Benja: When the dust clears...

Mumbai Travel Blog › entry 21 of 22 › view all entries

In a idea more ridiculous than a one legged man entering an ass kicking contest, 8 of your friends are attempting a 2,000km crossing of India in autorickshaws. Cross country. In monsoon season. Setting off from Chennai, wrestling with the brutal power of 150cc's of quality Indian engineering and heading west. 2 weeks away is Mumbai. The only thing between us and the finish is a shortage of roads, mechanical failure, malaria, cholera, monsoon rain and the lack of a decent steak.
