Anybody seeen maa baybeee?

A few weeks ago after roaming the northern frontiers on my trusty steed, I attempted to load "cockroach" on to a train back to Bangalore. Unfortunately my motorbike papers look like the Rig Veda and the officials laughed me out of the railway station. No problem, said cousin Ambu who was our host in Delhi, we'll just load it on to a truck and send it back later. You carry on, he added in a smooth and comforting voice. And I did. Unfortunately the truckers in Delhi have gone equally mad and more complications keep piling on. As a result I am in Bangalore while the motorbike continues to languish in Delhi. I'm told the poor thing hasn't eaten in days and refuses to start. Situation difficult. But don't worry M, a secret rescue mission is being planned this weekend, hold on cockroach, I'm coming...

Originally from New York but mostly in India the last couple of years or so, we now have Debski on our boat. She was with the boys and girls of the Himalayan expedition detailed below but she's now back in the big apple. Probably the most transitory character of the moment, welcome to the blog Debski!
