And thousand have died protecting the heaven on earth. We owe you guys. Respect~Indian Army~Border Road Organization(BRO) and everyone else that has contributed to keep the place unadulterated.
Back in the days of sleeping giant(ORKUT), my brother forwarded me one of those Royal Enfield groups that organized trips to LEH.
The Fire Rises!
And It did, very soon, trip to LEH went into my ThingsToDoBeforeYouDie list. (Honestly,many would do it over and over again. Such is the beauty.)
The year 2014 has been a surprise package until this is being written. The tickets were booked well in advance after extended meeting. Such was the seriousness that it took 2 days to decide nothing. Plan A, Plan B, Plan C and Plan Falana Plan Dhimkana- We had these options to chose from based on the number of days. A lot of effort went into it by my sis. Well done! ThumbsUp.
Considering cost/number of days/comfort/fun, it was decided that we would drive my brother's safari from delhi and be back. ThumbsUp for Safari! Awesome family!
I always had this trip planned in my mind. Take a bike from delhi-go Up- Up- Up until there's only you and no one else. Sounds dreamy, but it happens. Even though the tickets were booked, there were chances that I would miss the most awaited journey of my life. Thanks to other important things(Read MBA/JOB). But sometimes life is a bed full of roses. This was one such instance. And so we began. Oops…. we forgot to do the all important checklist.But got 2 bottles of Rum instead(planned well in advance).
We-Amit Ranjan(Sahib),Anshuman Solanki(The biker),Jyoti Nishant(joined us in Leh due to commitments, not to a girl but to his job), Saurabh Suman(Driver), Shaily Sahay(Photographer/Video analyst), Shweta Kumari(Memsahib).
Day 1(Pune-BOM-DEL)
14-Aug-2014
Shaily and I began at 1:00 PM. The bus was right on time, infact we boarded an earlier bus to avoid any mumbai traffic jams. And we did a right thing, Mumbai can be rude at times. We reached the airport on timeand were later joined by Amit and Shweta.
Airport was at total chaos. Chaos was on everyone's mind. System failures, final announcements and merry go round queues which hardly moved didn't dampened our spirits. Later when the servers were up, we were right up there at the counters.
Boarding pass collected, luggague checked in, Welcome Aboard.
An hour late, we were welcomed by my sis in law with delicious ghar-ka-mutton. Another ThumbsUp! I Quietly asked my bro if the safari was serviced-Negative.
No wonder what it led to.
