Just now I sent the updated note and schedule to our friends and partners - Mr.Shreepadre, Mr. Ekalavya of Megh Pyne Abhiyan, Mr. Farhad Contractor of Sambhaav, Mr.Prashanth Hedao, Himalaya Seva Sangh, Gramalaya, Ms.Gazala Paul of Samerth.

In the mean time my colleague Mr.Amitanghsu spoke to NGOs from Thoubal and Mr.Nelson spoke to Development Alternatives from Jhansi.

Now we are waiting for final confirmation from our friends and partners.

About an hour ago I received a call from Prashanth Pillai. He told me about his recent problem with his back, neck and shoulders. Prashanth completed his K2K ride for Chrysalis. He completed about 19000km in 115 days. Ever since he returned from his trip, he has been helping me out with my trip.

Today he asked me to consult a physiotherapist about  some stretching excercises - 6-8 hours on a bike for almost 75 days will surely do something to the body. So one must be prepared.
