July 2009. Here are I sitting at my desk, behind my laptop and checking out who's online, chatting with friends that are free and simply connecting and catching up with everything I can manage to. I've just had my cup of tea, there's a slight drizzle out of the window and I think I may just take my shiny Firefox bicycle (courtesy, Joshua Correa) out for a ride up the hills. And maybe when I'm back, I'll catch a movie or spend some time learning Spanish (I aim to speak it well by September).
This is pretty much what my average days are like now, unless I'm out of town on an adventure trip, or out organizing an event, or travelling on corporate consulting project. Yup! That's what I do... I travel, play and perform alternate sports actively and work around 8-10 days a month to sustain my life. Along with this I'm also actively writing, offline and online, on my activity and shortly plan to take this to television too.
Here's a short list on my activities in the past year:
- Back packing trips: West Coast, India (headed South from Mumbai), North India (covering Uttaranchal, Himachal Pradesh & Delhi NCR)
- 13 treks; in & around Maharashtra (Nature Knights)
- Mountaineering camps & training for members of Nature Knights in Mumbai and Ratnagiri
- Rafting trips, both organized and for leisure, to Kundalika (Kolhad) on a fortnightly basis
- Mountain biking expedition to Jalori Pass, Himachal Pradesh with YHAI
- Extreme sports at Cape Town, South Africa
- Training programs; outbound, behavioural, functional, strategic and corporate with DOOR Training & Consulting at various locations across India and abroad
- Television (you'll see me on air in September) - Stay tuned for more updates!
There's so much more I want to do though. So much to see, places to go, and things to accomplish! One of the things I want to do course in sailing. I plan on shortly starting a full-fledged extreme sports company that facilitates alternate sports in India and makes it possible for people to have access to such activity at an affordable price.
