#Dada_in_Rakhigarhi. Today morning, on my way back from Hisar to Jaipur, I had decided to take my first pitstop in Rakhigarhi village, the sensational Indus Valley Civilization site, which has created so much tremors in world history. I started at 0500 hr, when it was still dark and reached the village short of Jind, after […]
#From_the_road. As the sun rises in the horizon, Dada and Shwet Agni sets out for a 4 day journey… This time to mix pleasure with some professional work… #From_the_road… This time I was determined to break the Paratha trappings (North Indian aloo, pyaaz or paneer paratha is too heavy for my age and taste, being […]

#Zanshin_and_Going_Nowhere #Why_I_Ride. I was out yesterday afternoon riding on Shwet-Agni and once I returned home, the odo showed 120 km. I was not visiting a tribal festival, I was not trying an adventure to any La, I was not trying to look for any natural wonder, some unexplored trail or historical monument, nor a cabal […]
The #Olive_Green_Riders today rode to #Sambhar and #Shakambhari lake. A mindblowing landscape of openness, mystery, salt pan, brackish and human faith. The Mata temple was a centre of natural wonder and Rajput faith. The authentic #Marwari_brunch in the house of a very respectable real farmer (who is 40 times richer than me) was also a […]

One needs to climb the hills on foot approx for 10 minutes to first reach the temple of […]
