India is quite an amazing country I think. Where else would you have everyone harping on getting an Italian to become the Prime Minister of India .. and then her refusing to head the government . Politics used to be dull... but this time I am finding it very interesting.

History says it all. Countless generations of foreigners came to india. Made it their home. Ruled it. But ultimately they become indians. The pull of india is just too great to ignore.

Most Indian's try to flee from India to greener pastures (US/UK/Australia), but I feel that they just have not seen anything in India to want to go across to these other countries. I run a biking site (bikenomads) where we get together on our bikes and tour various parts of india . And the more I see the more I get amazed with the diversity and the colours of India.

India is amazing !

Its been a long time since i posted anything here. Guess I am just not the blogging kinds.

The GOA trip was fanstastic. Covered 2300kms on that trip. Did 860kms of that in 1 day where we covered the distance from Bangalore to Pune in 18 hours.

Now the rains have started so I am not going to go for very long rides. The bike's rear tyres were treadless, so i got it a new tyre - the pirelli sports demon. Neat ! Only problem - i can't ride in the rain as the bike is refusing to take to the rain and stalls all the time. Given it for servicing and will probably get it back tomorrow - then let me see what happens.
