Im a multimedia designer working for IBM and she's a creative writer. We just got married a year back and we both love travelling, adventure and spending time together. We've travelled many places in our bike/car and we just love being on road, highways, jungles, beachsides. Loved our travel to Gao the most as it was just after marriage. Was just roaming without any plans in our car for 3 days partying and shopping. Loved the bike ride from Bangalore to Coorg recently. Even though its very frequent, we still cant wait for our next drive to Kerala.

We are the best candidates because...

We're the best candidates mainly because we are meant for long drives and having fun. We believe in living every second. Whenever we get time or a weekend, we just call up friends or at times just us - for a long drives to any nearby unexplored places either in car or our cruiser bike. We just love being on road and in Mitsubishi Cedia - (one car which i never ever drove but heard about the performance and went drooling over its stylish sporty looks), its gonna be a great life time opportunity and an heavenly experience. Just cant wait to roll with our digicam to capture our rollin moments and yell it out to the world about our 10 day everlasting memory of adventurous drive with the speed demon Cedia! Why we think its us is also due to following reaons: #1: The places we plan to cover for this challenge We'll be covering citylife - jungles - mountains - beaches. And thats the wide range for a challenge. Its because we've been to many places in South India in the past and know many unexplored places where the public has never been. So I guess we'll be able to cover best natural places and show it to the world through our blogs and photographs. #2: Our experience Since our marriage and even before that we've always gone for short weekend getaways/long drives to Kerala with friends and knows the proper routes etc to many of the places in South India. So that will make our trip more easier, comfortable and enjoyable. #3: Our Policies - living our life to fullest You dont always need so much money to have fun and enjoy your life. Being with your better half and travelling - no matter how - bike, bus, train, low cost airline its all great. Only thing you need in you is the enthusiasm or a passion to travel, to see places, getting to nature, loving mother earth. And if your better half is also of the same category, then you are the luckiest in this world, like me ;). Ive seen in Discovery Travel and Living channel, this saying - “A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.” - Lao Tzu We believe in the above saying. To keep rolling together!!

Our Travel Plan

We intend to cover jungles, mountains and beaches. So I guess we'll be travelling starting from Bangalore - Coorg (Jungle Estates) -Masinagudi/Bandipur (pure pitch green Jungles) - Ooty (Hillstations) - Kodaikanal (Hillstation-Mountains) - Mudumalai (Forest) - Kerala (Beach)- Mangalore - Karwar(Beach) - Goa (Beach) - Back to Bangalore if we have time. ;)

Our Travelogue

We dont check time when travelling. If a plan pops up about travel with friends we just grab wotever we could at that point of time and starts rolling. Weve been to many places in South India. Mainly to Ooty, Coorg, Kodai, Bandipur, Kerala and Goa. If i were to write about those experiences here the space wont be enough. But in short words, all the driving and riding experience, being on road with your friends or alone with some good old 80's rock music or some electro house was just unexplainable. We just roam and roam to the destination. Love when we lose routes as we think thats more fun - a chance to drive around more and gettin to know the proper routes next time.

Nithin, I know this fella since we use to play in our chaddis and I met Anju through him. Two wonderful people make the fantastic couple. One of the sweetest and happening couples I have seen around. Two of ma besties and I would unquestionably call them the synonym for fun adventure and travelling :-). Always ready to hit the boulevard any time in the day or night and hell it's really fun travelling with them. I should tell ya people one thing; they are one couple with some great attitude. I still remember when I called them up in the middle of the night and asked if they would be interested in a road trip to Coorg the next day early morning. And the response was “what time are we starting?”, and that turned out to be the best road trip. There are a lot more places to explore so a hell lot of road trips in our way people, so let’s burn some tires. I hope you guys win this cuz you both deserve a way too ahead of anyone else. Cheers and keep vrooming:P

Road is the second home for them and nothing beats the adrenaline rush in our blood when we are on the road. :-) God bless you both and by the end of the challenge you will drive away the Cedia.
