This book is a travelogue about a journey made on giant bikes by two friends.
I liked reading this short book where the author has captured his journey through hundreds of kilometers across different cities and rural places of South India like Chennai , Devangiri , Belagavi meeting different people in its course. From meeting old friends to new , facing uncertainty, sleeping at risky places at night and even meeting life threatening events . For few , bike riding is a passion .
I feel it's a risky one . It needs great physical health and mental attentiveness . After reading this book I understood not only it is an adventurous sports , but it opens a door to soul introspection where all the insecurities , fears are kept.
Also, this journey showcased the value of trust , friendship , being patient , understanding one's own capabilities and handling difficult situations together and being brave. Throughout the journey, the beauty of untouched nature was also put forward by author and his friend Varun whenever they came across it like during sunrise and sunset .
Black and white pictures in the chapters made me feel more connected. The connection with Natasha was subtle yet emotionally attached.
I liked reading about the warmhearted taxi driver, hackling police , the Tamil man's gentleman ship in the end and lurking grim corruption , also about the local cuisines.
Altogether it was a fresh read for me . Short , crisp and interesting.
