The Yezdi That Carried Two Souls & One Childhood

It’s been forever since I wrote a blog, but this ride with Heer deserved its own place in words. There comes a moment in every father’s life when he looks at his daughter, realises she is no longer the little girl who once held his finger to cross the street, and his heart gently whispers, she’s growing up . Btw she is 12 so far, thoda emotional hogaya 😊 That moment came to me on a quiet Friday night, October 24, 2025, when Heer and I sat chatting after dinner, laughing at random things, and sharing stories the way old friends do. And it was in that simple, warm moment that a sudden thought turned into an adventure, our first long bike trip together. This wasn’t just any trip. It was the first expedition with the newest member of our family, the Yezdi Adventure .

Just us, the road, and the Yez...

We intentionally chose weekdays for our adventure to ensure empty roads and fewer crowds at the places we intended to visit. The journey began from Mumbai on a sunny Monday morning, with my trusty companion, a Hyundai i20. Day 1: From Mumbai to Samakhiali We departed from Mumbai early in the morning, embarking on a drive of over 700 km, until we reached Samakhiali. Our overnight stay was at a Jain Temple, which, as it turned out, was a great choice for a comfortable rest stop. If you're planning to stay en route t...
