Manasi Pingle & Aseem Apte

Total Vote(s) : 135 | Total Testimonial(s) : 11

Manasi: umm...now this is the toughest part. what do we write here??? Aseem: whats so difficult? I can write pages and pages about ... me!! haha. no seriously, whats so difficult? A: I am a total adrenaline junkie... M: or so you think :P A: Well I do take off on my bike every chance I get, and a ride to Ladakh definitely counts. Whats your story? M: Me? I am a sweet, sensitive homely girl... A: Yeah right! M: Ok. So what if film making and being an activist make the homely part an exaggeration... I am still sweet. And I'll add spunky, adventurous, experimentalist... A: are you sure that is even a word? !! M: I mean I'm always on the look out for new experiences and love dancing, origami and books. A: Give me a book and i'll most probably sketch or paint on it. I'm a complete outdoor soul, a trekker, badminton player, percussionist, movie critic and yeah...a professional bathroom singer. M: Do we need any more things? A: Just the votes.... ;-)

We are the best candidates because...

Now this would have been easier if it were a race, a rally. Bending through the curves, pushing the pedal, burning rubber and some screeching on the brakes. But for now our flair for writing, an eye for the aperture and the taste of freedom on the road will have to do :-)

Our Travel Plan

There's the 7500km coastline on one hand and the call of the valleys, up north. Not to mention the thick forests of north-east. Too many ideas right now. We'll finalise a route plan soon ...

Our Travelogue

I wish i could say, "i've travelled the world" ... well that's the game plan but untill then i've done some healthy bit of travelling in India. The mountains have always been my calling and so the most memorable of all trips will have to be the Ride to Ladakh on my Bullet. Ever since i remember, we've been going around places, places to trek, places to photograph, places to just relax. Destinations far away, like Ladakh, Manali, Sri Lanka or Atlanta. And destinations untouched, like Tarkarli, Chandoli, Kajligarh, Gorakhgad. Not All these trips have been captured on camera, or written down on blogs. But they are definitely penned down in my memory as endless stories to share over a cup of coffee (infact it'll take lot more cups to cover these) ;-)
