The Drive

Posted By bharath

Spent time trekking up to this spot many times, in the past. I’ve even camped overnight. It has a calming effect to sit up there and watch the world go by. With a clarity of thought that can only come from breathing fresh air, I’ve decided to make my way to Mumbai by road ( maybe you should ignore the clarity of thought part). The journey would be around 1200km and I will stop over at Bangalore before covering the remaining 1000km at one go. Definitely don’t want to strain myself by covering the distance at one go. Of course I’m insane ...but then I think so are all the other 22 participants. I’m pretty sure that’s the real reason why we’ve been selected, once they made absolutely sure that we were insane (the verification process I assume, checking documents was just an excuse). Tomorrow I start my journey towards Mumbai and hope to reach a few days before the 2nd.
I see that everyone seems to be working on the blog, putting up pictures, and coming up with team names, mottos, etc. Who would have thought that driving someone else’s car would be so complicated!

About us

Being best friends with Bharath has been my biggest challenge to date. Constantly arguing about most topics under the sun and having diametrically opposite perspectives to life makes us such good friends.

Having met at photography school, our shared passion for travel, culture, music, books and art made us drive off to different places on photography ‘assignments’. 5 years down post-grad school we still make spontaneous trips to feed our wanderlust.
