...wonder via the magnificent Western Ghat mountains. To join in, you need at least $6,000 in private sponsorship (plus $35 a day for fuel and fun) and a motorcycle license. What you get is the chance to ride a new, locally made Royal Enfield Bullet along unmapped rural Indian roads and see places like tiger reserves that are normally off-limits. The going can be tough, and some nights you sleep under canvas or just the stars. But, says Smith, "it's a life-changing experience, and good food, cold beer, clean sheets and fresh towels are always waiting...
...America, Capt. Smith (Colin Farrell) is intoxicated, beatified, by the new land?s abundance. ?Here the blessings of the earth are bestowed upon all,? he declares. ?None need grow poor.?

That would likely prompt his millions of mostly indigenous followers to turn to what they call "street democracy," as they have done...
...were engaged; six months later, they were wed. Now, more than 26 years later, they are still happily married, very much in love, and, I dare say, walking together, hand-in-hand, happily ever after.
