Loved this book
Sep 20 2008
Format:Paperback
Loved this book by Mr. Harisinghani .I have read some of his articles on the web and find him very ` read-able' .
One Life to Ride is truly a remarkable book about a remarkable journey to the Himalayas.Remarkable because after reading the book I thought " wow is this my country " ? It made me want to go out and do something out of the ordinary.
There is great compassion,humour,spirituality in Mr. Harisinghani's writing .The description of his encounter with our jawans touched me to the core while his story of the nawab of Sindh was truly amazing. Great story telling ! I'm already looking forward to his next.

A Brilliantly Written Travelogue!
Oct 14 2008
Format:Paperback
Ajit Harisinghani's style of writing takes you along with him on his travels. It's as if India is right before your eyes; the people, the villages, the rivers & mountains, the flora & fauna- infact, you can 'smell' every thing. And therein lies its beauty! Ajit has that rare talent which very few writers have- to capture in 'words', exactly what your eyes see.
Its a fun book & I would strongly urge everyone to read it.

A fun read, over and over

This is one of those books I'll keep rereading. The writing is clear and simple, but also sublime and even a bit mischeviouis. Here is a man who does not take himself seriously, but has a deep respect for his native India and the people who live there. This leads him to ride his Royal Enfield on a quest to the northern region of India where he discovers the great spaces, and the combined beauty and tragedy of this region. If you're interested in motorcycling, or India, or simple and fun adventure, then give this a read. It is written with the same humility and poignancy along the lines of the DVDs "One Crazy Ride," and "Riding Solo to the Top of the World," which I also recommend you watch if this book hits the spot for you. A great book. Get it.
