 sacred places of the Himalays)yatra as well and would be a nice pilgrimage for my parents.
As the days approached, I was checking with allot of travel agents and to my surprise they all seemed so hectic and seemed quite a responsibility just to send them off alone . Later I started thinking it was an opportunity of a life time especially the thought of the Mountains. and the wind ..and the fact of being with ONE with all the 5 elements of nature, I could not resist and agreed my self in taking them to the Char Dham Yatra.

“There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one….
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving…..
Its true well makes a better day
Just you and me…!! “
Like they say , Great people or great lives are only realized after they are gone…
Its almost like this long walk. You make your own path no matter whom your following, u will still make your own pathway,being only inspired by others lives. One such life we shall calibrate for years and years to come and that will be of Michael Jackson! Continue reading »
I Know its Been a while since i have posted any of my Rides….But this one was different..as always a much awaited get away needed and had to get on and ride the Highway …!!!
This time I wanted a day ride…coz out of the tight schedule I wanted to take time out for a ride.. That’s when i saw on the Internet about Bidar , and it was only about 146km and a good option to ride .. and come back on the same day.. That’s when i decided i had to get on this road no matter what, over the weekend. But I was still very tentative… called Ram , told him wake me up early in the morning so that we could start early and make the most of the day …Well i slept late ..and by the time i woke up it was 8 in the morning….Got up and thought..ok! may be we will scrap the ride..and rather sleep coz i was really tired from all the erratic working hours during the week… and thought i should catch up with some more sleep instead..
