Dilip Dhanasingh & Mina Dilip

Total Vote(s) : 378 | Total Testimonial(s) : 32

A small town (Tirunelveli) Christian boy meets a big city (Bangalore) Hindu girl… we run for around 4 years across 2 states, 4 tourist locations and 1 small town… About 600+ kms apart, we communicate through chat, email and SMS... to finally get married and make it official!!! She loves her Bollywood music and I love the screaming guitars (hard rock)... She loves the journey and I love the destination, but one thing that both of us love is to travel… but hey, who said anything about liking the same location!!!! While I write this, I’m serving notice in a BPO firm (I’m done with corporate life!) and wanting to go the entrepreneurial way. Mina is a freelance creative writer and a part-time consultant in a maternity studio. 5 years of marriage and a son (Ninja) of 2yrs later, we would like to see what life has to offer through the Great Driving Challenge… I’m sure we will have some wonderful experiences to share.

We are the best candidates because...

We are like a desi pizza; we travel the less travelled path..! And here's our unique recipe: PIZZA BASE: Both of us grew up travelling constantly. We love the outdoors. We love to travel across India rather than overseas because we believe that India is United States of India. We have visited less accessible tiger reserves and lonely beach spots. We have also traveled to USA, Europe, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. From hopping tour buses to enjoying luxury cruises, we have done it all! INGREDIENTS: In the past three years, we have collected 2000+ photos and videos. All the “first moments” of our son have been captured on camera. We’ve got pictures and portraits done up on many of our trips, and we’ve saved our memories in blogs and little stories that we both write from time to time. We have many home videos (completely edited with background score et al), which we share at our family get-togethers… TOPPINGS: Journey Mina, Destination Dilip. We have had our moments in the car - from closing eyes to the oncoming traffic to finding humor even in our most painful moments… And, we love the Indian pizzas… they are “for-een” but very desi as well… Take a bite and experience our journeys through life! Speaking of less travelled path, what's the fun in going to places that is so organized. You got to have some element of suprise, not just in the beauty of the place that you visit but the whole deal itself. Now, this makes us special.

I know Mina since we were just 9 years old. She is a person with such wide interests that any pursuit is possible for her. Her outlook towards like is so positive that it is contagious. She can make the people around her energetic. A good sense of humour defines her personna. And to speak of Dilip - he is a focused man with the humily of someone like a Sachin Tendulkar. A simple down-to-earth person who enjoys work & fun alike. Mina & Dilip make a wonderful pair... & with the little boy wonder Ninja, they make the perfect family - spreading cheer throughout. My good wishes will be with them wherever they go. May you people have the time of your lives - just zoom through this tour.

Hi: I know Mina fom the collegian times. She is quite an interesting person who loves adventures. She is a fun to be with and does put her soul into even the little friendship she makes. Though we spent only sparse time during the breaks and our friendship horizons very limited, with all the time we spent together, i know her to be a truly warm person. I pray she and Dilip get thru this great driving challenge and feed her spirit with excitement and adventure. All the best, buddy. Awaiting your call that u got thru dear

I remember Dilip driving us all the way from Chennai to Tirunelveli so that we could get some printing done for our English Department magazine. It was a great drive that began at noon and ended late in the night. All along the way, Dilip made great conversation and it was fun chatting with him. The return trip was equally good and now that he has embarked on this venture with Mina, I do hope he gets the chance to engage in three things he enjoys with the family he loves: driving, writing and capturing images frozen in time. All the best to the two of you.

I glad to say that I was around when I first saw those sparks begin to fly between Mina and Dilip. And I am glad that I am around now to say why I believe they are great candidates to undertake this driving challenge. Dilip once drove a group of us friends from Tirunelveli to Munnar where we all had a great time. I enjoyed Mina's vivacity and Dilip's sardonic sense of humour. Photographs of that trip still offer a nice dose of nostalgia. I wish Dilip and Mina the very best on this venture and I hope they derive great enjoyment from it. Go for it, the two of you.
