My travel from Shillong Meghalaya towards Kolkatta and further

It was sad day for me to start my journey from northeast i wanted to stay for 2 days in Shillong but i stayed 14days though with blessings of god and help of friends mark and andy ... now it was time to move on there were two reason for for me to be sad first i was leaving beautiful places in northeast and other was entering rest of India ...with dust heat till the time i reach south again.....but food was my main attract5ion as i was entering Kolkata the land of food...:)....
journey was long and hard but the aim for food kept me going .....first night i stayed at cooch behar on the way to kolkatta and next night was in kolkatta thanks to prasun shaw and sambya to receive me on highway at night 2 ...my stay in kolkata was more or less relaxed and meeting friends sleeping visitng places across and off course eating...even i was up at 5 to taste street food where Chinese people put their stalls road side early morning of momoes and many more what all i ate....i dont have much pics from this trip as was not well was down with fever and also there was not much natural beauty i saw on the way.....anyways enjoy what i clicked ...












Now after spending good time in kolkata with friends i was off to ranchi , jharkhand again the journey was painfull...;D as no good food on the way but reaching ranchi was relaxing i never expected a big gathering to welcome me ....i was feeling shy as they wanted to cut cake and they called local newspapers also...i said i will not give interview as i am doing it for myself not for any fame .... they agreed but cake was cut by one of their member..then we head for party and you know when bikers party there is no tomm. and it was proved again i wanted to leave the next day but party and hangover made me stay one more day before leaving for raipur, chattisghar ...now this day i dont forget as i almost saved my ass for getting stuck without petrol all by gods grace ...the day i left ranchi i though petrol will not be a problem i started with whatever petrol i had and then after reaching more than 100km the call for petrol came so i stoped at petrol pump but they said no petrol and then the panic about happen when i went to almost 12 petrol pumps and same line i heard.... and reserve was also giving up ...finally by gods grace i stoped at petrol pump where many turcks were standing i asked him first he said no then i requested that i am coming from long way and have to go long then he agreed to fill it up but told me not to tell anybody from where i got petrol as it was naxal band that day as they were opposing some minister coming from delhi so they closed all petrolpumps ..thanks to that guy my day was saved from getting screwed...anyways ...i reached someplace which was 100 km from raipur and decided to halt so that can meet the riders in raipur fresh and can party more...;D....what to do that was the motivation ...the BEER...and party and meeting friends...;D...




Now from here the land of maharashtra was starting was excited to reach ghats ....will post soon ....
