Mission Spiti 2015 - Day 09
Manali – Ambala
– Delhi
Like the
previous day, we could keep our target again and left on time at 04:05. And so
happy was my brother because he could skip all the traffic. As soon as the
light dawned, he pressed on gas to further his ambition of reaching Ambala by
13:00 for lunch. Cruising through Kullu Main Market (not taking the bypasss) at
60kmph, I sensed a puncture and yes the rear tyre which we had got tubed at
Recong Peo got its first puncture. I felt amused that the problems we face in
the cities are really the result of urban settlements. They are really urban
problems and not rural so our fears of visiting rural places is totally
uncalled for – since the facilities we fear we will not get there are required
to solve only urban problems not rural. What the infinite number of pebbles and
pointed stones could not do, was done by a small nail thrown on the main road
of Kullu.
