its not about who wins or loses, its about passion for the sport....

back from the most fantabulous (spelling?) trip of my life to Saklespur. Near Coorg, if you are not from these parts. On work. Which I initially complained and cribbed about for a bit but now that I'm back, the glow is still going strong.....
it was this car rally with about 45 odd guys in jeeps going through some of the craziest territory. Through virgin forest, mud roads, tracks barely wide enough for one jeep to pass through, tea estates, lakes, ponds, slush. In pouring rain, in barely there drizzle. In absolute peace, fresh air and the most awesome stretch of the Western Ghats you can think of. And I rode standing up in an old battered up jeep for most of the over 5 hr journey for the sheer pleasure of it...
cant wait for the next "Off track rally"...its in Goa apparently. This is the part where be a journalist is beginning to pay off....
