First Time Alone

'Nikal Padho' (get going), were two great words which inspired me to leave home and do something uniqe at the age of 16: a solo trip from Kashmir to Kanyakumari on a bicycle. As soon as I finally decided to leave, the one thing that came to mind was money!

 

As a student who had zero income and pocket money, it was a big challenge to arrange things for the trip. I finally decided to sell my cell phone and use the money to arrange stuff for my tour (travel bag, tickets and bicycle ). I still remember, I had asked mom for just 1500 rupees, saying that I was going to Agra with some friends.

 

As it was my first step in life towards the world, I named it "KADAM INCH TO MILES". I decided to track my journey not in miles but inches. I have never been alone in my life, but instead of being scared, I was so excited that the word "fear" didn't even enter my mind
