Riding Solo To The Top Of The World
Yesterday evening had gone to the screening of ‘Riding Solo To the Top Of The world’ By ‘Gaurav Jani’.
I just knew that this was a film by some person who had gone to Ladakah alone one his Bike. I had absolutely no idea what was to come next, though I all excited about the bike ride details etc.
Here are few of the details about where it happened.
6th September 2009
6:30 PM onwards
Kalaprasad Mangal Karyalaya and lodge
(Behind SP College), Pune, Maharashtra India.
The screening of this award winning film was supposed to start at 6:30 PM, but due to outside light we waited for another 15 minutes or so to get dark enough to have a nice viewing environment.
The movie start From Delhi where Gaurav J leaves his home, all geared up for the Journey…. and then its is a complete mesmerizing experience of months of details and experieneces covered by a single man in next 1 and 1/2 hours of screening.
Well if you are expecting me to tell you the details over here… I am sorry i cannot do it in any words… Gaurav has done a truly wonderful work, and I cannot do any justice to it by trying to write it down and explaining his journey with a meager blog entry.
Gaurav This is for you:
Gaurav Jani
“I have seen this particular series on ‘Discovery’ Channel called survivor man, where this preson is dropped in difficult terrains and left with minimal gear and has to survive for next 7 days. I have always seen these kinds of series, though they have been inspirations, but since all these and in foreign land and foreign people, I could never associate myself with it any time.
After have seen your work, I feel really really proud, yes there is potential here and I have found “My Survivor Man” in my country, Hats of to you Gaurav Jani.”
Well after this movie screening it was announced that due to large request they will be screening another movie “One Crazy Ride” again (it was shown one day before). Wow what else would you need, a free movie screening, and then one more announcements the organizers had arranged refreshments for the audience. This only show one thing about my country a true hospitality, It felt great that we were treated at guest and not just audience over there,
My sincere thanks to the organizers for providing the space and refreshments and moreover making us feel at home.
About “One Crazy Ride”. Well this was another 1 and 1/2 hour of breath taking experience, where these five riders (Nicolitta Pereira, Vinod Panicker, Sanjeev Sharma, Gursaurabh Singh Toor and Gaurav Jani) take on the North east Indian state of Arunanchal Pradesh via an uncharted route, i.e non existent on any maps.
Again I will probably do no justice by trying to jot down any of this on my own.
So how do you get you hands on these two movies. Log on to http://DirtTrackProductions.com and get the same. My Request do buy the movies, If you love riding you will love this too.
I would also like to thank the people who are behind editing and creating the nice DVD’s.
Thanks to my friend Amit Agrawal for giving me the info about the screening of the movie and pushing me to come to the same 
No more word…

From One Gaurav to Another.
You made me proud.
