ONCE A BIKER ALWAYS A BIKER - BACK FROM HIBERNATION

It’s been 10 years since I have a written a blog over here. Over the years, the urge to write has always been there but life came up with so many things at different points in time and I wouldn’t shy away from telling you that all these years, this close dude of mine is who kept me from talking to you all – The Procrastinator. 

 Let me not bore you with my stories with Mr. Procrastinator that would make you yawn. You all might have had your fair share with this dude and know how he works. Also, I know the attention span of any individual browsing the net over the past decade has come down so much that you got to keep them engaged with your content before they blink their eye. Man - Be easy on this old dawg! I’m just warming up and I’m sure my writing juices are just about to flow the more I type. I’m listening to David Guetta “I gotta feeling that tonight is going to be a good night” and I guess that’s just about doing its trick. 

 11 years ago, when all the 4 bikers who made it to Khardung-la Pass, made a promise that we would re-group and come back to the Himalayan region by 2020. We were so excited that 2020 will be the year that will get us back to riding our bikes to the Himalayas and I was so looking forward for this ride with the then “care-free boys” who have turned into men shouldering more responsibilities now. Unfortunately, I don’t see this happening this year until we have a breakthrough for COVID-19. 


 I guess COVID-19 has taught us all a very important lesson that life is unpredictable, and we shouldn’t keep our dreams in the corner of our mind for long. If there is something you wish to do, the time is now and you need to action it because if you don’t do, you will regret it for the rest of your life. The take away message for all of us is that for you to feel alive, you need to constantly touch base with your inner self and execute all that your heart aches for – For me, it is biking and traveling which I think I should frequently take up moving forward. I know by doing this, I will have lots of memories to cherish with my loved ones before I bid adieu to this world. Hoping that all of you would agree to this and will ensure to follow your heart and make your dreams come true. 

 Looking forward to talk to you with more tales from our biking escapades.
