    Currently the book is available in India only because of the prohibitive shipping cost to courier it overseas. Till such time as it is not available on Amazon stores globally, sorry about that. The Kindle edition is available though … click here.

    This is the story of an incredibly beautiful, enlightening, meditative, therapeutic, not to mention physically and emotionally demanding paddle from Haridwar to Kolkata. This is the first time anyone has paddled a canoe down the Ganges. The experience was extraordinary and I got to meet some incredible people along the way, and witness the diversity that exists along the Ganges, and changes as one goes downstream. I hope you have a good read.

  • Six Decades of Failures

     300.00

    This is the story of my life. I am no celebrity, even though a lot of people are to their kith and kin (Am I? I wonder). I am not someone who people will or should look up to or maybe even emulate. This book is about looking back at my life, remembering the choices I have made, and their ramifications. Have these years been full of failures, or have they been foundations on which the pillar of success was or could have been built. Was the pillar finally built? Is this book an autobiography? Is it just a rambling of a person who is remembering the milestone moments of his life? Is it a series of confessions? Is it a way to pen down my life’s journey in anticipation of taking that final flight to the other world? I leave it to you to decide.

    All I can hope for is that you have a good time going through these pages. If I can manage to provide some topics of conversations, going beyond the confines of just my own life, about various aspects that one might be confronted with, how to conduct oneself, it would all have been worth it.

  • A Slow Boat down the Yukon

    Support my Yukon paddle

     5,000.00

    My proposed paddle down the iconic and breathtaking Yukon river in Canada and the USA is going to be truly adventurous. Paddling one of the last wilderness stretches in the world, at many places the closest human beings will be in the International Space Station. An entirely self-contained and self-sufficient expedition, I hope to join a small bunch of adventurers who have paddled the entire length of the river from Whitehorse to the edge of the Bering Sea. I seek your support to raise the flag for yet another incredible Indian feat.
