View Larger Map Dates : 10th June, 2012 to 17th June, 2012 The Dheet-Trekkers : PP , Manish Kutaula , Khandi, Danish, Upreti , Amit Bisht & yours' truly Dheet7 : "So what is the secret behind being an expert biker?" Dheet1 : " It’s simple. Just grip the handle firmly, and make sure the bike stays underneath your ass and not the other way round…" How do I find the words to describe this trip of ours? Well, if you’ve ever seen the video of the headless chicken on Youtube, you’ll know. Without our Sardar , the planner and the shepherd, we were just a bunch of rebels without a clue. But I kid you… The fact is, it was a wondrous trip, immaculately timed (by chance). We not only had our first experience of riding an Enfield in the hills, amidst green valleys and treacherous fog and rain, but we were introduced to a nation that although is considered one of the poorest countries of the world, but where we met some of the mo...
its a weird thing how life can be so undulating in its effects on you, escalating you to dizzying heights just after it has shown you the crevices and the pits, only to take you up again in another vomit inducing rollercoaster ride. but the highs are always uncertain, and the depths have a comforting feel to them that makes you relaxed and feel safe about them. its not that you cant get any lower that relaxes you, for the lows can take you down into places where you'd begin to suffocate within yourself, and noone wants that to happen to them. but its the freedom from prying eyes and worse, from scrutiny that makes you safe. you cease to have the fear of not meeting expectations and of not being able to deliver, or worse, of being felt jealous of or trampling upon others trust on you. when you're low, they all leave you alone. and you dont have any expectations pulling you, or any of those leeches who feed on others success sucking you dry. you can be yourself without any pretension or care. for its only the pretension of being successful at everything and at all the times that takes away the peace from people and gives them that hideousness that is so evident to the loser and which aspirational wannabes fail to see. but, being low is very trying on the self esteem. and if one can get over the parental ego that squeezes them to lose their pulp, either by being confident of his own worthiness, or by by feeling himself outright useless and outofplace, one would find that being low is much better than being high, unless its by getting doped. low, when its with depression, is, like drugs, very addictive. and very enjoyable.

One who's had a home and family and education and exposure and physically everything or one with no hands or feet or both or eyesight or any other physical deformity, and one who has not had a home, a family and relatives and one who had no knowledge, no learning, no education...!
The modern lifestyle where living a normal life is being in the dumps! no man, we have no right to be down and out simply because we have no right or reason to be there.
'Coz we have knowledge and learning and power and faith and exposure.We can change things, make people listen, listen and comprehend.
we can be sad, at the plight of the world, of fellow sufferers...but we simply cannot complain.
suffering gives a kind of high, like Doping, or smoking but that's being sadistic, not logical, not rational, not Thankful.
so be sad, but dont be down 'coz you have the means and you have the power to bring about a change...!
