I last wrote on Sept 14th last year. It's been so long ago - not time wise but so many things have happened since. If distance were the measurement of whatever between two events or between two thoughts or between two phases or between two layers in the mind...I've covered a lot of distance in the last one year!
Well, well...here we are again. It's the same old itch, same old situation. You tend to crave the risk (or whatever it is) so much that there becomes a time when your whole being craves and craves and craves. I called Bhaskar this afternoon and did my best to convince him to go on the ride and he found every reason to refuse - the seat, the ass, the wife, the business, the lack-of-sense-of-freedom etc.
In the last few months, I've thought of several rides -- Aurangabad to the world's oldest meteorite crater, Ajanta/ Ellora, Panchgani and more recently Hampi. The AR dudes were planning I think Bhimashankar. I did a couple of quickies - one with Harsha on NH8 -- randomly drove for 200km. Other than the quickies, none of the other rides happened because it didn't really give me that kick. And then today in the kriya when several thoughts come and go, I guess it crystallized...K2 - Kanyakumari. I imagined myself on Vivekananda Rock and looking at my India from there -- the V-shape from the bottom and it gave the kick. It took 0.5 seconds to decide.
So my current plan is to leave on Friday or Saturday (sat if I watch Rock On movie with Suz like we planned on Friday) -- Mumbai-Pune-Belgaum-Chitradurga-Bangalore-Salem-Madurai-K2. Then I guess I'll drive up to Kochi and park the Bull at Sug's.
The big issue is time -- linear, physical earth time! Shucks, I got loads of things to do and I'm still thinking of the best approach. Parashuram is going to get me the road book tom and I guess I'll decide then.
