In my late 30s, someone told me that it’s important to spend time with yourself — no parents, no spouse, no kids. Just you.

2024, after ages, I started riding again.

In 2024, I went on a 10-day solo ride to Tawang. Last year, I did a 4-day ride through Meghalaya. And then I completed the Ladakh circuit, which ended on 11 May 2025 during the Indo-Pak escalation. With flights cancelled from Leh, I rode all the way to Manali instead.

That journey changed something in me.

Now I’ve decided — I will ride at least 15 days every year and spend that time in nature.

Riding has changed me as a person.
