Mysterious Crimson is what she likes to call herself, and Crimson feet has been my monicker for quite a while now. Usually known as Hitesha and Vivek in the offline world, our online identities are indispensable parts of our life. Hitesha has recently published her debut novel, Knots and No Crosses (http://knotsandnocrosses.com/) in which I enjoyed being the literary agent. She has otherwise been a practicing Criminal Psychologist, English Teacher in Germany, branch head of an Ad agnecy in pune, and founder of her own ad agency first in pune and now in noida. Pjotography, painting and speed biking are a few more of her hobbies. She owned a 750cc yamaha. I am a brand management professional and was among top 5 leaders in making at IIM Lucknow Pune. I am an avid blogger and am exploring online marketing as a hobby. I am a movie buff with a collection of over 800 world class cinema, was one of the founders of Baiscope an NGO in the Cinema industry and am working towards producing a movie based on Hitesha's book. We both love to travel, exploit her Digital SLR to the fullest and love to share our exploits with friends.

We are the best candidates because...

When traveling is your passion and adventure a way of life, horizons keep expanding forever to accommodate your perennial thirst to keep journeying. To walk over different soils and spend the night under the blanket of different hues of night skies, has by far been the most rewarding experience. No matter how far we travel, for us the journey has always just begun. And then the journey is not just about living it but also about sharing it. We capture the moments in images and words and love sharing it with one and all, for we wish that everyone gets to live the experiences that we have lived. An active social life, online as well as offline, means we shall be able to spread the word about this great driving challenge far and wide. Also, our professional background of communications expertise and brand building experience will help us keep perspective of the main goal of this exercise i.e to reach out to as many similar individuals as possible.
