Leh Trip - The Weight

Heart patients are told to take it easy, and indulge in only recreational activities. So guess with plently of time in hands, following is my rendition of a song called 'The Weight' performed by 'The Band (1968)'; - used as a road song basically.

So, Sunandan, Pankaj and Chandra - three friends since teenhoods, took their bikes to Leh, i.e. upcountry north to explore a little bit of their India and themselves; and boy, it has been six months now and the trip is still sinking in - which all will agree. Following is the album dedicated to same.


Original by 'The Band' following is a youtube to the song. If you haven't read the lyrics, maybe you are missing something!

"I love this man!..i have tripped on this song so much in sbst..because i bought this album..woodstock from Ravjee (wohi thi na ek shop vijay char rasta par??)..and you have nicely made this song your very own in your true hobo style..reminded me specially of that night in kargil..where we found our beds and food late at night after we had overdozed on bone rattling and desh ki mitti!..(aur haraamzaadon..i had to go out in the cold and redo the bikelock job you and sunnu had done)..
CHEERS TO THE ROAD,LOAD AND ABODE AND ADOBE!"
