Dushyant is going west. Because it is peaceful there, in the open air, and the skies are blue. And because watching the cool animated video of Pet Shop Boys back in the 11th grade left a lasting impression of a song much forgotten.

Without a computer and a continuous high-speed internet connection, he will be forced to address reality. He is equipped with a phone that think of itself in the first person “I” but he rather be distracted by the Rocky Mountains, sun drenched desert rocks and glacial lakes.

He will be accompanied by a Canadian and a German. But that is the least of his worries. Snakes, Grizzly bears and ticks are all fair game. And all have an equal chance of getting to him. Of course, all his predators have to be significantly nose-blind. Dushyant is likely to skip showering certain days due to sheer lack of shower facilities and is also set to grow more than just stubble.

Dushyant is expected to gawk at snow topped peaks. He is expected to walk through canyons and forested trails. Geysers, Glaciers, Salt flats and 14000 feet mountains are all par for the course. If you are unable to get to him via phone, it is most likely because he is lying flat on the grass staring at the night sky, plotting the next hike.

He shall be back in two weeks with an assumption that the bears have left him alone. And if you do hear from him, be forewarned that he is likely to ramble about going west.

Because it is peaceful there!
