Ghumakkar's Diary

Short of time preparing for the Zanskar trip , I thought to at least share the Speedfest pictures. So here is the Photo-story of the event... Party Meet was at Grand Hyatt, thrown organised by Vodafone with the Indiblogger for the Bloggers with an opportunity to meet Lewis Hamilton and win a chance to have a ride with him... "Thirty seconds to fame: ran longer than in my previous meet, and I had an opportunity to know many a faces... Alas, I didn't get chance to speak out :/ Then came the famous Indiblogger Hud-hud moment and we hugged as many bloggers as we could (shy I wanted to kiss a few of fair sex bloggers ;)  Finally, got moments to touch and click the shots of the "Chief Guest of the Day", the "Mercedes McLaren F1 ", here are a few shots to reveal her beauty....sure to some extent only :) Super busy Lewis Hamilton arrived little late and was truly 'center of attraction', th...

  I am the biggest Indian fan of F1… I have been following moto racing since I was just a kid…. I know each and every stat of F1 , Moto GP, all the racing circuits by heart… Whatever, I may write, I know and would prove within no time, that am mostly alien to sports and F1 is just one of them.

Money was at least that I needed to reach the point where I may have to finally decide, whether to go back to civilization or just move ahead wandering! I put those earthly things somewhere in my satchel, sort of dumped, and switched off. Whether to go back to civilization or just move ahead wandering Every end finally disappears into a new start. That I have learnt a zillionth times in my life. Probably, am the man who learns by experiencing; certainly, otherwise I would have been Chanakya , who once said, life is too small to learn from our own mistakes, so I read from others . Am just a commoner, with my share of sins and other, to say, moral activities. ...
