My Library

Something I wanted to do for a long time, note down the books I have read. Each book I end up reading and actually completing impacts me in a big way.  As many would I feel I'm a part of the story...it becomes my story and hence it shakes me up too.

I have a story to tell...from the beginning..

The beginning of a new adventure... Many would agree that our lives our full of adventures big and small and the fun part at the end is how exciting they became and how strong you came out of it... The latest planned adventure which I thought would start from 16th August 2011 has actually now itself can say from 13th August, has started showing its magnanimity and I just wonder what the actual 19 days would be like ..and thinking so the butterflies in my stomach have moved a little northwards and the feeling which I get is of a strange weight around my throat..similar to the one you get just before your very 1st date maybe ! Well the planned adventure is a 19 day Mountain biking(cycling) expedition from Kullu - Khardungla(Ladakh). Its a girls only thingy organised by YHAI.

Where the mind is without fear & the head is held high....

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high , Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake !!! Excerpts from a poem of RabindraNath Tagore The 1st & the last line are the one which always stay in my mind..I guess they explain everything we all are striving for. I heard this poem 1st time when I was in school still donn remember in which class. Sr. Julia our english singing teacher made us sing this poem as a song and slowly it became the source of energy for me like many other things.I guess its a favourite one for you too as thats why you are reading my blog :) Well I don't want to discuss my views on this song over here , just wanted all to remember this song for a moment !!! Into that heaven of freedom dear God let everyone awake....

Wet - My longest single day cycling trip !

1st August 2011 A loop around amchi Mumbai, started early morning from Ghatkopar Garodia nagar with Pushpa Ji, my coach and friend who gave me not only physical but mental training too on strength and endurance. She had more confidence in me than me myself. It was for her I could participate and complete the YHAI cycling expedition to Khardung la, 18K ft, supposedly one of the highest motorable roads of the world. Cycling for 17 days 600 km from Kullu to Khardungla top and securing an entry in the Limca Book of World Records.  This was my training ride before embarking on our expedition which started on 14th August 2011. Ghatkopar-Eastern express highway - Thane - Ghodbandar-Borivali National Park - Kanheri Caves- JVLR-Powai -Vikroli -Ghatkopar It's monsoon in Mumbai, I remember being wet by the time we hit the eastern express highway (15 mins), it was a series of drying up and getting wet again. We had packed food (paranthas), around Thane I bought Anaar(pomogranates) from a roads...
