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!
