Hi guys, we are both fashion designers by profession & passionate about explorations. We've known and tolerated each other for almost 8 yrs maybe 'cos we both are crazy in our own ways which keeps us busy & entertained! :-) Ismails love of life is his bike,his beloved Enfield and my love of life-various! being a woman I guess I keep changing my mind! MARK TWAIN says & I quote 'I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.' so I guess this will be our chance to figure it out for us.My guess is hate :-) but its worth a try. Hoping for all your support. Cheers

We are the best candidates because...

Our dialogue before filling the forms ABHI:THE GREAT DRIVING CHALLENGE...wow...I'll drive & u navigate ISSYE:hmm ABHI: We should take the mumbai-khandala route and... ISSYE:hmmmm ABHI:We should carry sleeping bags,sunscreen,toilet paper...blah..blah...blah....& u dont forget the digi cam...we need to create the blog ISSYE:Hummm ABHI: Its going to be so awesome...we'll meet interesting people, so much to see,learn & experience.So much beauty in our country...I'm sure it will get our creative juices flowing... ISSYE:hmmmm ABHI:are'nt u excited...say something ISSYE:make me some tea.. ABHI:hmmm AS USUAL FINALLY HE WILL DRIVE & I WILL DRIVE HIM NUTS! The clash of opposites is going to be fun, but what's common is the passion for adventure, the spirit to discover the unknown and the need to break away from routine. Lethal combination I must say! Well hmmm to that! :-)

Our Travel Plan

“It is better to travel than to arrive” Plan under construction.Will update asap.:-)

Our Travelogue

We both have had a fair share of adventure trips with friends & family but never together so hopefully this will be out first & most memorable trip together! MY TRAVELOGUE: Dated:Aug'08 Driving trip Bangalore to Coorg (Scotland of India).Accompanied by some awesome friends.Best part i was driving.Coorg's sheer perfection of natural beauty in the misty mountains, lovely meadows, romantic water falls and the silent roads that took us places. The local cuisine was delicious & the home made wines were a treat. A trip made memorable by beauty & amazing company of friends and made me discover my passion for driving! Dated:Oct'07 The best trip ever - SCUBA DIVING trip to Andamans.It was a dreamland.....16mt underwater swimming among corals no less than natural sculptures and schools of brilliant hued fishes.An hour underwater completely re-itirated my belief of a splendid world that God has created.I came back as a certified level-1 scuba diver. This trip has hit my moral chord of doing my part to save this beautiful beautiful world in the small ways that I can. Eco-travel is my mantra now! ISSYE's TRAVELOGUE: Bike trip-bangalore-mumbai-rajastan An impromptu decision bags packed bike polished and zipped to mumbai, stole my friend from his girlfriend and we were ruling the track.It was heaven when it was sunny and hell when it rained,feast when we found food and scavangers when stuck in middle of nowhere,slept on roadsides and bathe in rivers,the grandeur of architecture and kelidoscope of traditional colors,delicacy of chilly hot local food and traditional dance under starry sky.In the end standing on top of a dune realize the power of silence.

I know ISSYE way back in 2006. We studied in the same school in Milan. He is one of the craziest guy I have ever met. and the best part with him is he has great tolerance and he has been through many ups and downs. ISSYE -"HAVE FUN DUDE" BRAVO BROTHER. All the best.
