Divine driving of our God Praveen

Pravenn, our god and Driver and the true key to India!!!
some impressions of BANGALORE (Sillycon Valley in India)

We both felt a bit caught up in motorcycle maintenance and isolated from the India outside of an expat lifestyle. After spending nearly 2 weeks in Bangalore, getting the bike ready so it won't break down every 100 km, and dining out in expensive resaturants and clubs, this little trip outside of Bangalore up to Nandi Hills seemed just what i was expecting and remembering from India. It's fantastic how much nature and people got to offer, once you leave everyday life and start to explore. this little trip seemed to compensate for the last 2 weeks and has been a good chance to try out the bike in extreme conditions. That's why we got to stay another day, because most of the main seals are leaking, and the bike is loosing oil.But it all should be done today...?!?!?!hopefully


We should probably just.....

hit the road!! Still no finalized motor bike at hand, we are waiting patiently (?) in Bangalore for "The Mole" (our mechanic is just as blind as one) to finish the job, which is why the blog doesn't really take big leaps at the time. Once in a while we collected the bike for a (holi)day and drove off to photograph monkeys and cows or be photographed with perfect strangers (left and down, can you guess which is which?).











We are really itching to hit it, and indeed the signs seem to suggest that we will be off tomorrow to Hampi, our first chosen destination.

Finally the bike: just bought our Enfield Bullet 350cc





After having difficulties to get some proof of our stay in India, because of the comfort and the luck of being able to stay with Daniels' (Peines) parents, we were able to find this amazing motorcycle (unnamed so far...).Best is, we are owning it since today.

Some proof of the existence of indians in India.

The Proof? You can't handle the Proof!




Guten Tag. Nachdem sich die Unkenrufe häufen, wir seien gar nicht in Indien und würden vielmehr noch immer Tannenzäpfle im Schwarzwald kredenzen, muss ich wohl Beweise bringen. Das ist gar nicht so einfach, denn viel der bisher verbrachten Zeit waren wir in gar unindischen Behausungen, die zu fotografieren zu wenig Beweislast erbracht hätte. Das hat uns davon abgehalten, den indischen Lebensstil investigativ schonungslos zu dokumentieren, wie man sieht. Nicht abgehalten.

Nun wollen wir doch mal sehen...

Morgen gehts los. Nach einem wunderschönen Wochenende in Freiburg sitzen Franz und ich gerade bei Georg in Frankfurt und tun so, als würden wir uns innerlich auf die Reise vorbereiten. Das Ziel ist Indien, zwei Monate für mich (Fasan/Peines), open end für Froonz (Afghan/Heines). Mal sehen, wie oft wir uns hier zu Wort/Bild/Video melden werden, es ist unser erster Blog und zunächst eher als Alternative zur Massenmail gedacht. Stay tuned if You give a crap!
