Opening Credits

A trip through Kashmir and Ladakh!

Now, who in their right mind would ever pass up such an opportunity?!? This was a dream-come-true for four guys(and a girl). The very idea of such a trip was put up by Aanj...no doubt inspired by the movie "Lakshya"(of course it "is" true that traffic at Leh has increased since the film's release). I mean who wouldn't want to experience Kashmir and Ladakh after just seeing the opening credits of the movie?!? Those winding roads looping around the mountains are enough to send a guy gunning for his bike/jeep and a road!

Floated by Aanj at Yarda beach in Vizag, he found like minded people in Karoo, Arjun, and Charas. It was after all, a trip that had the potential to top all trips(both figuratively and literally!!!). It was all we could talk about, and for the next six months that's what we did. This went to the extent that we had to keep off the topic to prevent a burn-out before we even booked tickets!

I was waiting for the call. The call that would confirm that we were actually going on this trip...and when it did come, I faced the difficult task of convincing my dad to let me go. His argument being that it just wasn't safe! A war in silence ensued from which your's truly emerged victorious...as well as relieved!

...Now I just have to wait it out till 9th June!
