Does the destination matter?
Does the distance matter?
Do the roads matter?
Nothing matters as we travel
For we find joy in this moment
Not the next one, which is uncertain

If we say we are crazy about cars, it will be a lie. We do like them, but not to the extent that we go gaga about them. What about driving? We do love driving. Especially long-distance drives, where the travel is as exciting as the destination.

Are we after the money? Maybe. Maybe not. What do we do with Rs 10 lakhs? We can use it to give life to our shelved dreams! But, money definitely is not the strong motivator.

Fame? Perhaps. We could always do with a little bit of fame. 

Finally, it boils down to the sheer thrill of taking part. Had TGDC been designed for individual participants, we might not have been very keen. What caught our fancy is the ‘couple’ factor. Because, thecouple always likes to do things together, one of them being travelling.

Frankly, it’s for the kick of getting into the top 3; getting a chance to travel/drive for 10 days to the places of our choice, with all expenses paid. 

So far, we slouched on the chair. Other than sending out email requests and occasionally updating the social networks, we sat back with folded arms. The drama that unfolded in the past two weeks was worth watching.

We were reasonably sure to be in the top 100 and hopeful to be in the top 9 (now 12). At 12.00 pm yesterday, the uncertainty was over. It was a moment of great excitement. Then came the realisation that the slouching is also over. From now, we acknowledge that it is going to be great challenge. It’s time to roll up our sleeves, bring out all our energy, and focus it on just one thing – TGDC.

Friends, we share our moments of delight and enthusiasm here. Do join us in this journey with your cheers and smiles. And don’t forget to leave your comments.
