The male models stand about, their tight waists folded in deep white towels and over that, barrel chests exploding huge. They’re short but that’s ok. We just need close up shots. They stand quietly until they’re called upon to perform for the lens.

The photographer adjusts his lenses and frowns as he realizes the dark background is absorbing his subject. He needs light. Anyhow. Whether it is by putting chart paper in the background, that he will suitably blur. And a splash of green. Helpers! Bring green. From anywhere. Pots of plants or branches to hold.

Small issues like light he plug doesn’t fit extension board irritates one and all. Whose responsibility was it? Creativity is so subject to technical soundness.

KNIFE. Used to cut rope, screw bolts and open the champagne bottle on the summit.

TENT. Used to keep from storm, wild animals and PDA.

AXE. Used to test terrain, ascend slopes and explain your point of view to dissenters.

HEADLAMP. Used to borrow in tunnels, storm through forests and cook Maggi at midnight.

MOUNTAIN BIKE. Used to bump off-road, shoot down-hill and show-off in front of cars.

*No involvement of brand names used. It's all unofficial, private work, done at concept level for a client.

This ‘Share the Road’ logo has been contributed by Jasbir Singh, who took it from sources unknown to me. So much for due credit, heh.

And this is the Group's message, not my personal thoughts.

What am I doing creating mediocrity when I could do things exactly how I find them right. Brutal minuses. Bold additions. Whatever.. as per a mood, as per flow. Better to take a risk and have 3 hits and 4 misses than 7 also-rans. Easier said than done. More fun.

Let’s get down to something chewy.

Pedal Yatri is a cycling group in Gurgaon. Now for the lines passing through my head >>

We really like our window-seats

Wheels, wanderlust & chai

Sweat, dirt and wind

PEDALYTRIS Streaks of sweat and exhilaration

Spinning experiences as we ride along

Thirsty. Sweaty. Happy.

Adrenalin, romance, escapism on wheels

Velocity, Dirt and Fibre

On the coolest set of wheels

On a roll for life

Bone-crunchers, smooth-sailing and chai stops

Breaking personal records every weekend

I think I need to get out

Enjoying mankind’s greatest invention

We run away from home every weekend

Finding our road, our way

Riding the sky, earth and wind

I am Motion

I am Movement

I ride, therefore I am

Must have a good reason to wake at 5 am

Conversations with the road

Because driving just ain’t riding

Smoke-free & Addictive

Because my fuel is me/ My fuel is me

Pushing limits and horizons

A bunch of freewheelers

The two-wheeled animals

Rolling through ups and downs together

Going where Mercs can't

Born after the car era

Claustrophobes on wheels

Two ears, two eyes, two wheels

Getting intimate with the outdoors

Narcissistic self-belief and the glorious outdoors

Motored by grit

On the cycle of life

The outside circle
