Barely a month after a holiday in Leh, Rajeev Khandelwal is off to Leh-Ladakh again for another holiday.
"The last trip to Leh right after the release of Aamir was too hectic and too short. This time I'm going to relax. And I've made sure that I can keep going to Leh and Ladakh without having to bother with practicalities."
To ensure his permanent and steady movement in and out of his favourite vacationing venue Rajeev has converted a normal heavy vehicle into a camping car.
"I bought a Tata 207 truck and got it converted into a camp car which I'll now use in Ladakh whenever I visit.
The vehicle was sent ahead of me this time and it will remain there permanently at least for the next two years until my brother is posted there.After that we'll see.
I can't dream of not going to Ladakh and Leh. Every time I've time off I want to rush only to that part of the world. I feel I'm linked to the place from an earlier life."
This time Rajeev has his best friend and the friend's wife to accompany him. "We'll be camping in the wilderness of Leh in a proper tent and absolutely no connectivity with the world. So if Steven Spielberg wants to get in touch for a role he'll just have to wait."
Speaking of his work Rajeev has taken two scripts along to read. "I don't think I'll read them. But at least this time I'm less ambitious and more realistic than the last time when I had taken 7-8 scripts. When I'm in Leh I can't even think about work.The humdrum seems so remote and pointless."
What about a suitable companion for these ideal holidays?
"There's nothing I enjoy more than my own company. But if you mean a girlfriend then what can I do if I don't have any one to fill that vacancy in my life?"
Rajeev returns from Leh in the first week of August to prepare for his second feature film Peter Gaya Kaam Se in Goa.
"Does that sound like a paid vacation? It is not. Vacationing in Goa and shooting there are two different things. After my last trip to Ladakh I needed a holiday to get over my holiday. After shooting in Goa I'll be back in Ladakh for sure."
You just can't keep Rajeev away from his most favourite spot on earth.
