In this world "DREAM" is miscellaneous to every human being's living journey, so as mine too. On my childhood I loved to wonder but due to my father's work & one side mind on education, my lust was almost lost. I started counting my days to become a job person that I can put my lust on 1st gear.

My dream is to wonder the world on a motorcycle. I have never had any doubt about fulfilling this desire. In 2013 I started feeling the lust was just few steps away as I joined an integrated steel plant as a Maintenance Engineer. ​When I finally made the decision that I was going to do this, the world responded. One by one the steps presented themselves and I took action with ease. As a mad bike lover I purchased six nos of motorcycle from 2013 to till now and started my journey on 2014 (Kolkata to Digha,udaipur,tajpur,mukutmanipur), on 2015 (Kolkata to Gangtok,gurudonmar,darjelling,kalimpong), on 2016 (Kolkata to Rourkela), the epic one to the land of biker's paradise on 2017 (kolkata to Ladakh,manali and return) on 2018 (Kolkata to Purulia) and continue..........

Next day on 21st January we leave our hotel from New Digha for site scene. Went to MOHONA which is just few kms away. Its a river & sea estuary point also known as the fish bank of DIGHA. You can have a great sunrise over there, will see varieties of fish and a great place for drone cinematography.
