Gaurav bhai, missing you bro. Not able to express this void, this sudden departure. What a legacy you leave behind bro! An educator, a mentor. No words to express. Will always miss you.

Sadly I will be unable to attend as I will be out of the country. 

I only met Guarav a few times, but what a guy.  I bought an uplifted Jeep when I first arrived because I ‘fancied trying off roading’.

To say I was clueless is an understatement.  
Guarav (recognising my complete lack of knowledge): ‘So that’s your compressor to inflate your tyres’

Me: ‘Right. So in case I get a flat. Got it’

Guarav: ‘No. Because we let air out when we off-road as it gives more traction’ 

Me: ‘What? 😳’

Such a patient and knowledgeable man. 
Didn’t laugh, mock, or say anything to discourage me. Talked me through the basics and here we are, top driver in Carnity! (I’m so kidding!)

What he taught me in that initial, and subsequent drives I hold dear.  I often find myself thinking ‘What did Guarav say again’. Solid foundations for the sport delivered perfectly. 

Whilst not there physically, I shall be thinking of everyone and ‘Big G’ on Sunday. 

Stay safe everyone and I look forward to the next adventure.

Good morning everyone!

Some last pointers for tomorrow's drive:

1. Please be on time. The convoy will leave at 6.30AM exactly. Deflating to 15psi is perfectly fine.

2. Bring your radio, compressor, pressure gauge and deflator. We will use Channel 10: 446.231Mhz

3. Upon our arrival at crescent moon lake we will try to park the cars in a square grid. One of our supporting team members will guide the vehicles once you pass through the white finish poles  

4. After forming a human circle and the one-minute silence (radios off please), you can inflate at the same location and make your way to the exit track that leads to Bab Al Shams resort. Many cars will head over there so if you are not sure just follow the other vehicles.

5. There will be a memorial book at the meeting point and also at the exit point. It would be great if everyone makes a small write-up or message. For the family this will be a very appreciated token.

 

See you all tomorrow morning!

@Frederic, I regret to inform you that I’ve been diagnosed with the flu and won’t be able to drive tomorrow morning. It’s unfortunate that I’ll miss this particular drive.

I’m sorry to hear that my friend. Please get well soon and wish us the best on our little adventure 😉

From seeing everyone trickling in from the big entry point in Faqa, to the views of the massive convoy stretched out across 2300m of desert, and eventually all coming together near the Crescent Moon Lake and being able to form this human circle was an experience i will never forget.

We take a lot of things for granted, but pulling this off without even breaking a sweat tells a lot about what Carnity has created, where people can drive together, but most of all where we are all part of one big desert family. However all of us are deeply affected by what has happened, i hoped to see smiles today and people bonding, and that's exactly what happened. This is what our Gaurav would have wanted and this is how we will move forward with the club.

A massive thanks to the friends who left Carnity sometime back but showed their respects by coming today and joining the circle. Events like this puts everything in perspective, and all of you have contributed so much to the club over the years. Thank you for being there!

We would have never been able to do this without the entire Team Carnity group's support that was spread out across the convoy. Thank you all so much!!

From this point on we will organize a yearly tribute drive. To honor Gaurav and to keep him in our thoughts. He will be our beacon for all things to come.

See you all very soon in the sand again!❤️

Dear Carnity Family,

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each and every one of you for being in this drive, in spirit and in person. Your presence, your kindness, and your support has meant more than words can truly express.

Carnity was not just a community to Gaurav it was his life’s work, his passion, and his dream.

He envisioned a space where people didn’t just come together for the love of sand and cars, but for something much deeper, the love and care for one another.

A place where friendships were built, where empathy and enthusiasm thrived, and where joy was shared freely.

Carnity was born out of desire to bring people together and to make a difference in their lives. That spirit of love and connection will always remain at its core.

A very special thank you to Freddie and Sri for organizing this drive and for being a rock in this difficult time

Thank you to each and every carnity family once again, for standing by him and for surrounding him with so much love. It brought him immense comfort and happiness.

 

With heartfelt gratitude,

Soni and family

“ In the memory honor of Gaurav “ it was truly overwhelming feeling to witness the number of ppl who came to share this moment of silence which spoke more than any word could express . 
Every one prayed in his/ her heart something deep for this man who gave his life to this community to thrive , develop and connect ppl souls in making such strong bond where the Mother Nature , the desert , was the platform base. 
 

huge thank you for all who came from familiar ppl to some faces from the past which felt like yesterday . The owner was all ours to stand in one human circle to honor our beloved Gaurav . 

special thanks to all Carnity support team who contributed in the smooth flow of the convoy and even more massive one to Fredrick for leading this event .
