‘Bikepacking helps you see the world around you differently'
Sudhanshu Verma Guillaume Lemaitre I met a bunch of cyclists and joined them. They would meet every morning and eventually, this experience empowered me to pick up cycling and go bikepacking ,' says Sudhanshu Verma, a wedding photographer and founder of a travel company. For many, bikepacking offers an escape from the digital world—a slow, physical antidote to the constant stream of emails and notifications. It allows you to observe the world in a new way and discover your inner self. Ahead of World Bicycle Day (June 3), we talk to bikepacking enthusiasts who are redefining adventure and human connection through their cycles. What is bikepacking? Bikepacking, a hybrid of mountain biking and minimalist backpacking, is rapidly growing into a global movement. Combining freedom, self-sufficiency, and a raw connection to nature, this form of cycling adventure has struck a chord with those looking to escape fast-paced urban lives and rediscover slow travel. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Killer New Dodge Ram 1500 Is Utter Perfection (Take A Look) MorninJoy Undo 'Bikepacking can be a life-changing experience' Bikepacking is now being embraced by those seeking a slower, more meaningful way to live. Sudhanshu says, 'My life changed when I rode from Jaipur to Kanyakumari. I believe everyone should experience this once. It heals you.' For Guillaume Lemaitre, a former COO at a fintech startup in Amsterdam, the journey began as an escape. 'When I was 13, I took part in cycling competitions in Belgium. I really loved it, but I was fed up with the competition part of cycling and corporate life,' he says. Guillaume has been bikepacking for nearly a year now, riding from Belgium to Australia to raise awareness about cystic fibrosis, a condition his sister suffers from. 'People in India are always ready to help and host you' Bikepacking doesn't have to be a solo sport. Dr Jinal Vora, who has been travelling with his wife (Vishva) and two-and-a-half-years-old daughter (Hasti), says, 'Bikepacking helps you find your inner self and lets you see the world around you differently. It has made our family's bond stronger because you spend long hours understanding each other in tough, demanding times.' Talking about how strangers help without any hesitation, he says, 'People have helped us a lot; they would even make food specially for us. People in India are ready to help and host you when needed.' Guillaume agrees, 'The generosity everywhere is just amazing. It surprises me all the time. I have eaten and slept at people's houses. I always found a shelter. In the west, we work for comfort. In India, people are happy with what they have. This journey has taught me to always stay humble.' Dr Jinal Vora and Vishwa Vora ' Route planning and preparation are vital' Route planning is vital while bikepacking. Sudhanshu, who relies on apps like Windy, OsmAnd and AccuWeather to track wind, rain, and terrain, says, 'I look for gradients, contour lines, and trails where villagers or trekkers are already active.' Guillaume's strategy is all about surviving. He shares, 'I always check for gas stations or eating spots. If they aren't there, I stock up on oats, instant noodles, and energy bars.' Some popular trails in Asia Manali to Leh Spiti Valley The Annapurna Circuit (Nepal) Tso Kar, Ladakh Chennai–Puducherry Essential gear for bikepacking Tubes & puncture patches Water bottle 2–3 pairs of clothes Shifter & brake cables Brake pads Chains Sleeping bag Small stove Dehydrated food First-aid kit Solar charger or power bank Written by: Yashaswi Kochar

Iran says may allow US inspectors from nuclear watchdog if deal reached
Iran on Wednesday said it may consider allowing US inspectors with the United Nations nuclear watchdog to inspect its facilities if a deal is reached with the United States. Iran has long been accused by Western powers of seeking to develop nuclear weapons, a claim Tehran has consistently denied, insisting its nuclear programme is solely for peaceful, civilian purposes. Tehran and Washington have in recent weeks held five rounds of talks focused on the issue, their highest-level contact since the US in 2018 withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal during Donald Trump's first term. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Killer New Toyota 4Runner Is Utter Perfection (Take A Look) MorninJoy Undo "Countries that were hostile to us and behaved unprincipledly over the years, we have always tried not to accept inspectors from those countries," Iran's nuclear chief Mohammad Eslami told reporters, referring to staff from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Tehran "will reconsider accepting American inspectors through the agency" if "an agreement is reached, and Iran's demands are taken into account", he added. Live Events Since returning to office in January, Trump has reinstated his "maximum pressure" policy on Tehran, including by imposing new sanctions on the Islamic republic. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said Wednesday that "consultations are ongoing regarding the time and location of the next round of talks, and once finalised, they will be announced by Oman". President Masoud Pezeshkian, currently on an official visit to Oman, thanked the Gulf state for its mediation efforts between the longtime adversaries, which have had no formal diplomatic ties since 1979. Iranian Foreign Minister and top negotiator Abbas Araghchi, who is accompanying Pezeshkian in Oman, said that "the date for the new round of negotiations will probably be clarified within the next few days". 'Non-negotiable' While welcoming the negotiations, Iranian officials have repeatedly declared uranium enrichment "non-negotiable". US officials, including Washington's representative in the talks, Steve Witkoff, have also publicly identified it as a red line. Eslami also said that the issue of enrichment "has not been raised at all" and "the enrichment percentage should not be raised politically". "The enrichment percentage depends on the type of use. When highly enriched uranium is produced, it does not necessarily mean military use," he told reporters. Baqaei meanwhile said: "The continuation of enrichment in Iran is an inseparable part of the country's nuclear industry and a fundamental principle for the Islamic Republic of Iran." "Any proposal or initiative that contradicts this principle or undermines this right is unacceptable." Iran currently enriches uranium up to 60 percent -- the highest level of any non-nuclear weapons state. That rate is still below the 90 percent threshold required for a nuclear weapon, but far above the 3.67 percent limit set under the 2015 deal. The European parties to the 2015 nuclear accord -- France, Germany, and the United Kingdom -- are weighing whether to trigger the agreement's "snapback" mechanism, which would reinstate UN sanctions on Iran for non-compliance. Tehran has repeatedly warned against activating the measure.

State has to secure our jobs, we can't write exams again: Teachers
1 2 Kolkata: State school teachers, who have lost their jobs following a Supreme Court order in April, insisted they would not appear for exams again to get their jobs back. But they did not close the door on further talks and expressed their desire to meet CM Mamata Banerjee to clear their doubts. Banerjee on Tuesday announced fresh recruitment process for state schools, pointing out 44,203 posts —24,000 vacant posts due to the court order and 20,000 new—had been created, for which those who had lost their jobs as well as freshers could apply. But, she clarified, everyone had to take the exam, though she said "job experience" would be rewarded for those who had lost their jobs and the cap on age would also be relaxed for them. After the CM's announcement, Brindaban Ghosh, a teacher, told reporters: "The govt is reluctant to secure jobs of eligible teachers. The CM's speeches on April 7 and today are contradictory. She spoke about legal implications. The decision of age relaxation and rewarding our experience is a welcome decision, but the state has to secure our jobs as we can't appear for a fresh exam at this stage." But the CM urged teachers to appear for the exam. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Killer New Toyota 4Runner Is Utter Perfection (Take A Look) MorninJoy Undo She said, "You have to wait for the review petition. Not taking the exam won't work... This is not our directive, it's the SC order. If you don't take the exam and at the same time, the review plea doesn't have a favourable judgment, you won't have a chance to get your job back." But teachers seemed firm in their stand against taking exams. Rakesh Alam, a teacher, said, "If they allow fresh candidates, we will have to sit for the exam with our students." Arpita Mandal, a teacher from north Bengal, who has been on the street for the past 21 days, said, "This announcement is a death penalty. We have worked for seven-eight years, and now we have been asked to appear for recruitment again. Is this an option?" Many jobless staffers demanded to see the order. Satyajit Dhar, a clerk, said, "A major portion of her announcement is for teachers, it is important to see the order." A section, who claimed an OMR mismatch, was also upset. Among them, Ritesh Ghosh, said, "The CM said the state would file a review plea for all but she didn't say anything about solving our issues."
