ROAD TO GLORY
So it has been 3 months since my adventure in October. A couple of guys crazy enough to
traverse India from south to north in 8 days.
traverse India from south to north in 8 days.
We planned since March to make this work. From the mere asking to join this adventure, to the buying of a new motorcycle, to the long pain staking planning for all
the 10 days including 2 days in Delhi and finally executing it. Individually planned for each day. But I had to admit that we over did it ourselves.
the 10 days including 2 days in Delhi and finally executing it. Individually planned for each day. But I had to admit that we over did it ourselves.
Because riding 400 - 500 kilometres, 10 - 12 hours of riding each day on a pair of 150cc and 200cc bikes is a back breaker, butt sorer, unthinkable,over doing, mind boggling, for 2400 kilometres in
almost of all the 8 days is just a huge task to withhold. Some say stupid I guess.
Not to mention that I am back alive in one piece with beautiful memories.

But I know its worth it. Every single penny used, every energy drained, every minutes spent,every throttle pulled, every brake squeezed, every gear changed.
To be at the finishing point I would say its paradise.
And I would like to call my adventure;
~Khaldoun’s Great Adventure~
I want you to compare it with Malaysia. |

All are doctors to be. To find time and money in our hectic schedule in medical school is a miracle. And to tell you about my university. No one gives a damn for holidays. We just finished our 3rd MBBS exams. We start final year classes two days after.Cruelty, just cruelty.
However, God just gave us time and money. Oh Suhas is from another university.
