Two wheeling across a beautiful piece of land called India, I explore the colourful landscapes, epic roads and the distinct sights and sounds of a country that is unique in every single way...

Guthrie Govan concert in Mumbai

From the moment I got the email from Bhargava's telling me about the gig, I knew I couldn't afford to miss perhaps the only chance I'd get to see one of the world's greatest guitar players live. And it was a free concert too. The four hours just flew by, and Guthrie blew my mind away with every note he picked with his god-like technique and virtuosity. It's been a night I will never forget. I even managed to get a picture with him to savour all the pretty memories.

I still can't believe I saw the man live and met him in the flesh. What a fantastic weekend, literally! I am very content with the universe today. =)

To end the perfect day, I went for a drive with my cousin to Nariman Point and managed to click the Queen's Necklace in it's sparkling yellow beauty.

I wish I could stay in this wonderful city a while longer and attend Gino Banks' drum workshop in Furtado's tomorrow, but unfortunately I have a jam session at 4pm in Pune so maybe next time. Here's to a lovely day! Thank you Guthrie Govan. =)

Alibag

Took an early morning (4am) trip, yesterday to Alibag and some other places nearby. I managed to catch a beautiful sunrise and a whole bunch of pre-monsoonal bliss. It did rain a little bit but it was very welcome. NH17 is always a pleasure!


The roads weren't too bad either and I got there pretty fast. I even found time to do some off-roading!

Fortunately my tyre got punctured not here, but back home in Pune, later, the very same day.

And, ofcourse, there were the amazing beaches. My bike clicked this one. You can see the Alibag fort in the background.

Look ma, no stand! Yeah, it got stuck there for a while and I almost slipped and fell off trying to get it back onto solid ground.

The beach at Revdanda and the SAND-PAINTINGS!


I really want to do this trip again, anyone up? =)
