Its been a good year

hmmm its that time of the year again...nip in the air....festivities around...pretty girls with pink cheeks and red mufflers , hot masala chai , fogy mornings the third dimension full on…..

Its been a good year...i lived like an explorer ,explored landscapes overwhelming ,cultures hard hitting ,thoughts perplexing, emotion bordering love and hate.....Its been a good year.

Trail running in the Phoenix mountains, early morning American breakfasts with Ridhi, driving middle of the night through a crazy landscape in an unknown country riding high on emotions, the grandeur of the Canyon , Vegas baby Vegas, New York Summer, fresh juice in Phil’s cafe , rounds of the central park reservoir, Mona and cafe lalo ,Sherry and our smoking up sessions , the ever so pretty Deeksha at Hudson bay,,, Its been a good year

Landing at the highest civilian airstrip, discussing a trip to Everest over masala omelets ,momos at Penguin garden cafe , road to kargil ,mind-blowing Zanskar glacier ,cricket at 14000 ft , rafting in gods own land for 4 days through the craziest landscape my eyes have ever witnessed...boy bonding full on , the mother of all rapids , the feeling of you might not live the next moment , bluest highest saltwater lake , banofy pies and chilled beers lamas and spirituality ........Its been a good year.

Egg benedicts at Nighlath , Himalayas from Hartola , smoking up at 6 in the morning , green tea and the French doctor …guitar sessions and barbeques topped with jacko and cokes…steamed fish , goan fish , masala fish , basil and tomato fish…. Its been a good year.

Running and the love of it , 10 k's and 15 k's , cramps and the cruel runner’s nipple , beers and tikkas at the end of our runs...my Reeboks and over used Nano....21k in 2hrs 40 minutes , ,.Amir khan’s 8 packs, inspiration to have at least six , killer workouts , being fitter then ever before , believing in the secret…. feeling like a rock star ....Oh its been a good year

Little Love, lots of love, confused love, complicated love, well it’s been a good year……
