A Drifter's Photologue - Malshej Ghat

Photologue 1 - Malshej Ghat



Ahem… Hello world! *Half-hearted smile* Welcome to ‘this-side-of-my-world’! *Weird hand gesture*

Uh, I’m sure it has been a rough year so far for everyone. It, definitely, has been for me. While I have been trying my best to make the most of what it offers, I surely miss those road trips I used to be on.

Um, why do you seem so confused, gentle reader?! Oh, you are wondering who I am?

Ohkay, maybe I should have started with my introduction first, like I practiced all of yester-night and the whole of last week. *Sigh* Strength. No fear. *Whispering*

Hmm, well, curious reader, I’m Cyber Sam. An ardent fan of this forum for a decade; An active reader from last 5 years and finally a member of this esteemed community since less than a month. And, may be, a little nervous since the last 5 mins.

Well, I’m an avid biker and car enthusiast too. I love road trips/traveling. It used to be solo rides, previously. However, now that I am happily married, I love spending my time on the road with my partner. Um, I’m also a movie-buff. * Nope, you’ve messed up the flow already, talking about the movies now. Just wrap it up, already. Please. *

Okay! So, in short, morbidly confused by birth, a software engineer by profession and a clueless blogger by heart.

Now, coming back to what I was saying. Road trips. I miss them. Ever since the pandemic, I have barely stepped out of my house. Saturdays have only been limited to the cursory grocery and chemist store trips with the missus. While I spend all my Sunday being worried if I may have caught the virus. And amidst all of this chaos, I miss those monsoon drives/rides, winding roads, fresh air, lush green scenic routes, rain drops hitting my helmet visor, the Ambipur car freshener which only kicks in after spending 20 mins in our Honda City, my KTM RC 390’s crow-cawing-like sound on the open highways… Man! I miss all of these and more!

Since I cannot go on road trips and make new memories. Here, I present to you one of my old memories. This one was an impulsive monsoon road trip on my KTM RC 390 to the Malshej Ghat, a couple of years ago. I had always wanted to share these memories on this forum but I never really could do it. Well, better late than never, I guess.

Now, already-disinterested reader, I have taken up to creating this post after 4 years of not putting my head to writing. So, if I have made any mistakes in this post then forgive me for my rustiness.

The snaps (taken from a fully drenched Nokia Lumia 1020) don’t do true justice to the beauty of this place; with that out of the way and no further ado, here is the photologue of my visit to Malshej Ghat.

See you on the other side.

Thanks @earthian for the kind words. I'm sorry about the missing captions. Will definitely do it, going forward, in all my future posts.

Thanks again, everyone!

Re: A Drifter's Photologue - Malshej Ghat

Welcome to TBhp. Excellent photos. This is really a good thing you did by writing a short note and posting the pictures. This way you atleast made a start. I failed to write a travelogue even after so many years, just because I was planning an elaborate one . Should take a cue from you...
