I was following the progress of making of this legend called Taurus for almost a year. Effort, dedication and enthusiasm of Capt Suresh Sharma and his family is profound. I was curious to see and experience this lovely machine until one day he called to tell that he and Taurus are visiting Leh, I was very excited at the prospect of encountering the much awaited Taurus.

And yes, I got an opportunity very soon to be aboard the Taurus. The place was the banks of river…

I am sharing my experience of being on the Maiden journey of Taurus in Nov last year. I came to know about Capt. Sharma and his ambitious project Taurus through a common friend. There were two main reasons which made me decided to board Taurus - 1st. Captain Sharma's inspiring story as how he went about following his dream against all odds.
