This document summarizes a road trip from Jamshedpur to Delhi taken from June 1-8, 2015. It describes some stops along the way where the drivers rested and ate, including finding shade under a tree to cook mutton curry and eating at a roadside dhaba called Jeet Dhaba that was a popular hangout. It discusses a last meal at a dhaba in Etawah where one driver unexpectedly couldn't get fish curry. It thanks the key drivers who helped shepherd the trip in sections, Ashish Chatterjee for the first six days and Mohan Shukla for the last two days from Benares to Delhi.

2. Wayside amenities. Self-
made. Darcl pilots find a
tree shade on the State
highway in Uttar Pradesh
to cook and eat their
mutton curry. Can’t afford
daily eating out even at
truckers’ dhabas!

3. Gladly receive gifts from company…

4. No, no…. This is not owned by
Darcl. But the owner has a
close association with the
company and knows pilots very
well. This is another popular
hangout of Darcl pilots on their
Jamshedpur-Faridabad sorties.
They halt, rest and eat at this
joint. Honestly after seeing Jeet
Dhaba, everything else appears
less appealing!

5. Last meal of the trip at Etawah. Subhajit Chatterjee,
Darcl Dada, asks for fish curry-rice, without realizing that
the dhaba is owned by a Rajasthani and strictly no non-
vegegtarian items! Dada settles for boondi raita, daal
and rice. Extra plates
of green salad!
One last bump in
with Darcl parivar
near Agra…

6. The last sunset of this 1.400 km, 8 day Jamshedpur-Delhi
road trip….

7. Not a lollipop moment. Tough it was. But the mood was
positive. Attitude was positive. Where there is a will, there is a way, isn’t it?

8. No trip would be complete or successful
without key drivers: we mean our own
saratis….
The Bengali babu, Ashish Chatterjee,
shepherded us in his Tata Safari on the
Jamshedpur-Benares leg for the first six
days. On the Benares-Delhi leg, it was
Mohan Shuklaji with his Innova. Tks,
Chatterjee & Shuklaji!

9. Journeys, for me, never end.
Hence, my packs remain unpacked for the NEXT journey….

Thanks, Darcl Team! Thanks, ‘Sel’’van Dasaraj!
