The trailing pack caught up with us. They confirmed that the backup jeep was not behind us, which meant(...)'

I could not sleep very well last night – this time, not because of any apprehensions; but because of Chandramouly snoring! So, in a way, it was nice hearing the sound of the alarm go off.

Reluctantly, I stepped out from the comfort of my warm bed and got on with the morning duties.I wonder if you have noticed how this entire thing was remarkably different compared to the day I had set off (...)'

'1If you have had a conversation with me anytime during the past one year, I am sure I would have mentioned to you about my motorcycle trip to the Himalayas, with a couple of my friends. Of course, I would have made it sound a lot more dramatic than what I have written here, but that is beside the point!
