for it has been accumulated over more than 500kms of distance covered in the lap of Southern Himalayan Ranges,
in the heavy rains,
in the heavy fog,
in the b'ful scenic valleys, peaks, gorges, grasslands, forest, fog
& in the chilling temps (strangely in the middle of Aug'23 when we are all suffering from humid & hot weather, we were literally shivering in Cherapunjee - en route Nartiang & even in Meghalaya we used to have Moti Rajai in the night).
This dirt is good for it has strengthened the bond with my cousin (may be for the first time in the life) & helped me bonding with the nature, our people, our land, our landscapes, our food, our air, our water & our temples.
This dirt is good for it has challenged my physical limits & help building up my endurance (of my bike too 🤣🤣).
This dirt is good for it has rejuvenated & energized me,
for it rattled the inertia of my body , thoughts & emotions & keeping the curious & adventurous of me alive in me.
This dirt is good & I would love to accumulate it more, more often, again & again.
