This blog is our space to write about our thoughts, views and notes about our travels. Osho owned 90 Rolls Royces while being a Sanyasi …. The so-felt contradiction is very fascinating and hence the name !
And am not talking of the circus, but sometimes it does feel like the circus. On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, (Feb 14-16) we drove an average of 600 kms each day and completed a flying trip in the car to Coorg. This blog is inspired by the circus that we witnessed on the roads. On … Read more
We started from Manish’s place at 11 am and were hoping to be home at Hyderabad before 6 easily. At 12.20 we had covered about 70 Kms and heard a “pop” like sound, and thought we must have gone over some cardboard piece… A few minutes later we heard a flapping sound and realised it … Read more

The route we took to Hyderabad was Sagar-Narsinghpur-Chindwara-Saoner-Nagpur-Adilabad-Medchal-Hyderabad. This was the first time we were trying this route and we were just bowled over … Read more

Yesterday we were driving from Kalpa to Shimla. The route is scenic but the 40 Kms after Reckong Peo are pure unadulterated road hell. There are no roads… It’s just gravel and mud and an extra 20 kms courtesy the River Sutlej over-running a portion of NH-22. You basically climb a hill on a single … Read more
Namaste Shri Shivraj Ji, Am a huge fan of yours even though I don’t live in Madhya Pradesh. I didn’t know about you, till a petrol pump attendant in 2009 told us, you were a good man and had done really good work. This was our first road trip from Bangalore to Delhi and the … Read more
