Riding under the Blue Skies

On a beautiful Saturday morning, I geared up and revved up for the ride to Palghar.

As I revved up my engine and hit the road and and left the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway from Varai junction, the clear blue sky above welcomed me with open arms. The sun bathed the landscape in a warm glow, creating a magical ambiance. 

With every twist and turn, the anticipation grew as I approached Kamare, a hidden gem known for its captivating beauty.

As I rode closer, the reflections came into view. Crystal-clear water mirrored the sky above, creating a stunning visual symphony. The sky's vibrant hues danced on the water's surface, making it hard to distinguish where the heavens ended and the earth began. It was a moment of pure bliss, and I couldn't help but capture it through my lens.

With each photograph, I aimed to capture the essence of this extraordinary experience. The vivid blue sky stretched endlessly, inviting me to dream bigger and explore further. The reflection added an extra touch of enchantment, as if nature herself had painted a masterpiece just for me.

The open road seemed to guide me through this heavenly scene. As I leaned into each turn, a sense of exhilaration washed over me. The wind whispered tales of adventure, and the sound of my engine became a symphony in harmony with the surrounding nature.

I stopped at various viewpoints, taking in the breathtaking panoramas that unfolded before me. From towering mountains to lush green valleys, each frame showcased the diverse beauty of Kamare. And amidst it all, the reflection remained, a constant reminder of the serenity and wonder that awaited me.

As I reflect upon these images, I am reminded of the joys of exploration, the thrill of the ride, and the enchantment of discovering new horizons. Kamare, Palghar, has left an indelible mark on my soul, and I hope these photographs ignite a sense of wanderlust within you too.

Let's embrace the beauty of the world, immerse ourselves in its wonders, and discover the magic that awaits us in every corner.

Until our next adventure, keep chasing the blue skies and captivating reflections that make life truly extraordinary. 🏍

A Father-Daughter Adventure on Two Wheels

It’s a hot summer in Mumbai this year, with the heat wave clocking the temperature to 45 degrees Celsius. However, the promise of an adventure on a long weekend made the heat more bearable. On 20th May 2024, Election Day in Mumbai, we had to fulfil our civic duty by voting, so we decided to escape the city for a short ride on Sunday, 19 th May 2024. Our destination was Sinchian Lake, 74 km away. This was going to be a special trip, as it was my daughter Heer’s first long ride on a motorcycle with me without her mother. Gearing Up All geared up with riding jackets, helmets, elbow guards, knee guards, and gloves, we left at 4:00 p.m. to avoid the harshest heat. The Google map showed 74 km and 1hr 47 mins to Sinchian Lake in Maharashtra's Saphale, Palghar district. My only concern was Heer may feel sleepy during the ride, so we carried a Bluetooth speaker since she loves music. The Journey Begins   The journey began, and Heer was filled with excitement. We cruised at a comforta...

One Ride, Many Stories - My Solo Ride to Trimbakeshwar

A Journey with Metgezel It had been a long time since I embarked on a solo bike trip with "Metgezel," my trusty Bajaj Avenger Cruiser. The name Metgezel —Dutch for "companion"—perfectly captures the bond between a rider and their bike.  The day of the ride was special—it was Guru Nanak Jayanti and Kartik Purnima, although I only learned about their significance after reaching Trimbakeshwar. But before diving into the spiritual aspect, let me take you through the adventure.   The Day Before the Ride Every biker knows a long ride isn’t just about waking up and hitting the road. It’s a ritual to get ready with the riding gear—jacket, gloves, helmet, knee pads, and shoes—felt like a warrior's armour. My daughter, amused by my preparations, asked, “Pappa, whose wedding are you going to?” She missed the earlier scene where I was lovingly cleaning Metgezel!   The Departure: Mumbai to Jawhar Winter mornings make it tempting to stay in bed, but excitement nudged me u...

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're married, you've 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 ro...
