After almost five years, five hundred gigabytes of photographs, an estimated five hundred thousand words and one hundred and twenty thousand kilometres under the belt, hundreds of thousands of litres of petrol, six hard drives, three computers, three cameras, six lenses, one dirt bike, one Volkswagen, countless LandCruisers, two GPS units, one Camelback, two dogs, four apartments, four destroyed tires, one head-on collision with a camel, twitchy camel spiders in the Empty Quarter, a gang of armed militia in Yemen, one two-night desert trek for rescue, one whorehouse in Calcutta, one detention at an Omani army border camp at the Saudi Arabian border, one search and detention by the Indian Border Security Force on the Bangladeshi border, one tiger disco in Thailand, one Malaysian gangster, streets full of vintage cars in Iran, the occasional relationship, one Indian Army rescue in Arunachal Pradesh, two Formula One races – all of this is true – I have resigned as editor of Oman Today. What a ride. Thank you for being a part of it.
As always, now and in future, wherever I might be in the world, you will find me through my website, www.pinaki.info. It will, in addition to its blog and portfolios, carry updated information on my current phone numbers. My email address is pinaki@pinaki.info.

Hey Pinaki,
Seems like quite a ride…Good luck with all that’s planned (and unplanned!) for the future
cheers
Pinaki – a highlight of the month disappearing . Thanks for the always straight from the heart words and photographs – Tony
Dear Pinaki – really sorry to hear you’re leaving Oman2Day – I think you made a huge difference for the magazine, but will always look forward to checking your travels, creations and stories on your beautiful website. Just keep creating, please…
…and to imagine there’s even more up ahead. Beep beep
Hi there,
The vital question – Where are you going to? Hope you will be around. Keep in touch – Shyline.
wait till the lemons awards ………satire will be missing from here when ur gone. cheers for a new start n do not forget the rangoli.
finally…the sojourn thru the numerous wadi’s hit a road block. The crusader of oman2day hangs his cape and decides to hitch another bumpy ride on another means of transport. only if the militants at yemen had pulled the trigger when they saw you….by the way hope you compensated the injured camel with a hump. keep up the never ending journeys and let it be an inspiration to all those who hit the dirt track. (ps) hope all those wadi’s you visited are real coz if the road leads to a dead end then your in for a flat tyre pal.
OMG!!! Just discussing about it the other day. Should have bought a lottery ticket instead
Wish you all the very best. Hope you’re not leaving Oman behind?…
