Hey we are Sameer and Neha . We live in Hyderabad and have been dating for over 4 yrs now. I am a Pilot/ Instructor and also an avid traveller . :) I have done a fair bit of travel through India as well as other countries. My spontaneous bits would be refuellig my aircraft / car and heading out accompanied by friends and music . Sam's dabbled in different jobs in different cities before finally settling down here and starting a Distribution firm with his best friend. apart from the love to travel like me, he also shoots and frames his travels. the last good one we shot was a Tusker in the Madhumalai forest. Both of us share the same passion towards the road less travelled, the forest covered peaks along the Ganga in Rishikesh, the forests of the Nilgiri, the beerfull beaches of Goa and ofcourse the need for speed. our relationship works well çause we are two non fussing individuals who can fine dine when the going is good or live off a maggi when the going is tough. To be honest we both prefer the Maggi. if theres a song that describes us well - "Born to be wild..."....like a true natures child...."

Hi, This is Sunil and vinita from Mumbai, born and brought up here. I am working in a Public sector company while my better half is a wonderful home-maker. We have a college going daughter doing her Arts. We as a family are very enthusiastic about travelling. Every year we look forward to a long deserved vacation of 20 to 25 days travelling 5000 plus Km, alternating between road travel in a year in our 1993 model maruti 800, and the next undertaking a circular rail trip. We have discovered, so to say almost the entire length and breadth of the country except the North-east and Kashmir, Rajasthan and MP. A couple of years down the line, we are planning a trip to Leh and Ladakh. Our next trip this October is expected to be the discovery into the unknown / unchartered territory in the North-East. Afterall life itself is a journey which needs to be explored to the hilt. The excitement of winning an all expense paid trip in a luxury sedan like Cedia is all too alluring to miss, more so in the monsoons. Hence our determined participation, in a trip that we have made umpteen times before & would love to do any number of times in the future!

Hi Friends This is Nagarjuna and Udaya from Bangalore. We just love travel, especially spending time with nature and making new friends, trying out new cultures !! I work as GM for one of the Top IT companies in India and Udaya used to be my colleague at work and now home maker. Both of us like long drives and make it a point to drive out as often as possible. One of the first few customers to get Toyoto Innova Petrol version have driven over 60K last few years. Enjoyed driving our first car Matiz, Honda City and of course the sporty Zen for a short while. Overall recently we have crossed 1Lakh mark in our car driving. We have 2 kids Nikitha and Abhiram. My son Abhi is now 6 years, learnt names of cars before he even learnt recognising the relatives. He now regularly plays Antaksharis of car names and vivid reader of car magazines. We have to fight to get the Autocar magazine to get into our hands ! Our longest drive in shortest time was south Indian trip 1800Kms in 4days with friends family. 2 of us drove on rounds and made it very interesting.

Devaraj Jawahar & Prabha Jawahar

We are the Jawahars - Prabha & Jawahar (aka - PJ & JD), with both of us having retired from active service - me as General Manager, Marketing from Siemens Ltd and Prabha as Executive with the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce - both in Mumbai. I am an old Puneite having spent my entire schooling days in Pune and after nearly 44 years away from Pune - in Chennai, Erlangen(Germany), Mumbai, Delhi and Mumbai have got back to Pune to enjoy our retired life. My mode of conveyance for road usage has been exclusively - bicycle from 1959 to 1970, motorcycle from 1970 to 1977 and motor car from 1977 until now. I consider myself as a very safe user of vehicles on roads and, touch wood, have not got involved in a single accident as of now, apart from some skidding when riding cycle and mobike - mainly due to bad road surfaces. Driving a car is a passion for me and handling the same is my unique forte - never overspeeding, never straining the engine and always anticipating dangers from roads and other users of the way. Prabha has been lucky that she never needed to learn to drive - what with an excellently, calm and patient driver in me. Thanks to our various journeys by motor cycle and car, she has turned out to be an excellent navigator or co-pilot for me, guiding me with traffic and directions and as a moderator, if at all I go berserk with the driving task at hand. However, now that we have moved over to Pune where there is no metered taxies and the public bus system and autorickshaws are the pits, she has found it necessary to be on her own and so got herself a new driving licence, after going through a regular driving school. That makes her independent of me having to chauffer her around..

"Moksh and I dont know each other. " We met a month back at a Tweetup organized by Moksh and have hit it off instantly. I really dont remember who was more impressed with who (though I know it has to be him) but WE WERE IMPRESSED. One could also contribute this chemistry to the fact that we live close enough to land up for breakfast to each other's place ( eh , he hasnt been to mine yet). We are in a steady relationship with the social aspect of the internet for a couple of years now and our love affair often spills over beyond the WWW. Paro calls herself the less adventerous of the two and holds a boring day job of an HR Manager in a BIG diversified indian private company ( yeah I guess that was a good hint ) which Moksh is the free spirit, the "Social Media Catalyst" , the entrepreneur. Moksh is funny, witty and sometime one dont even understand his jokes but I laugh with him, anyway. He knows what women wants, but seldom delivers (that is so cheesy !). But I know for a fact i love the way he writes on his blog. - Paro Paro (i dont even know how to spell her name at one go) is finicky and picky and loves clicking photograph about flowers, people (portraits),places. She specially loves wasting away her insomnic night clicking macros ( not the excel kind) and abstracts ( so she can call them ART..HAH!!!) -Moksh
