I have been using the tripod as per link above. It was a good companion for a couple of trips - survived through many falls during bike ride to Ladakh, kept my back straight during Goechala treks and many more smallish trips and treks.
But this month, on a chilly morning near Snowline cafe (a few hrs ahead of Triund), it said goodbye. One of the arms cracked, yeps, cracked!

So, now I am looking for a new, and...

Before I start with the review, I just wanted to tell a small story how it all started.

I was in 11th standard when my father bought a second hand Royal Enfield Machismo. It was bought from my cousin brother-in-law who had bought it in U.P. and within two week's time after he purchased the bull, met with an accident and fractured his left arm. My cousin sister insisted to sell off the Machismo since she felt that it was too heavy for her hubby to ride. My elder brother, who was a fanatic...

Hi everyone, i had an opportunity to travel in a Volvo B9R (Multi Axle) from Chennai to Trivandrum last week and i bet this was easily the best of all buses.

While travelling, in noticed that no other bus dared to challenge this monster machine.

I could see all the other vehicles except some faster cars stepped aside to leave way for this bus.

Coming to interior, it was great. The ride was so smooth even when the driver hit 120 in speedo, the seat and leg space were so comfortable...

Hi All,

I last visited Shri Hemkund Sahib in October 2012. Then there were plans to visit in 2013 again but, the natural calamity caused during that year, ruined the plans for 2013. And in 2014 because family and friends were not up due the news about bad roads and weather conditions.

This year I chit chatted with frnds&family but, none were up due to their own busy schedules and it seems to me that there are no possibilities for me to go to the darshans if I wait for others to join in....
