Alone on a boat, 27-yr-old wants to cross the Atlantic
Alone on a boat, 27-yr-old wants to cross the Atlantic
Only 32 others have done it. But former Bombay Scottish student Bhavik Gandhi remains unfazed
Ahmedabad, December 4: Sometimes, you take on life’s toughest challenges during the most unpredictable of moments. Like Bhavik Gandhi’s (27) telephone call to Rune Larsson, one of the world’s best extreme-distance runners, on a fine winter morning in 2004.
The conversation fortified Sweden-based Gandhi’s split-second resolve made during a cycling expedition in Istanbul: To row across the Atlantic Ocean, solo.

Being Bhavik - Kiruba.com - Weblog of Kiruba Shanka
Bhavik Gandhi is Phenomenal. (notice the capital P). For a successful venture capitalist and a founder of many technology companies, he has tremendous zest for life and adventure.
Bhavik is the guy who I want to be. Infact, we have a few common interests. He cycles, runs marathons and rows. So do I. But the intensity varies. Massively varies. While I row in the docile murky waters of Adyar river, he is planning on a 90 days, 3000 nautical miles journey across the Atlantic ocean from Spain to Barbados. While I cycle from home to office, he cycles 3000 miles from Stockholm to Istanbul. While I trek in the nearby Tada Falls, he treks through lake Baikal in Siberia in the winter! :)
Nevertheless, common interests. So, when he got in touch with me with a few queries, we immediately stuck a nice chord. It's also a nice co-incidence that both Sulekha and Sify, the companies I'm associated with, are official media partners for Bhavik's adventurous cross atlantic journey.
Here's wishing Bhavik the very best to kick Atlantic's arse!
