Well ... it'd have been great if we could surmise what we are and what we wanna be in this tiny li'l box .. but the truth is it can't get any more complicated than it already is. Sonam, born n brought up in the beautiful valleys of Ladakh, with her all too sweet and dolled up looks is one of the most witty and devious li'l creature I've known .. all at the same time !! … she’s like one of those silent Kung Fu masters , always dwelling in meditation until it’s time to strike ..... from designer dresses to torn ol' jeans .. from mascara to dirty hands .. from being a techie in an MNC to a nature lover .. she's had her bag fuller than she'd care to admit. As for me, i'm the laziest bum that you'd ever come across ... gimme a task and i'll give u a reason why it shouldn't be completed .. gimme a reason to get up and go to work and i'll give you two to not go to yours ... I've just about every trick in the book not to do my daily chores .. But then there's always a silver lining somewhere ... ahem ... yes there is ... and that's our constant hunger to explore ( Nature i.e. ;) ) ... from the beautiful valleys of himachal to beaches of Andaman .. there's nothing that doesn't hold us in awe of nature's beauty and it's hold on our puny li'l minds ... it's just a part of a larger collection of wisdom that's just too damn hard to comprehend ... mmmmmmmmmm .... Anyways ... enough said ... adieus ...

We are the best candidates because...

everything that we've ever done in our lives - considered by many as unconventional and by some as follery - have been nothing but stepping stones to a simple yet stimulating kaleidoscope of enlightening thoughts .. challenging the mirage of limits set by the human mind ... We'd like everyone to see the world through our eyes ...

Our Travel Plan

Would love to explore more of the north and north-eastern part of the country ... no detailed plans chalked out yet

Our Travelogue

Battered ol' Marutis .. SUVs .. bikes .. even our scrawny li'l chicken legs have withstood our selfish desires to wander (.. thankfully ) in and around northern parts of india (Ladakh and manali being all time favourites), Andamans (.. beautiful ..) and parts of south ( mainly bangalore, puttaparthi, hyderabad .. nothin' much to brag about .. too little time ) .. riding on the snake as far as it would lead us ..needless to say, it wasn't the destination but the tyre sized paranthas, humongous momos, refreshing cha-khantey, teeth breaking khambir ( .. the list goes on ... sorry , taste buds blues) and the wonderful people around us is what kept egging us on .. on and on and on .....

Shobhan ray : Dreams of travelling while writing software codes in his office.. A psychedelic view of the world by two crazy travel enthusiasts....Have known them for 6 yrs now...They have the idiosyncrasies of a crazy traveller... Not an iota of doubt in my mind that they are the ones this competition is luking for.... "citius altius fortius "...just w8ing for them to receive million rupees to have a grand party :P...Go Go Go Go

Mihir

Someday, should ur travels bring u way south...i hope u will remembr a friend from the past...I dnt know u sonam as much as i wud hav wished to know bt my sympathies r with u. I hope u find little or no remorse in whippin this self acclaimed lazy bums arse to get him trudgin. Cheers!!!

Prabhat Mudgal

Shobhan ray is a daredevil.Heard him kicking somebody's ass every other day in college.Sonam is a devil though she does not look like one.Adventurous and fun,they are sure going to win this. PS: word of caution to other competitors-Don't pick up fight with them they both are black belt in kung-fu.

guru

Sobhan ray: here goes ray boy........be at his doorstep and say u wanted to see the hazy part of life he ll take you through the other side...(:p).........his frivolous attitude totally suits the way he looks at life. He taught me the RED way of getting intoxicated (lol man)............no matter how much he gets intoxicated he still would be the same ray that was standing tall before getting intoxicated. Otherwise a very jaunty,vibrant and affable person ....who is great with people and greater in terms of adaptibility..........Seriously ray remember those good old days .......when travelling to the moon was just a phone call away...........hahahahah. ps: i just hope u ve shaved off ur moustache...lol.......great going man...all the very best......

mansi

lzadol is a total babe! her fashion sense is admirable.. from kolapuris to guccis, from swim suits to sarees, this girl can pull off anything! she is a shopping freak and absolutely LOVES to travel to new, unexplored places.. she has a very positive attitude towards life but does know how to give 'attitude' when someone asks for it!! ;P she might appear thin, but she has great stamina for trekking and all sorts of adventure activites..(river rafting in himalayas being her latest obsession).. at first glance she seems to be this shy girl but 'looks can be deceptive :) soon enough people get to know what a friendly, fun and adventurous person she is! way to go lzadol!

Akash

This team is gonna do wonders in the challenge as they are mentally prepared for it.They are talented and have a clear idea as to what is to b done. How it is to b done. How to project their work skillfully, with creativity..chances must be given to those hu can entertain the viewers as well..and these dynamic duo wil certainly do so...they are good at direction, photography, conceptualising..etc and hence wen they capture their journey on 4 wheels it'll be one of a kind experience.Cheers guys.Looking forward to vieiwng ur experiences...

- Sonam and I have known each other for 2 years now. Try as hard as I may, I%u2019ve never seen her flustered about nothing at all (except one time when things got ugly). She%u2019s cool as ice and hot as .. well %u2026 anyways .. best of luck.

ritika

- Ray .. dude .. nice!! %u2026 bring me lotta pics of the cedia %u2026

faizal

-It%u2019s strange why he would take so much time to actually participate in this event when I%u2019ve known about it for an eternity. I think they make a perfect couple to take on the adventure. Anyways, better late than never. Ray , u better win this - I%u2019ve been high n dry for a loooong time %u2026 cheers!
