From So Low to riding solo

Where to next? Where did you go last?
When is the next ride?

These are the typical questions I get from people around me. These are the people for whom I live a dream. They like to listen to my stories and re-live the moment. They have been facinated by the stories and some of them dream of coming along with me on one such ride.
Last couple of years have been sad. I was not able to take time off work and go on a my kind of ride. Last month When my colleague went on vacation to get married I saw my opportunity. I was desperately waiting for him to return just so that I can plan a vacation of my own. At first was thinking of a three week ride from Mumbai to Nepal and back.  I had my route planned and a rough schedule ready. Unfortunately taking three weeks off is a big challenge if one is not getting married. This was a bit disappointing. Soon enough I had an alternative available to take a week off. A week can be spent amazingly in goa or any such place near by.  Instead I decided to ride 2 days to Varanasi, spend 3 days there and come back. This is going to be fun.
