After crossing this checkpost, KKH became comparatively better and I was able to manage the speed of around 60. I am always cautious driving in the mountains....if I can switch to gear 5, I will stick to gear 4 to keep the car under control.....who knows there comes a sharp turn where I may find it hard to control and the choice is either mountain or the river. I do not expect compliments "wow you did it very fast". I expect to come back to the mountains again, I expect to go back to my loved ones.
When I am sitting in my car I recite safar ke dua....I recite it again when I sit in my car after a brief stopover at a check post and after sipping a cola at a khokha. I recite a dua when I engage reverse gear and my car is moving out of the car porch of my home.
