अधोलोक में?
चलो, वहीं जाना होगा तो वहीं सही।
जितनी तेज़ चलेंगे,
यह राह बचेगी उतनी थोड़ी।
जो विलमते, पड़ाव करते पैदल जाएँगे
जाएँ-हम-तुम क्यों न कर लें सवारी के लिए घोड़ी?

Third day from Phuenstoling started late as we all were in the hangover of last night . Idea was to reach Paro safe and yes it was my birthday .... A journey that is unknown , unpredictable and with challenges that we have all seen. Everyone started the day with a prayer ... prayer to see more and more adventure given the same kind of team effort that we had shown last night. 

Phuenstoling to Paro is about 175 kms ..... and we kick started around 1 PM and we planned to reach Paro by 7 PM. Well this was the day every body was waiting for, best views of Bhutan , best of the forests, no honking, no traffic and best part from our side was that we synchronized in the best possible way. One Hutchback followed by 7 bikes and then an SUV. We took breaks had lunch , snacks and lot of selfies....... I cannot forget Priyanka and Murari for their ,maiden efforts to take selfies at almost all stops. Our team had a lot of photographers to capture the moments .... so a stop resulted in a prolonged photo shoot and modeling event .... GBs of clicks and with 1000s of poses by almost everyone .... We saw some beautiful waterfalls and lush green mountains. 

I was sitting in the SUV behind with Ekta Shoubhik and Ishan.... I was lost for more than few hours thinking about the the travel... I wanted the same life were I worry more about the travel than destination, care less about the traffic than ride, worry more about the team than myself , respect time more than anything else ..... yes I was been taught by the nature and suddenly I started a second journey .... Journey to know oneself .... "यात्रा ही यात्री का मोक्ष होता हॅ"

The Journey was long and our all experienced drives showed their best talent on the turning mountains and we reached Paro around 7 PM . After a bit of struggle to find rooms we continued in a hotel were we took our evening snacks at a very affordable rate. So done a day gone in journey we reached paro so lets go to sleep ???

How can it be possible .... It was my birthday and the same week we had two more birthdays "Priti" and "Abheek".

So the party was planned and we all enjoyed like anything ...birthday celebration with friends and that too 20 in numbers ... I couldnt have asked for anything more ... Thank u God !!!

Lets go to sleep and Murari bhai will continue playing Mafia in a room .... One skill set that was added in everyone's resume.
