A solo motorcycle ride across India, and into Bhutan,
becomes much more than just a test of physical endurance
when 57-year-old, Pune-based, speech therapist Ajit
Harisinghani decides to go in the pursuit of that most
elusive of all human desires -Happiness.
With the idea of Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness on
his mind, he traverses a potpourri of terrain; riding through
landscapes that change daily. From arid land to verdant
fields, from jungles with glimpses of elephants and tigers
to tea gardens…
Along the way, he meets a yogi and his singing goat, explores
ancient caves, is frightened in a wild life sanctuary, sees a
schizophrenic bicycle and helps a police inspector overcome
his stammering problem. A variety of experiences later, he
is finally in Thimpu where a Buddhist monk reveals the
road-map to being happy.
A funny, honest and entertaining real-life adventure story
that promises to surprise, shock and perhaps even liberate!
