For all those who have been following and eager for updates... Posting this from an internet cafe in Mangalore.
The first stage has been completed... Stage 1 being - getting to India and those who had known me, know it well that I had developed this (unreasaonable) uncontrollable fear of flying... I made it safely to India with my bicycle and the BOB trailer("Bala-on-Bike" from now on) Thanks to Nikki from emirates who sat next to me during landing and take-offs.
Currently enjoying time with family and friends and will be starting to cycle on the 6th of january.
Manouvering around traffic will be my biggest challenge. For those who are curious, try to search for traffic in India on Youtube.com and you will know what I mean. Will be visiting a home/school for mentally challenged kids in a few minutes. Need to sign-off... more to follow... stay tuned...

Hi Bala,
All the best for your tour. Are you starting at Hyderabad on Jan 6th?
Ha Bala,

Happy New Year to you, Bala, and to your family!
Wishing you good health on your trip and may your bike's tires always avoid the glass shards!
Eagerly awaiting your travel notes,
