Twice on our way to pune I had a flat tire, both on the side she was sitting on. The third time I had the brains to make her sit in the middle rear seat, lo n behold we reached without any punctures or leaks. ‘Minus the silencer and the leaked spare tire in the boot’. Dam those pastas n pizzas. Other than that we haven't really traveled together extensively just local trips, because of our professional commitments. But i have traveled extensively all over India barring a few southern states. I got to travel alot thanks to my dad who's in the army. Travel for me is having a great time, immersing myself into whatever happens, which normally includes great food, culture, meeting local people , surviving suicidal taxi walla's, sitting on farting camels, surviving death threats from locals, having my shoes stolen outside temples etc. My latest trip to orissa was a culmination of all things mentioned above except the farting camels, which were replaced by farting people. The trek into tribal heartland of dhenkanal, the dive into a bush at the sound of a gunshot (also a naxal playground) only to find my self stung by monster rock bee’s. My local friend Gaya Ram found this amusing until of course a bee stung him on his already big nose. I am sure the state police will have a new job for him, now that he is armed with a brand new 'SNIFFER'. Well "thats all folks"
