First time in a desert.

It was a part of 'Knowing my Country' series of journeys. An unchartered train trip to Jaisalmer from Delhi. The fort in Jaisalmer is awesome. The sand dunes are nice, but not inspiring; like a beach.

The Orange days

I know I have been writing too much these days. One reason is that I got plenty of time to think and reflect. Since the peripheral posting has started I started to gain weight. It went upto 7kgs above my base 80kgs. So I gave a thought on trying the friutarian diet to reduce weight. Another major reason for this decison was that I am running low on my wallet due to tax deduction from the usual 5 digit salary. Also reducing the weight is necessary if I have to start the marathon practice. So I started it on 4 th of Feb..20 days over and I am 6 kgs less than my starting weight.

Now I think I will push hard to lose ten more kgs.

Ps: I am eating one and half kilo orange everyday, which forms 95% of my diet plan.

Dancing alone..

Ha ha ha...today was the residents night. Something that happens once in a year. I was so happy and enthusiastically waiting for it. Lots of booze, good food and music. Actually I was dancing alone in the crowd this night. But I was not bothered. Rather I hope by this time next year I would have gone to a club with a girlfriend.

And winter in Delhi is almost over. Today I could do a morning walk without any sweater and that was cool. Hectic altetnate day duty going on in neurosx mains. Still life is good. Kudos.

Neurosx at TC.

Snatched by DA for abscence of duty as dressing guy. Made my sorry face and he said " mein dekhthi hoon". I hope I wont have to show my sorry face to Dean too..

Still having fun...:-)

Cross country bike trip

  I did a long ride last december which lasted for 12 days. I started from Delhi. Destination was Kerala. I travelled on Honda Unicorn which is a 150cc bike.
    I picked a route along the west side to Kerala. I passed through Jaipur, Ratlam (MP), Narayangaon (MH), Pune, Goa, Thrissur ( Kerala). It took 7 days including one day stay at Goa.
     Return was through central India. Thrissur, Coimbatore (TN), Bangaluru, Hyderabad, Nagpur, Jhansi, Agra, Delhi. Return ride took 5 days continuous ride.

   Covered a total distance of 5300 kilometers. Petrol for around 9000 rupees. Night stay cost around 5000.

Had one life threatening accident. Rolled over a divider at night in UP at 80km speed. By Gods grace I had no major injuries other than some lacerations. Bike had some problems, but drivable.
It was a lifetime risky experience. I wont advice anyone to do that. Also I could not find anything so interesting in it, that I want to do it again :-)

Aftermath: while riding alone in cold rain on a highway with such  unpredictable surface, in a torn overcoat and gloves, on a bike with broken lamp and brake till next town which is 80km away, I understood that watching tv lying on a cozy bed with mom in next room is the best feeling in the  world.
