Re: McLeod Ganj with friends and a wedding in Himachal Pradesh

very well written "the_skyliner" , you have a way with words, and an impeccable sense of humour. LOLed a lot reading this ; could relate with many of the 'incidents' and 'decisions' as I have had my share of boys-gang-out trips.

Here are few clips from the shorter route captured during my drive. Yes, this route is not an easy one, especially with traffic on both sides. Local taxis will keep pushing you from behind.
Thanks, arun_josie for sharing the clips. You have captured the challenging terrain and traffic perfectly. In the last clip, I can see the hotel where we staying around 1:30s in the video.

Thanks. After looking at clips from arun_josie, it's clear that the decision was a correct one.

Will surely do this in the next trip.

Then started a marathon of putting stones in front of the wheels revving the car to max, half-clutching and what not. All this was absolutely unnecessary. Something which our friend never accepted.
We always listen to family(read as wife) but never listen to friends
And these mess is all that leaves a great memory for life and friendship.
To conclude, men will always be men.
Thanks for the travelogue bro with beautiful narration in the form of a tale.

- 17 notifications on the screen
- Closed them all and by mistake press select on one of them
- Enter some unknown app
- Exit the app
- Locate camera
- Enter video mode
- Exit camera app
- Enter camera app
- Deer gone
I actually imagined this scene and started laughing while my wife who was standing on the other side of the room had some weird expressions for me!!

A great travelogue and as many already pointed out, great MS Paint or I must say artistic skills!!

Cheers!

Issue is that the ladies think it's the other way round.

Superb & Hilarious write up the_skyliner. No pictures of the Guy Gang ? It looks like an awsome trip.
