The Pillion Rider is a recollection of the experiences of two young officers George and Hirak from the Indian Armed Forces, during their motorbike trip of 35 days in August 1971. The hospitality that George and Hirak were showered with during their journey, may possibly be implausible today. The adventure drove home the fact that India is a great country and its people far greater, full of love and very large-hearted. Monsoon rains of August, roads with potholes filled with water, slushy berms of roads, stray cattle, lack of money and road accidents made no dent on their determination to continue with the journey and party as they travelled along.
Adventure is not only about thrill, danger and fun....it is also something invisible that brings people really close.
Enjoy their experiences and plan your next adventure soon.
