About this title

Review

Ajit's writing is clear, simple, strong like the Enfield's dugh... dugh... It's not a cliff hanger (except once), but thanks to the sheer richness of the landscape you really can't put it down. -- Deccan Herald, Bangalore, India

Cruising through the roughest terrains and encountering a host of characters on the way, it is a courageous tale that will tickle your funny bone and even make you wish you were a pillion. -- Bike India (Dec.2008)

India seems a mythical land to the rest of us, and we could never hope to understand such a deep and complex world even if we took 1,000 journeys across the vast sub-continent. But Mr. Harisinghani has spun a wonderful narrative of a journey where you're riding pillion on a 4,300 kilometer adventure from Pune in west-central India all the way north, through Jaipur and New Delhi, all the way up to Leh and Jammu.

fun, exciting, spiritual with a sense of humor and you'll learn a lot about a fantastic and varied country. Highly recommended -- webbikeworld.com

This is the simple and endearing story of a middle-aged man's lone journey on his Royal Enfield. His travels, from Pune to the northernmost parts of India and back, are the result of a promise made to a dying friend. Written in an easy, thoughtful style, One Life to Ride gives you the feeling you are actually riding pillion with the author.
-- Royal Enfield Books, Manchester, UK

an interesting read for those who enjoy a bit of adventure and also a look into India's vibrant and rich culture with its warm and welcoming people. -- Times of India
