My first solo ride trip - bombay ahmedabad- dholavira ahmedabad bombay - 1966 kms
some of the captures from the lost city of Haraapan valley civilisation. Thousands of years ago also they knew importance of water storage
thou i missed watching the Full Moon on the Rann, but nevertheless it was a good learning curve and experience..
Nervous, Anxious and all other emotions set for the ride
Left for Rann of Kutch 800+kms on 26thDec15, first stop Ahmedabad.
Chilled December morning not wearing enough layers, underestimated the chilled winds, but enough excitement to make it thru the cold..
10hrs and 585 kms later reached Ahmedabad for a night halt enroute Dholavira
 |
| "Jugni" achieved a new milestone 11111 kms - excluding the rides and kms when the odometre cable broke |
the smart phones have revolutionized, and been successfully trying to integrate the local small businesses into the corporate web with angel investor pumping in million dollars. Fueling aspirations of the 'young' enterprising guys who have been able to identify and grab the opportunity to make it BIG.. one such and my another first was the OYO Rooms experience..
not so good a experience of the stay per se, but what really amazed me and got me thinking how a single thought can become and lead to big chain of events, creating it a industry by itself..
day2- ride from ahmedabad to dholavira.. some 300 odd kms thru the state highway. Smooth straight roads, boring and monotonous at times. Passing thru some some small villages and seeing the way things have changed 'for bad' according to me, due to the exposure of digital channels and smart phones. People have started to loose their identity, thinking and trying to look and do as the west does.. a miserable mistake.
Reached Dholavira tired exhausted after two days of riding around 850+ kms..
