I have been following this guys progress and it is fascinating. Leave alone that fact that it is stupendous that a desi can even think of attempting something like this - what would his parents think!! His boat capsized in a storm, and he waited for a big enough wave to come from the right diretion to upright it. Apart from this he lost his rudder and desalinator and still managed to carry on and is right now 40 miles from completion.
Sadly, no where in the Indian media have they found space to cover this between the coach appointment and the abhi-ash tamasha

Be it Branson's balloon race or Bhavik's boat trip - neither excite me either.

desi - fair enough that it may not be exciting for you. This kind of stuff is routine for a gora but not so for a desi to be doing this. I thought it was brave of this guy to attempt this. Of course, what can be gained from this? What can be gained from climbing everest or playing cricket either??
