Tarun Kumar P & Archana P

Total Vote(s) : 192 | Total Testimonial(s) : 4

Hi, We are Tarun and Archana(my wife) and both of us are software enggs working in Bangalore. We are recently married (3 months) and we are here because we love nature, trekking, long drives, photography and of course driving. For a typical holiday, we would prefer a place with very few people amidst nature to a commercial holiday spot. I have trekked the green route (the train route from Sakleshpur to Edakumeri), Bhramagiri hill (Wayanad), Eddakal Caves (Wayanad), Kodachadri hill(twice), Kemmannugundi and many more to come. My recent obsessions were horse riding, Photography (I bought a D-SLR). Last but not the least, I love to drive. I started driving at an early age of around 16 years. I now have my own car (a hyundai accent) and have driven almost 80,000 Kms in less than 4 years. That should tell you my passion towards driving !. Before that I used to drive my dads car. Long night drives have become a routine. My friends know I am the safest person to drive the car on a trip, all nigters are reserved for me. Apart from driving, I have also participated in many plantation drives. I worked with few NGOs for green causes and child support (Hope foundation, SAPPORT, www.treesforfree.org). For us, driving is a pleasure and not a means to get to a place. Please Vote for us. I urge all you people to: Use the roads responsibly and also do your part for the environment. Don't Drive as if you own the road, drive as if you own a car ! Stop littering, stop honking unnecessarily after all its our nature, our surroundings. Make a difference !

If there is one person other than myself I want to see at the driving wheel that has to be Tarun. We have known each other for about 10 year and I have been with him during most of the trips he has mentioned. Be it the music system in his car or the driving, I am such a fan. Will never forget blasting the "Du Hast Mich" song on his system.. FULL BLAST.. Travelling and driving are his passions and I have never seen him spend a weekend indoor ever. He is also a safe driver and maneuvers well even in the most crazy roads. He is a fun guy with jokes and satires all the while and its typically always non-stop laughter with him around. Tarun's collection of photos and videos of trips show a lot about his personality. I am sure the Great Driving Challenge will be a fantastic experience for Archana and him and I wish them lot of luck and fun.. Tarun, have a blast. you guys rock.. :)

good stuff..

"The Team Driver" or rather to be simplified, "Driver" is what we call this guy. He drives to work everyday and also offers lift to our colleagues en route. Its just not this that makes him apt for the name; it's his endless passion for driving. He enjoys it and I have never heard him complain about the long drives in traffic to office. In his bachelor days he used to travel a lot with friends and I thought may be getting committed would end that. But to my surprise, Archana turned out to be quite a sport and nowadays they and their married friends carry forward the tradition. It's hard to catch hold of this couple on weekends, but the best part for me is to wait for the following Monday to hear the desc.. of the weekend fun and the amazing snaps. He bought a D-SLR one year back and I am a fan of that camera and his photography. He carries his camera to office most of the days, hoping to click some nice snaps en route. When I found out that he had registered for the event, my first reaction was, "Who else, if not for Tarun and Archana? due to all the above reasons. His passion for driving and photography makes him a strong contender and with Archana's writing skills and assistance to his aid; they would well be one heck of a team to beat. Rivals, watch out!! I have my money on them to make it through to the finals. Wanna bet??
