Planning
There was a marriage in family coming up in Dec 2010 at Katni in Madhya Pradesh which is about 950 kms from Vadodara. I planned a biking trip to attend the marriage and researched all routes with detail. Then one day my elder cousin brother called and told me that he was counting on me to help him manage the travelling of marriage party to and fro by train. This put an immediate end to my planning. I had read some where – “Do not plan, it makes God laugh”
As the end
of calendar year was approaching I had an intense desire to go on a bike trip. I
deviously planned and sent my wife to home in Thane at the year end. I was not
able to manage long leave so decided to visit near by places. Udaipur I had already traveled, west Gujarat could wait as I had better plans
for it, didn’t want to go to Madhya Pradesh side due to emotions of previous
planning failure, so after some more searching I decided upon Saputara. And this
time there was no need to think which bike to take.
