There is now consensus amongst the Jury. After a tough battle for last 2 slots, we now have a firm list on our hands. I can look over my window to the sea, and I can see the tides are rising.

Get ready to meet 12 amazing couples, who have made it to the next round.

(P.S. For those who did not get the ‘white smoke’ bit in the title, please refer to my earlier post titled “Holy Smokes”)


There is only God between us and the final list of 12 couples!!

Yippeeee!!!!

Gr8 news TGDC!!  You have a sigh of relief. But what about us? Our heart beats faster as we move closer to 12.  No words to express our inner feelings. Our fingers are crossed and praying to GOD….

Posted by manoj agarwal  on  07/23  at  09:51 AM

Great News!! Now let us wait for 1200 pm!

The suspense is at its peak and I envy Sandip because he already know the selected 12.

Let pray and wait for the results now.

All the best everyone, may each one of us get a chance to live our dreams!!

Cheers!

Hi Sandip and Team:

Guru and I are very exited about this. May the best team get chosen for the drive and hope to see you all in Mumbai…

Great, just what I my heart needed to get some more exercise :D Wish there was a gym in the office

On a serious note, well done jury and wish all the best to the 25 couples to make it to 12. And best to the 12 for having a crack at Cedia wheels!

Top-12 or not, we had a great time here and thank you TGDC / Mitsubishi for organizing this fun and bringing like minded people together!

At this moment, our ECG Reports would anyways be more turbulent that the one on the TGDC Home Page.

..with less than an hour for the 24 ‘Popes’ err.. 12 Lucky Couples to be declared! 

Oye TGDC, TGDC Oye!

Posted by Tirthankar Basu  on  07/23  at  10:08 AM

Hi Sandip,

As you announce the TOP 12, request you to also list the names of the eminent jury who have done this               ” challenging ” task!

Whether we are amongst the chosen dozen or not, we would like to put on record our appreciation for the efforts that were put in by : HM, Mitsubishi, Zig Wheels, Contract Advertising, Encompass-Experience Commerce & last but not the least- “Sandip & Co.”

The concept was innovative, the execution and “The Ride” was truly enjoyable, we truly appreciate it!

Regards,

Narayan & Radhika

I’ve bitten all my nails,
while Amit is behaving like a chimney,
am totally nervous & can’t seem to find the right words…...
this half an hour of anxiety will be the worse…......
All the best guys…....
firstly to deal with this…....
and then for the journey ahead…..
hope TGDC doesn’t play with this one too.
Give it out simple & nice…......

Woah! I just wish I could meet some alchemist to listen to the Soul of the World to help us read the names in the white smoke ! smile

As always, we hope TGDC will immediately announce the next steps for top 12 and others for the next phase

Holy smoke, moments away!
