Who's Who of the trip

Just remembered that I have not introduced the stupid seven that went out on this trip. So here is a picture that we took with our rides at Khardung la.

From Left to Right: Vinod: The mechanic. Well, only he knows where to look and what to look for when there is a problem. He was a last minute addition to the trip. Couldn't imagine we compelting the trip without him.

Chandru : Shanthi's friend and collage mate from Coimbatore. Now he lives and works in Chennai.

Srini : Chandru's brother. A very bold driver of the bike. Has a little bit of problem in overtaking lorries, though. Still believes, it is ok to overtake in turns.

Roop : I still have not figured out if he is a cool dude or just slow. You really do not want to mess with this guy or his logical thinking. Slow and steady is his motto. When in a fix, you want to listen to him.

Shanthi : The only girl in the group and Jomy's wife. The entire trip she was driving ... er.. back-seat driving, to be precise. She was Roop's pillion. She was the team's manager and having wholesale fun.

Myself : The cool dude.

Jomy: Another cool dude. Amazing guy this one. He was eating clutch plates for breakfast and lunch, but never gave up driving the bike. Such is his passion.
