He has an older sister and twin brother. He studied law and works full time when he is not on his motorcycle. He completed a nine day road trip in June through the Himalayan Mountains with three good friends. The plan to write this book was envisioned by him, even before they started on the trip, primarily, because it is an experience he never wants to forget and secondarily because there is very little text available regarding a road trip covering the route the four friends took. He currently resides in Hyderabad, India and saw this as an opportunity to spread the word about the joys of motorcycling in India. There is very precious little written about the many beautiful roads and places that are there in India. He wishes to bring a change about the way India is perceived and hope more and more people come from around the world to ride our roads, meet the people and take back home with them an exhilarating experience. Ride safely, live well.view less
