Offscreen — quest log
The other save file. Trails, races, the occasional unbelievable plot twist, and the dreams I haven’t unlocked yet — logged as quests, because that’s what they feel like.
NAAD/LVL 22/Pune, IN/0quests cleared
May 26, 2026 · Tail Baila, Sahyadris · cleared
A monsoon scramble up to a giant basalt thumb of rock. Stood on the edge, opened my arms, let the valley do the rest.
May 26, 2026 · High Spirits Cafe, Pune · cleared
The Office–themed trivia night. Dress code: your favourite character. I went full Date Mike.
April 19, 2026 · Guangzhou & Shenzhen, China · cleared
Went for the world’s biggest trade fair. Stayed for the skylines, the night walks, and a frankly heroic amount of food.
April 6, 2026 · Koyna backwaters, Maharashtra · cleared
Drove out past the light pollution to the Koyna backwaters and got an actual sky full of stars. Plus one very photogenic snake.
February 14, 2026 · Katra, Jammu & Kashmir · cleared
The annual trek up to Vaishno Devi with the boys — cold mountain air, the shrine glowing on the cliffside, and the usual amount of nonsense.
December 17, 2025 · Goa, India · cleared
21.1km down a palm-lined coast road at sunrise, then the rest of Goa — the food, the colour, the nights. Earned every bit of it.
July 31, 2025 · Sinhagad Fort, Pune · cleared
A quick monsoon trek up Sinhagad — into fog so thick the fort kept appearing and disappearing. Zero views, full experience.
July 30, 2025 · Tamhini Ghat, Maharashtra · cleared
No destination, just the ghats in full monsoon — waterfalls off every cliff and a road that begs you to pull over.
March 19, 2025 · Frankfurt, Germany · cleared
Flew in for a trade fair at the Messe. Stayed curious after hours — old town squares, dusk-lit streets, and a properly good Weissbier.
March 10, 2025 · Rome · Pisa · Amalfi Coast, Italy · cleared
Rome to Pisa to the Amalfi Coast — fountains, leaning towers, cliffside towns, and enough pasta and wine to qualify as research.
December 20, 2024 · Goa, India · cleared
The whole gang, end of year, Goa. Beach sunsets, a shack with a motorbike on the ceiling, and zero responsibilities.
July 15, 2023 · Kasol · Manali · Tosh, Himachal · cleared
Royal Enfields through the Parvati Valley — snow peaks, slate-roof villages, and roads that earn the word “Himalayan”.
August 14, 2022 · Leh–Ladakh, India · cleared
A motorbike, the highest roads in the world, and a lake so blue it looks edited. No filter needed.
