Part Three
From CHittorgarh, I rode out to Sri Ganganagar, where an old army frind was posted. We were so busy catching up with old and new times that I clean forgot to take any pics.
Then to Kasauli on 28 Feb. The meet was the Wood Creek Resorts in Sanawar.

Kasuali town at night.
On 03 Mar, I started the return journey. Stopped over in Noida, near New Delhi, to meet an old friend, Colonel Rakesh Trivedi of my unit. His flat is near the Noida park, a nice place to walk and jog.

On the road again and I halted for the night at a place between Gwalior and Shivpuri.
I had stepped out of my room to stretch my legs when I saw a V Strom 650 being unloaded, so ran to the help of the rider. He was Altaf Lokhandwala from Mumbai. Had a nice drink and chat with him in the evening.

Reached home at about 1940h on 12 Mar after three weeks on the road. I had to cancell Dehradun and Delhi due to a bad tummy infection and some type of plantar fasciatis in the ride foot.
