It was interesting to read the courageous text about your father-in-law. Well I guess my father would have been game for the adventure. But it surely must have been a mind blowing trek up there. I remember we (my parents and I) had been to Gangtok up to Tsomgo Lake up the mountains and could barely imagine that we were still on mother earth. The rough terrain made us think how it might be on another planet. We thanked god for our safe return. Yes it was that adventureous a drive!

@Shashi, thanks for the quote.

@Never Mind, I guess a decision is not difficult unless you are unsure of whether you will appreciate it or regret it later. One thing I had heard is this: to make such a decision, toss a coin – heads you’ll do it and tails you will not. And when it is up in the air, see if you are suddenly wishing for it to come up heads (or tails). Then ignore the coin and do what your mind told you to do when the coin was up in the air.

Wow! I have thinking on the lines of “multiple retirement” for a while now and haven’t gathered the courage to actually do it. And honestly, everytime I have to make a difficult decision, I think whether I will regret it or appreciate it after 10 years. This is definitely a great inspiration. Great luck to your father-in-law and would love to hear more about his adventures and of course see pictures!

Very interesting. Wish your father-in-law the best in this endeavour! His statement “I was disappointed by the things I didn’t do twenty years back than by the ones I did do” echoes what Mark Twain had said “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.” Great that he is creating an opportunity to do it.
