Earn it
Tuesday, September 8th, 2009Looks like i found him
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009
This came in the mail recently. I am going from being red in rage to
blue in the face from thinking how and where to find Mark and this bloke has the nerve to suggest i’m not doing enough!! not looking hard enough!!!
update: somehow this joker got my hotel telephone number (spoke in a husky Bollywood baddie tone) and wants me to meet him at the Volga in Connaught Place in New Delhi at 3PM today. Obviously, HE knows exactly ‘where’ i should be looking for Mark.
Once i get my hands oaround his collars i’m gonna @#*%& him up, will post pics of his mangled
mug soon. Till then, please keep those stories coming in. Looks like my work is nearly done here..
These guys have earned it
Thursday, July 9th, 2009I’m humbled by the response to my request for help in tracing Mark.
Ever so often we declare our lack of faith in the world. Strangers scare us.
We take shelter in the coccoons we’ve spun around ourselves. Considering
Mark’s gone missing while discovering the big bad world one does feel that the best course would’ve been to stick it at home! I mean one only needs to pick up the paper to understand how dangerous our world is! Terror, Bombs, riots, assault on women and children, genocides in darfur and hunger in Africa..i could go on.. but then that’s not all there is to the world..to our lives
I’m not given to emotion easily but the mails and messages that i’ve recieved have genuinely moved me.
I now know that Mark disappeared around a place called Magnetic Hill which is on the Leh-Kargil-Baltik national highway, about 30 km from Leh (Thanks Bhakti & Kaushal, You guys have earned my respect, i’ve posted your helpful comments below) I’m rushing to the airport now, will post as often as i can. Need to trace the German dame since she’s the last one who saw Mark. Please check my Facebook page for updates in the interim.
Help!
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009This is getting pretty sordid! The German bird just called and she seems to have lost it! Between her mumbling and the call dropping I could only pick some words…it seems that their bike conked off along the way after Rohtang and they took a lift in a tourist van (of course she didn’t get the license plate number of the van). They were bone tired and the girl claims to have slept off immediately while Mark decided to grab a snack. This is where it gets really nuts – Just before Leh something inexplicable happened, she claims that the driver switched off the engine and the car still kept moving at a steady pace…as if being pulled by a magnet!! This was near some hill just before Leh. She slept off thinking it was some sort of oxygen deprivation induced hallucination (not the only thing she was high on, I think). When she woke up, Mark was gone. The van driver was spooked as hell and wouldn’t answer any questions. The only good thing (if there’s any good in this) is that the Police have traced the driver. Looks like I’m going to have to head out to India and have a chat with him. In the meantime, Does anyone know about this place? This ‘magnetic hill where cars move on their own’! Please post any info you come across (as comments), and PRAY for my friend mark
Mark’s missing!
Friday, July 3rd, 2009Ok this is a distress post. Mark seems to have disappeared!He’s done this before but this is quite something else. He was supposedly riding up to Leh Ladakh in India with this German girl, they stopped for some supplies in Manali and rode up to Rohtang. It seems they halted there for the night and
rode non-stop after that to Leh but a bit before Leh Mark seems to have disappeared into thin air!! (it’s quite literally thin air up there)
The girl on the phone was hysterical so i asked her to get her head around this and call me again in a few hours but if Mark’s trying to pull off a joke, he’s gone too far this time! Will post again as soon as i know more..
