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 . Though I had surprised Heer with this bike on her birthday and we had enjoyed a few short-day rides, this one was going to be our first overnight trip. A proper father–daughter escape. Just us, the road, and the Yez...

Ek Ride, Ek Sunrise… Aur Khud Se Ek Mulakaat

“Kuch safar destination tak nahi le jaate… woh humein thoda sa humse milwa kar wapas laate hain.” “Bhai, sunrise miss mat karna. Mountains ke beech se jo sunrise dikhta hai na, woh worth the ride hai.” I had been planning to visit Upper Vaitarna for some time, but this time there was a very specific reason behind the plan. A few fellow riders from my riding group had been there earlier, and they kept talking about one thing the sunrise. That line stayed with me. Upper Vaitarna was almost a three-hour ride for me, which meant there was only one option if I wanted to experience that sunrise properly, leave ridiculously early at 3:30am. At that hour, the city would still be sleeping. Roads would be almost empty. And somewhere in the darkness, I would be riding towards a sunrise I had only heard about. Honestly, I didn't know whether the sunrise would really be that special. But I was curious. And sometimes, curiosity is all you need to start a journey. So, at 3:30 AM, while most of ...

The Road Trip to Kutch, Gujarat

When boys are planning a road trip, the first image that comes to mind is often from the movie "Dil Chahta Hai." Ahh, that’s for the bachelors. When married men plan a trip, it's more like "Biwi Kya Chahti Hai." 😉 If you are married, you have probably been in the same boat as we three were when we were planning our epic road trip to Kutch. Here's a photo of us three, posing at Khari Bet - from left to right: Brijesh, Nilay and Nikhil. 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...
