The Long Drive Home
To people who are fond of the phrase, 'Oh, what a small world'—please do go and drive across Russia.
The great overland drive from Europe to India was Rishad's dream since his early teens, stemming from a childhood full of family driving holidays. And when offered the chance to do it in the yet-to-be-released Audi Q7, he jumped at it. The only hitch? His Indian passport meant he wouldn't be able to do the conventional Europe - Turkey - Iran - Pakistan - India route. Instead, he would have to make a slight detour-only 10,000 km.
The Long Drive Home is the story of that fifty-four-day road trip, A vivid account of an adventure that spanned two continents, went through eight time zones and across nine countries-Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Belarus, Russia, Mongolia, China, Burma and India.
Written with Rishad's trademark humour, this is a must-read for anyone who enjoys travel or reading about it.
